Picking up a new hobby... Lock Picking. * 1
    #26762379 - 06/21/20 06:55 AM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Anyone ever get into lock picking?  I’ve always liked puzzles and this one seems like one of those things that having a little know how could maybe pay off one day.  I know how pin locks work and all that so how hard could it be?  Plus, if I get good at the shit I can just put an ad in the paper undercutting legit locksmiths and make a little side bank.  Win win...:thumbup:

I watched some random videos on the youtube. Locks can be picked fairly quickly, I was quite surprised.

Some fairly complex mechanisms, some of which if picked, may destroy a lock.

Give it time. That's why new locks are invented.

Practice. Practice. Practice.

It doesn't matter how old the lock is it's the construction. There are brand new gun locks meant to hold those ARs some cops have in their cruisers and they can be defeated by a ceramic magnet. You could unlock it like 40-50 times a minute by just slapping the magnet on in the right place and that's what your popo roll around with on the daily.


Nita check out the LockPickingLawyer on YouTube. Picking locks is a lot like a puzzle. Just have the right tools and think outside the box. I'm not sure how much those tools would be but you could probably get fairly diverse kits.

Yeah I was thinking that’s going to be the hardest part trying to find locks that I don’t mind if I screw up + I really want to figure out ignitions so I may have to hit up the junkyard and see if I can find some cheap ones.

Word I’ll definitely check that out.  As far as finding kits this place seems like the best spot I’ve found so far..

They look like they have some decent sets that aren’t too hard on the wallet..:thumbup:

Yeah I messed around with it a bit and was able to open some locks. You can make picks out of hacksaw blades and a tensioner out of an allen key. With some hacksaw blades the body of the blade is spring steel.

I once had a lock smith come unlock my motorbike. He stuck a blank into the key slot and wiggled it around. Then pulled out and looked at where tiny scratches were on the blank. The he ground down the spots with scratches on metal file until the key worked. He never even asked if it was my bike.

I don't think anyone is considering becoming a burglar, lol.  I just think it'd be a fun skill to learn to pass some time while "distancing"

Its good to learn how to burglarize houses or even better commercial businesses. I bet I could break into ur house rn no problem would have to case the place for like 2 minutes. Thats the thing most nirmal people have bo idea how burglars think at all. U go up to a thing look at like 50 expencive locks and all kinda shit. U go huh thats cute they prob have a ton good shit to steal look to the left shimmy up a thing cut hole in a screen rob everything in the joint. Load up all thier shit into thier car and drive off. Normal people don't know how to think like a smart criminal but even ur average criminal knows how to think like some idiot.

Bumping still works on a shitload of homes with sc1 and kw1 keyways. Also you can rake those locks faster than using the actual key in most circumstances.

There are definitely locks that break or require taking apart as a security feature but we're talking high security stuff. If I remember correctly either the pins themselves are made to give out or there is like a trigger mechanism that locks the pins or even preventing the lock from being turned. They don't get destroyed though these are like several hundred dollar locks.

Here's that video on the AR lock I was talking about. Like 400,000 of them out there and the saddest part is he has a few similar videos with different gun locks being used by law enforcement.

Like i thought none get destroyed. Some high security cores like assa have some high security measures but nothing that stops a highly skilled picker or lets anyone know it was picked or attempted to be picked

Amanita send me a PM ill mail you a practice lock that will get you hooked
