Warded Picks

[bigone5500]

Could anyone tell me some tricks to using warded picks? Also has anyone made any from scratch?

They are just desgined to bypass the wards on warded locks. Just insert and turn. Pretty simple.

the simplest ones are skeletonized keys, with all the non operating parts cut away, I once hammered a master lock key flat to make one that would fit all keyway curtain varients, hammering will widen the thing, so you will have to file away the width also. you will need a flat file. if you use other material for the piece make sure that you can harden it against twisting along the shaft.

Are you referring to the key or the lock? Also, if I were to take a warded key and file all but the two teeth on the end, would that make a good pick?

yes, if you file down all the notches on a master warded lock key you will end up with a "master" key to all of the same types of master locks, possibly more
