No not cars at least not any that arent mine. The only cars locks I've picked were on two of my friends' cars and my dad's car and my step moms truck, they were all locked out. I dont even own jigglers, I dont want them because i like using ball and double ball picks to play with wafer locks, plus i have a double sided tension wrench so i dont need them.

well ANY auto discussion is classed as advanced but if i was you i woudnt waste my money. get a coupleof peterson picks instead.

And all of this because I asked about glued locks in a locksmith's forum.

this isn't a forum for locksmiths.. that would be http://www.locksmiths101.com/forums/ this is lockpicking101, not lockunglueing101.

if you got a glued lock, call a local locksmith to come out and do his job.

if you're working as a locksmith and wondering what other locksmiths would do.. go call another local locksmith, we do this as a hobby and a challenge, not as a vocation, even though some of us are locksmiths during the day.

and you're not the only one to ask a question in this realm.. at least once a month some home owner with a stuck lock will stop by here asking for free advice, because people have learned they can google their way out of any house hold problem from frozen pipes, to installing a phone jack, or open a lock.

this isn't ask.com, sorry.

ps. I cant be the pot calling the kettle black, so I'll tell you that about 3 months ago, I asked how to remove glue out of a lock, but only because I was given the lock and wanted to pick it for fun, not because it was mounted to a door on a house. I ended up drilling the glue out, but the pins were all glued in their stacks anyway so it's now just a nice paperweight on my desk. The least you could have done is stumbled upon my post which had a ton of ideas for dissolving, heating and removing glue from a lock.

search on.

I think the original question was basically, "How do I get glue out of a lock".

since glue isn't really a part of locks, I'm not sure that removing the glue is "bypassing" so at the risk of getting spanked:

I work for a city school district. This year, on the first day of school, we found every single exterior lock cylinder filled with urethane glue at our senior high school. That's the glue that's sold under the brand name "Gorilla Glue".

This stuff is tough. It expands to fill the space and once cured forms a solid plastic chunk.

We were able to open one door (using a secret method ) and were able to open the rest of the doors from the inside and school opened on time.

But I now had dozens of locks I wanted to clean instead of replace. I tried soaking them overnight in naptha, I tried acetone, I tried paint thinner and turpentine. Nothing even touched the stuff.

I finally called Gorilla Glue tech support. They told me that once urethane glue has cured, there is no solvent that will disolve it. I don't know if that' s true but that's what they told me. They also told me I wasn't the first school to call.

I realize this only helps if the glue you're talking about is urethane. And that it doesnt really help much then.

The subversive speech patterns found in this forum are a bit irritating. Picking is a means of bypassing - from now on there will be no discussion of picking locks on these forums!

I think you started this by such an irritable and incorrect statement,

You otherwise got your answers which by the way could have been found if you at least try to search before posting,

People like yourself purely come here to cause trouble, we see you come and go but never get access to the good stuff,

Generally on a forum such as this (which incidentally is a hobby picking forum not a locksmith forum, thanks squelch well said ) you would search for your answer before posting and then if you cant find your answer after making that effort then you respectfully ask the question as a new thread,
It is then customary to await the replies and take in the answers, you asked the question accept the answers, if you dont want the answers theres no other reason to ask the question other than to start somthign you want to get funny on,

You asked 2 questions in your first post, 1) how do you bypass locks that have been glued, my answer to that was we do not discuss lock bypassing, your second question of 2) how do i get glue out of a lock was answered by not only myself but others as well,

You decide you dont quite like the definitions of the lock world so decide what YOU say is what goes and decide to try and tell us that lock pin manipulation is bypassing, we corrected you but you still fail to fall in with the crowd,

You be the outcast, i give you a week or so if that, i have no intention of 'giving you a break' in future and simply wont help with any answers to your pending questions, i imagine im not alone on that thought,

Maybe have a read around the site and learn some stuff before posting again and hope we all forget your childishness with time otherwise youve sealed your fate as just another prick with a chip on your shoulder,

Ps, thread locked

Edit, Smurfy, is bumping picking? nope, is jiggleing picking? thats a hard one, its useing the princilbes of rakeing so yes it surely has to be that,

They do however often damage or wear loicks out unless used carefully and deliberatley with knowledge of the lock your manipulating, i dont like them so dont use them but if you want to play or anyone else interested use a separate wrench for a better result and less chance of lock damage,
