How to begin picking this lock?

Postby Oldyoungin » 15 Jan 2018 16:14

I am 18 and need to go to gym but have no car. I have an apartment complex next to me with really nice gym but requires a key. How do I pick this lock without breaking it. I am also on a budget so I don’t want to buy expensive kit. Please tel me how to pick this cheaply

Hello,

This is a forum for hobby lockpickers who pick their own locks as a fun puzzle solving hobby, and for locksmiths and other professionals such as police and government who use their skills for work.

We do not teach people how to break the law by breaking and entering. It is also against the rules of this hobby to pick other people's locks or locks that you don't have any business picking.

Picking Schlage Primus isn't kid stuff either, you're not gonna buy a lock pick set for $25 bucks and pick that lock, it's a high security lock, most of us here can't even pick that lock.

Maybe you could walk to the gym, consider it a free warm up before your work out.

good luck getting swole,
Squelchtone

18+ means "tried as an adult" and "grown man prison." Even if you could pick that lock, you don't want to.

He said he didnt want to break in. I wonder what category he puts illegally picking in?

Who says you need a gym? Anyone who read comic books growing up knows there is an alternative: http://www.charlesatlas.com
