First, welcome to the site! :) You could start by reading the FAQs, the stickies and maybe some tool how-to's.

As for the question:

Not going to happen. You are a one post person, who wants to know how to get past a lock that is obviously locking some cabinet door (parents liquor hide?) and you haven't provided anything to prove the lock is yours. The hairpin like tooling suggest to me, that you don't have any money to buy or make the tools yourself and you are looking for a quick way past the lock.

No offence, but you sound a little sketchy.

yeah I agree, thats looking like a heavy duty lock for that cab. If u want to learn about lock picking (or pick locking? :? ) go to a wal-mart type place and invest in a practice lock and you need real tools to pick locks(at least homemade, but still picks) So if u get a lock we can help u with we will be glad to(maby take a photo of a lock receipt* and post it on the day u get it with the lock :D )

Yeah, locks attached to things ain't really our bag, friend. If you need it open, and it's your lock, and you don't want to break anything, call a locksmith.

Mounting direction doesn't matter, by the way.

Also, Dolly looks pissed, and I can't blame her.

But Schuyler, nobody even mentioned to the kid that this is a 303 lock. I mean, I've been doing this for 2 years now and I can't even open a 303 Co. Ultra Max Lock.

I own one, but just buying the tool to overlift it's special pins costs $100 and you have to either work for the government or be a ALOA Class 3 Registered locksmith.

wayyy too advanced, and this should be moved to Advanced section immediately, this lock is NOT for public discussion.

ps.. thanks for telling him mounting direction doesn't matter.

Now he's one step closer to opening it. just great.

Sorry but no, i think my collegues have covered this very well,

The lock will pick just like every other lock will pick, there will be a shear line of some description and a tension is likely needed to be applied,

Welcome to the site, we dont like telling people how to pick locks in use regardless of security,

Stick around and get into this hobby of ours,
