Hi and welcome to the forum! :)

As a new member and with a post like that, I doubt that you get any information considering that you haven't told it is your lock, you haven't provided info what lock it is, no picture, and you told you want to get it open "without leaving signs that you tampered with it".

So could you please provide us with some more info and is this lock you described really yours? Thank you :)

Im stuck for a ligitimate reason why anyone would want to make sure they left no sign they were there. Maybe someone wants to not cause any damage but i doupt youll get info on that specific lock here. Im afraid my limited combo breaking experiance im unwilling to share. Sorry for the vote of no confidence and welcome to the site.

Well now that we know that the locks is not yours, you will not get any help with it. I'm very sorry to say like this, but this is how things are done around here. If it ain't yours, you don't touch it.

Get yourself some padlocks from a hardware store or better yet, get a repinnable door lock cylinder and use that for picking :) This is a very nice hobby and educating, but you will have to walk the thin line or you will get in trouble.

I think he/she means "my parents lock" or "in the same household". Either way it's a no-go.

Aghhhhh How to say this nicely.

I will list a few mistakes you have made already and then like they said get some practice locks.

1. Don’t pick locks you rely on.

2. Don't pick locks that don't belong to you.

3. Don't start out on these kinds of locks.

4. Pray your parents don't check out your activities on the web or your busted.

5. Don't ask us to help with illegal information.


now lets list some things you should do that are positive.

1. Ask your parents about getting into the hobby.

2. Get some practice locks and pick pick pick.

3. Be understanding of your parents they only care about what is good for you.

4. Keep coming back to this site as it is an educational site with high morals.
The search button wants to be your friend. It is getting really lonely. Would you be its friend?
