Need help picking locks

Postby mysterioz » 26 Jun 2005 5:10

Please help me..Im having problem picking my toilet door. I think its a wafer tumbler lock. I been trying to open it for like 6 hours now.. The problem is i cant feel the pins..i been raking like hell but still nothing happens. I did read some guides including the MIT and howstuffworks.. Im using a screwdiver and a thin long wire with a bent at the end..

first off - determine ownership
is this your lock to pick ?
if the police came in and dusted the toilet seat for prints
would they match your....err.... prints :shock:

i haven't seen to many keyed locks on residential / home toilet doors

Get better tools. Be more patient and learn and practice.

6 hours? Wow, that's a long time in front of the loo. Err... raking without a proper rake might not do much for you and I don't think wafer locks have pins.... hence the term... wafer (or disc :wink: ) As Geek said, get some better tools, learn, be patient and keep trying.

Like Geek says, Get better tools.
Maybe if you try putting a bit of a squiggly shape in the wire?
Or at least not rake it with a hook.
Maybe see if you can turn your bit of wire into a shape sort of like:


@@@@@@@@@------------------Handle----

or even:


@---------------------------Handle-------------

And use a quarter of the tension that you are using.

Are you sure it is your lock, because the only toilet wafer locks
that I can think of, are in public toilets, locking up the toilet paper.

.....You're not trying to pinch dunny rolls, are you? :roll:

Q. What's the definition of 'patience'?
A. A blind man trying to pick a lavatory door lock with a piece of toilet paper.
