I Need Help With A Particular Lock

Postby Robyn » 31 Jan 2012 12:50

I've done a good bit of research on the different kinds of locks but I can't find the name (or information) regarding the type of lock used in my house. The following are pictures of the locks and the key used to unlock it:

I need to know what kind of locks to use to pick this kind of lock and I need to know fast. My parents tend to lock the room where I play my video-games, watch my films, and basically spend most my day and night in. They've started locking it up more to force me to study more. The reason is unimportant. I need to know how I can pick that lock! :D

All help is thanked in advance.

Timely post.

Here's a good, ongoing discussion about why we don't discuss things like that here: Why are some subjects not allowed?

in the short time I have been here I am amazed at how many new posters do not read the rules.
Every online forum has some kind of rules for posting. Read them.
No introduction just "I need help with this lock" It is the instant gratification, self entitled generation.

It's your parents house, therefore it's their lock and their right to keep it locked.

Thanks a lot. This forum sucks. And here I was thinking a bloody LOCKPICKING forum would actually provide assistance on LOCKPICKING. -_-

You see, I hate having to write this, but I guess you missed what rules are for. They're put there to be respected, to guarantee a minimum of safety and to discourage wannabe-thieves from getting easy peasy information off google.
And in my opinion, having to unlock a room, may it even be your own, to play videogames instead of studying makes a lot of us laugh, me comprised :lol:
Really, there's nothing which guarantees that the person typing doesn't want to break into somebody else house. And such a bad attitude can do nothing but turn things against you. Maybe you're just a bit young, but this doesn't justify your words.

I think you misunderstood what lockpicking is. For some it's a sport and for some it's a work too, for us it often is both. But least thing I'd want is having it associated with criminal behaviour and unnecessary foul words. There are plenty of websites around, if you don't like this one...yeah you figured it out. :)

Thanks for reading

Robyn's vocabulary and grammar are way too good for someone who's parents are locking them out from their video games. I'm calling shenanigans on this one...

I'm pretty sure that is a GTFO lock, they usually tend to show up in really obscurely angled blurry photos.

Turns out you were wrong, and also stupid to put this here where your parents can find it with a simple google search. Enjoy your grounding.
