Need this lock picked

[zenchi8]

Previous message didn't seem to work, so once again.

I need this lock unlocked and locked:
see http://zenchi8.tumblr.com

for lock and key that looks a like but doesnt open it.

I'd suggest you call a local locksmith.
We don't recommend picking locks in use.
We have no way to verify if you have the legal right to get past that secured door, so helping you do so with only the information you have provided here, would be somewhat irresponsible of us.

What MBI said. Not to mention we'd also have to explain in great detail how the mechanism works and how to make the tools you'd need, as well as covering different types of anti pick situations... and no offense, but I don't have the patience to write a book for one individual who has no interest in picking beyond getting past this one particular door. I'm sure you can understand that.

There is no simple process we can talk you through to just to open that lock. As a complete newbie with no knowledge or experience of picking whatsoever you're not gonna open that unless it's one of 2 specific situations... and I'm not going into those because I haven't got a good feeling about this. If you at least explained the situation, why you need this lock picked, and why you're turning to the internet for help, it'd ease our minds a little.

Ok, I didn't expect this to be a hard lock to be picked.
I have the legal right, since it's my own door/room.

I do know that the bulb part needs to be in there 100% and from there it's twisting and checking.
Just not sure how to do that without the .42 half diamond thing.

ps: picking used to be a hobby.. couldn't get further than those simple golden locks you can buy. And it was in the ancient times so I forgot most of it.

But if nobody wants to help that's ok. I also can not proof it's my own door/room and why I prefer not to get a professional involved (besides the costs).

If you can't prove it to someone in person, you're most likely not going to convince us over the internet.

You can read a book, and try try try, but I dont think anyone would recommend you learn to pick locks on a lock that's in use. Especially since its unlikely that it's actually your own property.

In an earlier post you stated "I have the legal right, since it's my own door/room." Then you now say "I also can not proof it's my own door/room and why I prefer not to get a professional involved (besides the costs)." I'd say that it sounds like you DON'T have the legal right as if it was indeed your door/lock/room/whatever proving such would be trivial in person to a professional. Honestly, you sound at this point to be a very suspicious individual.

My money says OP is just a troll.

2 Words, meth lab.

I wouldn't touch this with a fiddy foot pole.

Best advice already given - call a locksmith. If the lock is broken it will need to be replaced and if not you'll need a key made anyway so picking won't achieve the 'lock and unlock' you need. Or, if it's your door/lock, just replace the lock. A half diamond pick won't open that lock.

That is sound advice to be sure. However, he wasn't referring to a normal half diamond pick, but a #42 half diamond. That would work well. MBI will verify that as well.

Hmm...what is a #42 half diamond? Please pm if it would give anything away that should not be revealed in this thread. I've never heard of it.
