do not pick locks that you or anyone else relies on... they can and will break and then you will be in a world of hurt


the moral is.... locks in use don't get help.....

1: That isn't the toughest keyway you're going to run in to. In fact, I'd venture that it barely rates.

2: As UW made clear, you will not get help picking a lock in use. Get yourself some practice locks, and until we see you with lock-in-hand you're going to have a hard time finding help here.

We have a pretty straightforward ethic here. Don't pick locks you rely on, and don't pick locks that aren't yours.

So that lock, which appears to be in use, and which you haven't offered any solid proof of ownership (and it being attached to a door for the room you've been assigned to sleep in/work/guard does not count as your own) we can't help you.

Sorry.
