First off you don't need to make a new thread to post the picture. Second, please use titles to your threads that describe what you need help with using only proper english. third, why is it so important that you pick the lock? We will give you no help until you answer this question. forth, you will never pick that lock with hair pins.

Bwuahaha, You spelled "Important" wrong... Geesh talk about proper english.. Ease up buddy.

I just need to pick-lock that certain door, because my frat friends keep locking, I lost my keys, I'm still looking for it though.. But for the moment
I'd just want to stick with pick-locking my door, without having to climb over a window.

Until I earn enough money to buy a much secure one.. So please help me.

Yes, my typing skills or lack of them are the butt of many jokes. I'm used to it. I do make a reasonable attempt, that is all we ask. The problem is you are asking how to pick a lock that is in use. We don't teach people to do that. You will cause damage to the lock and it will not work at all. The lock most likely has a schlage or arrow keyway. Both can be pretty tough to pick, a beginner with hairpins has no chance of picking it. You Need to either go to the home deopt and buy a new lock, or call a locksmith to make you a new key.

Man, you dont want to start off picking this lock,or have to pick it every time you need to get into your door , get a key copied. Will take to long,and it's not easy.If you want to learn to pick, start with something easier,build your confidence.Nobody can tell you how to pick this, takes time, practice, and real tools.Picking is an art,if you learn to do it,it will bring you great pride.

No offense, but if you have lost your key, how do you expect not to loose picks?

Also, that lock appears to be a commerical lock, and as others have said will not be a walk in the park.

Nor should you ever pick a lock you rely/use. (unless your me, but thats a whole different ball game) :lol:

that looks eerily identical to the $5 lock I scored a ace hardware, the clearance rack it where its at. Call a locksmith have a key made, go home happy with a still functioning lock, maybe you wont lose your next key

I can pick that lock with a hairpin and a piece of my windshield wiper.

PM me your details, buy me a plane ticket and lodging, hook me up with a sorority chick and I'll pick it for you. :roll:

you mention the frat buddies. If this means that you are staying in a frat house or a dorm or an apartment then getting another key should be as simple as talking to whoever manages that facility.
