Newb at picking, trying to pick a canadian door look

[yoyoman127]

Can someone help me out I can't pick this door lock but it's 3-4 pin and farily wide opening. Sp any tips would be nice.

My tip would be to read Wolf's reply in your previous thread. Then if need be ask a more specific question that is more readily answerable and shows you've put some time in trying figure out the basics of this great hobby/profession on your own.

Good luck.

If it is a door lock, I would be surprised if it has any less than 5 pins. That would be your first step - to find out for sure how many pins are in it. If you don't know how to do that you need to go read the MIT Guide to Lockpicking. You'll find it around here somewhere... look under the sofa.

yea im new to this and im having troublr with a 5pin E-Z-SET house lock andit wont let me even turn it at all. Do you think it could be pick- proof?
any help would be apprecated thanks

With a name like "E-Z-SET" it better not be pick-proof

Do you think it could be pick- proof?

I suppose that's a matter of perspective. There really isn't a "pick proof" lock in principle. There are some locks that are very very hard. That is probably not one of them.

Was that helpful? I dunno.

In your situation, I think so.

[rayman452]

Nah, just get out your pick with the C4 on the tip, insert, and press the magic button.

I have some experiance with E-Z-Set, they are very popular in my area because of how secure they are. They employ small electric resistors inside the lock, which sense the resistance of standard metal picks and won't let the lock unlock if they are inside the lock. The actual key, if you look at it, is not steel but a special non-conductive alloy that the resistors do not notice. To bypass these, you have to create picks out of a non-conductive meateral such as wood or plastic. Best of luck.



P.S. Search.

mcm... sigh...

The plastic knives supplied by deli's are great for making picks and bypassing the sensing resistors. Just make sure they have not been used, as mayo is conductive.

That's a new one for me. I've made mine out of old credit cards. That's a neat idea though, I'm going to go try making some out of plastic knives.

[Mad Mick]

The problem with the credit cards is the swipe strip on the rear. If you use this part of the card, there is the possibility of the pick becoming stuck due to the high magnetronic density of the brass pins, cylinder and housing. The only remedy for pick removal when confronted with this is to short the plug/housing with a 9v battery. To do this, make sure the + pole of the battery is placed on the housing and the - on the plug. Use in short durations of around 0.5ms, combined with a rocking/extrapolating motion

The deli knives are by far the better, and safer option.

HTH,
Mick.
