Anyone picked a few locks, with an actual lockpicking set not just a paper clip? I need a few tips. Anything I should know except for staying away from rakes, pickguns and big sets as I start to learn?
I've picked quite a few locks man, I'll help you with whatever you want to know about lockpicking
I know the very basics, the shear line, needing to twist it slightly so that the pins don't fall. The real basics, I know how to use a pick from back to front push it to the shear line. If it doesn't open when all are in the right place you release a bit of tension and all ones out of place fall and you retry.
Also to get it out there, I've picked one and only one lock. Which I don't think is skill even I messed with it so much that the tumblers were weak. I stuck a key in it a little bit at the tip and just twisted hard while I was still torquing it to keep the tumblers up. Then I heard a pop and the tumblers fell out..
take a look at this picture: http://www.lockpicktools.com/images/352-01open-600.jpg

What I did was recreate those tools with paper clips (you WILL need some needle nose pliers), sure 3 of them you can't make with a paper clip, but the others can be made. Those tools kick ass
Yeah I'm buying an actual lock pick set, works better, carbon steel stronger less likely to bend.
Besides I've heard those pocket ones like that, that flip out are really crappy and hard to use if you've learned how to do it with a hand held tool. Unless you learn with those they supposedely are hard to use.
that picture is for the purpose of just showing the tools, I recreated all of them with paperclips. Besides, the paperclips won't bend if you do it right, except maybe the tensioner, but I used some solder to reinforce itQuote:

So I got my lockpick set, and I've picked my front door lock 4 times. With ease all under 45 seconds.
nice nice, I can pick my front door in about 1min 30sec, but remember, I'm using a custom built lockpick set (paperclips I reinforced using some solder and crap)Quote:

Anyone looking to take up on this, do not get a raking set, do not get a pick gun. They are harder than using a basic hook pick, but are generally faster once you learn how.
Anyone looking to learn, learn the basics of how a lock works, you may know but you probably don't know EXACTLY. You need to know. And always work from the back to the front, its tradition and makes it easier on you.
