first picking

Postby yofu » 20 Jul 2005 12:41

alright, so im at work and i was just on the internet looking at random stuff and i came across the MIT guide for lockpicking.

i have a desk that locks, so i was like 'what the hell, ill give it a try'. so i read up a bit, figured that my desk has the wafer type lock, 6 wafers. i fashioned a little torque wrench and a pick out of paper clips (ill post pictures once i get a chance), and i gave it a try.

i basically just wnet one pin (or wafer in this case) at a time, and applied more pressure til each one was set above the shear line. and then once i got the last one - bam. unlocked.

i was happy. i think when i get home im gonna build a good pick and torque wrench at my house, and pick one of the old locks we took off my side door a whlie ago.

anyawys, i have to get pics up of the paper clips i used, they were ridiculous haha the torque wrench was just a paper clip that was kinda folded so that there was almost like a loop at the end, and then the pick was just a straightened out paper clip.

alright i think this is a long enough intro post, im sure you guys will be hearing from me some more

haha yea i am hooked...since work is boring i just went back and picked it like 5 more times in the last hour or so. i just cant wait to get home and build a better pick and wrench, instead of using the paper clips. theyre annoying.

Wow, read the MIT guide, picked your first lock and realizes that paper clips suck. Pretty good for the first day (was like my first week :oops:). Welcome :D

I was obsessed with hair (bobby) pins to start with. Found they sucked real quick :) Although with practice, they're mediocre rakes.
