- Video 1509 is probably long overdue, but a recent email motivated me to come up with an emergency lock pick kit for preppers, consisting primarily of bypass tools and rakes. Enjoy!

Nearly lost my mind when you kept pulling out rings of bump keys like a magician with scarves. Great video!
He should have dropped a stuffed toy rabbit on the bench, just for fun 😂
There were 3 rings. Chill.
You don't actually need that many profiles as a smith, there's a way to cut a bump key that will fit multiple profiles
czcams.com/video/ij0c-236O0k/video.html
I agree about the practice element for picks, but I think I would add maybe one hybrid (petersen gem, or such), and one shallow hook. Doesn't add much weight, but takes that percentage from 80 - 90 to 90 - 95% for locks with either really good bitting, or one or two anti bump pins.
Nice of them to make locks with different weaknesses, so we have options
The thing I'd add for UK preppers is a Fire Brigade master-key set, which give access to communal areas, utility & electrical cupboards, lift-machinery rooms, etc, in residential tower-blocks, hospitals, schools, office-blocks, stations, & many other public buildings.
They're good for urbex as well. :)
You know 30 yrs ago I never thought I would spend my time watching lock picking videos life is weird.
I worked with locks from a very young age, and a professional locksmith for 10 years. Just wanted to say you hit the nail on the head here! I would like to add, take some time and practice. Get comfortable using them, so when the time comes and you need to use your skills you will have a greater success rate. Great video and advice!
The finish with the bump key collection blew me away
Will you be selling kits like this? I'd buy a Bonsnianbill branded "panic button" kit in a heartbeat.
The BosnianBill "My kid lost the key" kit, if you will.
I'd get one as well!
I’ll take one too. I’m tired of drilling locks out when my tenants change the locks out.
I'll take a few please.
As a Prepper I'd buy one or two Bosnianbill Prepper Pick kit
Probably one of the best videos I've seen where basic concepts of lock picking and tools required for it are presented. Thank you B.
Yup the secrets of picking are there you just need to take notes
70 yrs old beginner , great video , very useful & good to see " what not to use " , thanks moe
Somebody should sell this as a kit. I would buy it!
The closest I've seen is Sparrows Ranger series
I like the list and it pretty much mirrors my EDC (need to grab one kit to open an unknown lock two stories up and half a block away from a parking space) as a working locksmith... (I ain't here to impress you with my picking skills, I'm there to get you in as quick as possible so I can move on to the next job)... Typically I love rakes and bypasses. But I feel like you left a few things out....
1. Plastic "loid" strips, they're light, flexible, dirt cheap (or easily made) and you can both use them to open a LARGE percentage of poorly installed latchbolts, and determine if you even need to mess with the deadbolt. (I even keep one on my work clipboard as a "sweat shield" while I'm filling out a customers receipt.)
2. Bump keys. You're 100% right, as usual, that to cover EVERY keyway profile you'd need a LOT of bump keys, BUT I have like 8 on my bump key ring and can bump 90% of the locks I come across when needed (when they won't rake or shim, before I resort to SPPing) In most parts of the US, mine especially, you typically only see a couple of types of keyways anyway... (for residential locks typically Schlage or Kwikset) Provided you have a ring tailored to where you are, I think to leave them out is an oversight.
Mine is as follows....
Schlage L profile (SC19) for both five and six pin, being the multi section master, which will cover anything in the traditional Schlage keying system. That leaves out Primus (which we're not bumping) and Everest (which picks like a regular Schlage provided you shim the one lifter pin)... Not gonna lie, I use the 5 pin L more than anything because Schlage F series levers are a weakness of mine... (dang springs on the top pins... PITA)
Sargent LN another MSM that works for all L series Sargents.
Yale, 5 and 6 pin (Y1 &Y2)... I HATE picking Yale with a passion because of the paracentric keyway... Might be no big deal for sport pickers and those who are used to picking European cylinders, but they're a PIMA... LOVE my Yale bump keys.
American Padlock AM3 and AM4...
Best/Falcon M... MSM for most IC cylinders (it'll ruin the cylinder most of the time, but it works in a pinch, I only use it if destructive entry is OK and I want to try it before running down to the car to grab the "rotary pick")
Add a couple of castration bands to your ring and you can open MOST of the locks in my area that MIGHT pose an issue with raking...
My "bump hammer" is my Access Tools "super one hand jack" auto wedge, which does a fairly good job once you get the hand of it, adding to more versatility. More on that in a minute...
3. Mini blind cord, about 1 meter..... Hotel lock? No problem... Chain lock... No problem... and use the "super one hand jack" (AKA my bump hammer), and modify a loid, and you've got a nice "lasso tool" for exposed vertical vehicle locks. Handy thing to have on hand...
4. Snap gun.... I LOVE MINE (Sparrow's Double tap)... I know that preppers don't want to practice (which is ironic if you think about it) but it honestly doesn't take THAT much practice with most common keyways... They're worth the added space and weight is minimal IMO...
5.THE ONE I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH!!!!.... Can of WD40.... The other day I'm coming back from a long day of calls and get another... It's hot, I'm dehydrated, I'm pretty worn out, I'm technically closed for the day, but the call is in my neighborhood... Get there, get customer ID and my paperwork done and it's a single Kwikset deadbolt... House is a vacation home and not used for 3 months... I rake... and get a false set (yes Kwikset is putting "spools" in their locks these days... they're VERY shallow, but complement the tendency to corrode and gather dust nicely) I grab a hook, but then I'm just feeling dead pins, no counter rotation at all... because everything's grimy... Not thinking about anything but a shower, air conditioning and beer thirty, I pick the other way, same.... I try SPPing.... Same..... I even reach for the snap gun... Same... It's been almost 5 minutes on a freaking Kwikset...
In a flash of "how could you bee this dumb".... One squirt of WD40, and two kinetic passes with a Sparrows quad later and it's open... besides, just a damn handy thing to have around, second only to duct tape...
great comments! please do a response video...
What is mini blind cord and how to use it ? Is kevlar cord or min paracord similar ?
THIS SHIT IS NOT FOR THE PREPER,YOUR JUST SHOWING OFF,UGH.
Derek Broestler m
You missed the hinge puller, which can completely bypass lots of door locks with a very low-skill attack.
@@markbassett2338 czcams.com/video/OLkK723VslA/video.html or equivalent.
i call that the Wonderbar :)
For most North American doors, the hinge is on the inside and not accessible from outside. This tool wouldn't do much
@@sureitmightbe Also pins go from the door to door frame in case hinge pins are removed when the door is closed, at least on any good door.
The hammerless one recommended by Deviant Ollam would be a good edition. He says he has used it to great effect as a physical pen tester, so I wouldn't worry too much about hinge pins getting in the way.
Bolt cutters and an 8 - 10 lb. sledge hammer. That'll get you in just about anything. Also, new locks and chain. Once you're in, you want to keep out everyone and everything else.
I very much enjoy your videos and the thoughtfulness you use in selecting whats best for your viewers/audience/friends. God Bless!
Wow you got me I was like what's wrong with bump keys I only see the same key way usually then I saw your pile start to stack...
The moment I saw the title I already favorited the video. Really thanks Bill, love your videos!
Great selection if all you need to do is open a lock, not compete. I would add a set of 4 or 6 combs in different dimensions & thicknesses. You can also make a very easy-to-use electric pick gun from a low-end Oral-B toothbrush (some run on batteries, some can be charged by USB in your car or from your laptop, for example). Remove the brush head. Cut around the upper portion to expose the top of the inner metal rod (being careful to cut not too far down the shaft or the internal rod will come out (superglue it back in if you make this mistake). Take a rasp or a dremel & flatten out the round rod that protrudes so it is thin & flat like a manual pick gun's. Ten or twenty minutes to make, works far better than a manual pick gun (& much quieter!) and I've made several for noobs who had no trouble using them even on locks with security pins. You might only pay about $19.95 USD (I've seen ones as cheap as under $6.00 but have never tried one) for the battery toothbrush (ten bucks more for the rechargable) & the rest is just a bit of elbow grease. It is much smaller than the electric gun you show - too big for a small kit bag, but still easy to stick in a go bag. And a lot cheaper than the commercial ones, which can run from $175.00 to $250.00 with Multipick making the smallest I've seen, but charging somewhere in the range of $500.00. I also do carry several bump keys for the most common Schlage locks (like the SC1 & SC 9) & Kwiksets (they all seem to have the same keyway entry profile), along with 4-pin & 5-pin padlock bump keys, though I prefer little springs to those castration rings that come with the keys to do the auto reset. You can use anything from a coke bottle to a shoe to tap it & if it's going to work, it usually does with only several bumps once you get comfortable with it. Commercial shackle shims are nice, but I've used flattened soda cans to cut some out & even a flattened piece of a liter plastic soda bottle in a pinch. I would also include 3 different width straight tensioners. The ones with the bends are sometimes a bit too springy & don't give as good feedback. Even with these "easy" tools, you still should practice regularly. You can usually find used locks from locksmiths or friends to same money, but the greater variety of common locks you have for practice the better you will become.
Awesome, never even thought about picks for a prepper kit. Great video!
This was incredible information!!! Thank you to your viewer for coming up with that question and to you for taking the time to make this video.
This kit ought to include a few super common keyed-alike keys, such as the C415A, the CH751, the 501CH, and the 1284X.
Where do we get those besides eBay?
@@dmgill83, honestly, its cheaper to just buy certain locks that come with keys. You just have to know what they go to.
Yeah - I'm pretty sure Deviant Ollam has made that video already, but it might be worth a link in the description 🙂
@@iamtoast3397 , he did. But I'm not sure how many people follow both Deviant Ollam AND Bosnian Bill. Also, Deviant's video was more about knowing the security issues with keyed alike applications of locks. This video is more about prepping to pick and bypass the majority of locks for a disaster scenario. There needs to be more overlap of content.
@@---cr8nw Yeah, that's why I thought a link in the description would be good - rather than replicate content, share the love/knowledge 😊
I love at the end when you pull out three huge rings of bump key hilarious Great video
Love this kit, something I would love to put together. Thanks for the info Bill.
Good question, great answer!
Thanks Bill
This kit is essentially the Sparrows Ranger kit with a few additions and deletions. The additions are: the TOOOLs waves set, a
"W rake" from Multipick or Southord (but they use other names: look at the profiles), a Sparrows decoder, a set of warded lock picks. The Ranger kit has a basic set of hooks and rakes -- including a city or "L rake" -- a knife tool, padlock shims, the mini slim jim, and wafer lock picks, plus a case that holds everything.
Oh, and Bosnianbill's kit also includes a set of Sparrow's flat bars for top of keyway tension. The Sparrow's Ranger kit only has the bottom of keyway tensioners.
While I mostly agree with your comments about the jackknife set, I do think it depends greatly on what the set contains. This was a great video though!
Thank you, I am a prepper and I am learning lock picking for that reason. Mike
Good indeed, from a lot of perspectives. Prepping and security
I would absolutely buy this kit... Very cool video, Thanks!!
I agree about the practice element for picks, but I think I would add maybe one hybrid (petersen gem, or such), and one shallow hook. Doesn't add much weight, but takes that percentage from 80 - 90 to 90 - 95% for locks with either really good bitting, or one or two anti bump pins.
id toss in that bogata with the hook on the back that he showed off a few videos ago to cover the hook need
I agree, surely one hook included would just up that percentage a little.
I agree but the original question specifically requested "no experience", and hooks require a good amount of practice to become proficient with.
@@bosnianbill I consider myself quite the newbie to picking (still haven't managed that damn DUO core Corbin) but there are several locks which defy raking (to me) but open easily with a pick. I don't know why.
Given the strict limits of the scenario, your kit is likely more useful. I would love to see an actual "man on the street" type of test to find out how well your kit would work out.
Yeah if you dont know how to use them its not gonna increase your percentage at all. Take it from 90 to about ummm....idk 0
The “W” rake at 6:30... amazing tool. I immediately tried it on three locks that were kicking my ass and they opened.
oh I really like this. also a big fan of comb picks. dont always when they work but when they work they work
Thanks for the new video Bill!
I use the Sparrows Bomba Royale, supplemented with some mica shims, a probe for code locks, a .0015 worm rake, the huk impression toolkit and a cheap snap gun. Cost around $60 to put together and has got me through most locks where time is pressing. I recently added a straightened paperclip to be able to open locks where the keys are still in on the other side and that little gem works just fine and was free!
I gotta tell ya, one of my favorite videos of yours because it is so well explained and applies to so many people. You're number 1 in my mind and have taught me almost everything I know about locksmithing, being I started from scratch, and...I don't know what else to say. You rock.
Bill, I appreciate the time you put into your videos, thank you. Being a ”Prepper” and new to lock picking my mind also goes to having a Sillcock’s key to access commercial buildings water outlets, and maybe even a set of elevator keys.
oh just to add a point i was heading to ,i am filling down and smoothing out picks and getting great ,thanks
That’s an excellent video Bill ;very informative as usual.
Fantastic video. Your legacy lives on.
hi your tensions are wery good, thank you.
Thanks I'm just starting trying lock picking for a hobby this video helped me a lot
Cars are a mute point they don't need picking 👍🛠
I got into lockpicking from watching your videos Bill and while the SPP'ing is nice and for sure an art form I'm more interested in the down and dirty. I wanna rake, bypass, or shim my way through so this is right up my alley.
Excellent work. I love minimalism and efficiency. Thanks for cutting the crap!
Great list.... time to do a little shopping
That's a great kit for a rapid entry, thanks Bill.
No a crowbar is a great kit for rapid entry this is great for secure entry and not destructive actions
I'm an LPL fan, this is the first video of yours that I have watched. very interesting.
Thank you for all your great videos!
This was fantastic. Thanks Bill!
The Sparrows Bogota is probably the nicest, cheapest rake on the market and the best thing they make. I'd also include a mini hacksaw blade for SHTF. Great vid!
I’m glad you did this video, thank you!
I’m a telephone repairman and a major obstacle is going into apartment buildings and businesses after the maintenance guy or manager isn’t on duty and nobody can get me into the basement and or the utility/electrical room and I return the job and roll the dice on picking up a dreaded end of shift 4pm ticket in the .... “high crime urban center” and I’m trying to figure out my best set of bypass and high probability attack tools and think you’d be able to have some popularity among electricians, plumbers, utility company workers etc if you packaged a set similar to this video
pure Gold -Thank you!
Hope all is well Bill. Still enjoy watching all your episodes
I'd say comb picks are a must too
As someone interested in realism in writing, these things help a great deal. I remember reading a book sometime in junior high, and it involved a group including a thief who was the main character sort of, and he bypassed at least on lock by 'sticking the tip of his dagger in doors lock' and wait for it, 'gave an expert twist', and even though I was young and ignorant as to how (most) locks functioned exactly, I knew this was quite stupid, I mean at least use a couple wires or something. Anyway, you get the point, excellent video, found you through lockpickinglawyer in a bid to answer questions I had about locks, and I found I like your content quite a bit, I think we have some interests in common, keep up the good work.
Nice assessment Bill
Brilliant question from subscriber and Excellent Answer and demonstrations from this master.
Great choices Bill, and you are right, the inner locksporter in me wants a hook or 2, but probably unnecessary from the prepper standpoint. I also think the Sparrows Ranger case would be a great option for folks looking for something to carry everything in. Thanks for the video!
Great tutorial Bill.
Good to see peoples opinions on their inclusions as well.
That gash on your left index finger looks nasty Bill! You gotta be careful!
This video is frigging awesome!!!... He knows his stuff and does a REALLY good at explaining things!!!
The only lockpicking video you will ever need if you just want to dabble and have a chance at most locks 👏👏👏
one of my Favorite Vids so far
Great video! Thank you. You covered all my questions.
Hrm...4/10 no ramset in the kit.
But seriously I shoumd grab my brother a LPick kit...
You missed the hinge puller, which can completely bypass lots of door locks with a very low-skill attack.
I know this is an old video, but it makes my Covert Companion look good.
Just what I've been looking for! Thank you.
Very informative, Bill, thanks.
Love the NOT pile !
Great video and a great selection of tools. I'm also a Prepper. Most folks don't know it. But I've had every kind of training a prepper could dream about. A good prepper will train train in everything they can think of. As they say knowledge is power. But for a prepper it's the power to survive. When I started picking I had no idea it would take me down the rabbit hole. Now I'm working on making a income as a locksmith. Picking locks has interested me since I was a kid. Just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
Something else to think about! Great video!
I really like the wave rake set. Buying them now. Great video!
Always learn something. I've been using the wave rake wrong all this time, probably explains why they have not worked well for me. The W rake, I had no idea that it was used as a kinetic tool.
I think its very practical to carry or have such a kit.
Good afternoon, sir I just heard that you are retiring. I’d like to take the time and say thank you. If it wasn’t for you, I would never have gotten into lock picking. your videos are great. you will be missed.
Nice selection. The Sparrows Ranger set with the addition of TOK tensioners, decoder and warded lock keys would probably do the job nicely. I have the Ranger case on order to build just such a kit out of EOD full kit, spare picks, rakes and shims.
Love it Bill!
Good one ! Very well thought out !
Thank you
Love the concept, good work
I'd love to see any other videos on other kits you would put together for beginner, intermediate and expert pickers
I actually learned on the jack knife style kit and yes they get the job don’t but are a pain...accessed many padlocks and houses (retired police) lol. Would love one of these kits
Appreciate your information 👍. Love your videos 😍
Very well done. Just what I was looking for, starter set, nothing extra, low skill level required. Confirms what I pieced together watching many other vids. Thanks.
Great vid! I like that you do some good and some bad items
First time watching one of your videos, Bill. I was familiar with your work from hearing you mentioned on LPL's channel and the custom disc detainer tools you've worked on with him. This was an EXCELLENT video. Looks like I can put together a very lean lock kit together for my emergency get home bag.
I think the comb picks would be a good addition.
I feel like I just got a month's worth of education in 15 minutes! Outstanding video! I follow lockpicking because 1. I want to know the most secure locks to get based on my application and 2. What if I'm in an emergency situation where picking a lock is required? You answered 2 brilliantly. I feel a little more secure with this knowledge. Sincere thanks! :-)
Nice works. Sir.
In specific reply to the video I keep a sparrows kit with extras in my cargo pocket (I wear Duluth work pants and the kit fits with room to spare)with Klein folding linesman pliers that have screwdrivers and a knife, and the folding lock picks in my pocket so i can be a little more discreet at times.
Thanks for the educational video and advice.
Bill, As far as a electric guns, I made one with a Oral-B humming bird flosser by wiring a 9v battery lead to it. It is extremely compact and very effective. I know you mentioned batteries could be an issue, but at least this addresses the size issue. BTW.. really enjoy your videos.
Very good that you put a number of TOK wrenches in the kit.
You are correct to say preppers are a very different from lock sporters. Most would go straight from by-pass tools to destructive force rather than attempt to pick a lock. That is assuming they are not already experienced single pin pickers.
You should make a kit like this. I would make an option to buy a small variety of bump keys and/or the jack knife pick set. As a prepper that knows about lock picking I would love to have this kit
WOW fire on the low floor need to get out scenario makes a whole lot of sense actually.
Awesome job thanks
Wow great video thanks
That would be a great kit to put together and sell. I’d buy one.
Nice video, thank you!
Thanks
this is good selection, I would add two things though - 1-2 combs for fast, low-key padlock entry and a quad key for outdoor water fixtures. Maybe the latter was omitted because it's not actually a lock bypass, but if you are out of the house during a disaster, they're a lifesaver, because so many urban landlords lock outside water sources by default.
Agreed, but you'll also need tubular picks as many wall-mount sillcocks now hide behind close-fitting recessed doors secured by tubular locks which cannot be easily forced. There's also a few new security sillcocks the old square keys don't fit, but there's enough older ones around so that a 4-way key will probably get you water with some looking around. Also seeing a lot more tubular locks in consumer use now too. As the game advances so must your tools and skills.
@@P_RO_ This is a sold point, and I do see in particular this one model of woodford box that is a really good product but I was trying not to ruin the size/weight of the kit too much more and also not add anything that would wear out.
