    This video is a review of many of the various techniques I have gone over on how to open locks. If you would like more info on each technique please see the links in the video.
    When you are faced with a lock that you need to get open quickly, open is open, and that is the priority. Raking and bumping are valued techniques, they can be quite reliable and even better they are very fast. Rake first and SPP second will help you get into locks much faster.
    Do not pick locks you do not own or locks that are in use.
    The addition of security pins can make raking and bumping more difficult but not impossible. There are many videos out there of people raking Schlage locks fully pinned with spools and even some people raking American Locks.
    Always understand the lock you are dealing with and try to formulate a logical approach. Exploit the weakest link in the security and you will be able to get in much faster. Do not forget that many padlocks can be shimmed and bypassed. There are many weaknesses in many security systems and the lock is not always it!

    Dude, this is an incredibly helpful video, especially the spool pins guide. Many people are like me, "stuck" on a lock that they _see_ bypassed with proficiency that's practically foreign to them. What makes this so helpful for me is how methodological you are _in practice._ Especially with the American lock, never backing up, no I would say the way you overcame the security pins is always an expected step (lateral progress anyway). I've been stuck on that lock since dropping the practice several months ago, but damn, tonight I picked my American lock *first try* after watching this. It's your approach, your confidence that did it! I had just assumed until I learned to never pick a false set I wasn't going to bypass that kind of lock security other than blind luck.
    So thanks, good sir knight!

Haha.☹🤦‍♂️ I'm very efficient at most anything I try. But lock picking is completely foreign to me and I think I'm getting worse. . I've watched 100s of videos.

      Generally you can tell which direction to turn a locked lock by feeling which direction has the most "mush" or furthest turning angle when u apply pressure, i use this technique and it hasn't failed me yet! (Like idk 5 or 6 basic locks)

      My mouth felt open too see that you crack them so easily. Well here we have mostly German / Swedish or UK lockwork. I myself work in the construction and I wanna secure my tools and goods and I was wondering witch kind of lock would do the job. But when I saw you picking them I thought to myself " I hope them thieves are dumb and don't know this knowledge " but I consider that naive... what about these: www.veiligheids-sloten.nl/M-C_Color_pro_4x?gclid=CjwKCAiAj53SBRBcEiwAT-3A2BVY7vBcyg2yG7NeQd9Epy84aXPN4idzDl-aiXNnMZWjtA_9fPzBsRoCIxUQAvD_BwE they consider these as top notch stuff. And I acutely think that even you can't crack them ;)

    • @HelpfulLockPicker
      @HelpfulLockPicker  Před 6 lety

      14TK Longshot I can't read it but are those just dimple locks? They shouldn't be too hard.
      You always want physical resistance more than pick resistance. Picking a lock in the field is much harder than at a desk. Also, most criminals do destructive entry because it is fast and takes no skill. You should be good with most locks. Adding security pins help prevent raking and bumping

    Master:
    thank you for your terrific teaching. I am a begginner and I am still to study carefully all the videos, but I am impatient to solve something because I am practicing with a "real" lock in an abandoned house and is exciting, dont worry no crime involved. Pardon me everyone because probably is the dumb question of the month.
    I succeded in turning the cylinder by single pin picking, but when I went half turn, i.e. when the key hole got upside down as it were, it blocks in there, and I am stuck, dont know what to do, the door is not yet open, you know is normal you have to go a couple of turns before the bolt clears. How to understand this and overcome it? Thank you man you're awesome.

    There's a small exception to the direction in which you should turn a deadbolt - Kwikset 816 Series Tenant/Landlord locks have two cores, one on top and one on bottom. The landlord core needs to be turned toward the frame to unlock it because it's on the opposite side of the bolt.

    • @HelpfulLockPicker
      @HelpfulLockPicker  Před 5 lety +1

      They key bitting has not made a huge difference for me but when you make your bump key all the cuts need to be at the maximal depth going across. Key bitting in theory can make it harder but I have not ran into that too much,

    I have a few tucked up inserts and I do not advise you with tweezers, I know that tweezers with tweezers are inserted using only tweezers with springs - one from the side of the carrier, one is inserted in metal for blocking each bottom pin, then put in the drum and attach it with omega or o-ring (forgive my very bad english)

    Wish I would have found this forever ago.
    I wish I knew about the plug spinner in particular. I work for property management and I’m constantly picking door knobs the wrong way.
    I’m also still learning about bump key technique.
    Is there a plug spinner you can recommend? (Place to purchase)

      It depends on your budget. The one from Peterson is good but expensive. Search for "GOSO Plug Spinner" that should be the cheaper option

    If i have a deadbolt and it is on the right side which way do I need to turn the lock (clockwise or counterclockwise). Is there any difference between deadbolts and and locks in handsets? Thanks.

    • @HelpfulLockPicker
      @HelpfulLockPicker  Před 5 lety +2

      Deadbolts always unlock in the direction that is turning away from the door frame. If you ever did it the wrong way you could always consider using a plug spinner to fix it so you would not have to pick it again.

    I had to older quickset deadbolts.
    And I tried raking and single pin settings. And had absolutely no luck. I’m usually OK with locked knobs. But deadbolts always throw me. How much pressure should I be applying or holding on the turn.
    Please and thank you

    • @HelpfulLockPicker
      @HelpfulLockPicker  Před 6 lety +1

      you do not want to pick a lock in use or one that you do not own. However, the problem with deadbolts is it actually takes a good amount of force to throw or retract the bolt once the lock is picked. It can make tensioning them tricky. Another thing they make difficult is using a plug spinner.
      If you are single pin picking try more tension they likely have at most 2 spools. If you are raking try a little less tension. Another thing you can do is try to add some lubricant like lock Houdini on older locks that can go a long way.

      If raking I almost always use bottom of keyway and single pin picking I try top of keyway first.
