Is It possible?

[Cocker]

I been wondering for sometime if its possible to make a lock picker using a 75mm jumbo paper clip or something really cheap, if so what should it be shaped like to get into my old cupboard?

I'd recommend getting a pick set but if you just need to open a cuboard you can usually shove a flat paper clip in push up on the pins and turn it with a small screwdriwer.

Picks can be made from all manner of doohickey, including a paperclip. It might not be the best way, especially since paperclips are not notoriously stiff but if it's a cheap lock go for it.

Anyone considered what type of lock is one this cupboard?
Pin tumbler= Simple medium/small tension
Wafer=Double tension with whatever you feel comfortable with (i prefer a double ball)
Lever Lock=Simply two pieces of wire
Not sure the lock inq uestion could be a different type
Hope i helped you

Before I bought lock picks, I coated a bent paperclip with soder and it became very stiff and acutally worked pretty well.
