How to Pick a Lock (Basics) 🔓

- This video explores the mechanics of pin-tumbler locks and demonstrates the process of opening them using lockpicks. It is a fairly basic view of lock picking, but I wanted to make it comprehensive to give people a good idea of the concepts. It also establishes a base for beginners in lock picking, helping them better understand how a lock functions and how one can exploit it. The pin-tumbler is a ubiquitous lock mechanism that uses pins of varying lengths to prevent the lock from opening without the correct key. Most locks around the home or office are simple pin-and-tumbler and can be relatively easy to open using a pick and a tension wrench.

While the process is simple and can be mastered with practice, picking such a lock requires great patience. It can be a hobby as well as a practical skill. Locksmiths define lock-picking as manipulating a lock's components to open a lock without a key. To understand lock picking, you must first know how locks and keys work. Most locks rely on somewhat similar concepts, but they vary widely in shape and size, featuring numerous design variations. As this is to cover the basics, I don't review security pins or more advanced techniques. This video is for educational purposes only.

The diagrams and information on pin-tumbler locks: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_tum...
Locksmiths employ the art of lockpicking to unlock a lock by analyzing and manipulating the components of the lock device without the original key. Additionally, proficient lock pickers should avoid causing damage to the lock itself, enabling them to rekey it for subsequent use. This is particularly crucial when dealing with antique locks that would be irreplaceable if one employed destructive entry methods. Although some may associate lock picking with criminal intent, locksmiths consider it an essential skill. Law-abiding citizens often pursue it as a valuable learning skill or a hobby. The transition to using combination locks for high-security items like safes aimed to eliminate the keyhole, which experts recognize as the weakest component of the lock.

Right on ... I learned to pick locks when I was a kid... My uncle taught me so I would learn patience. Never used it for illegal activities but I have used the skill countless times in emergency situations... this is always good to know...
Great Vidoes. Keep them coming.
You don't have to be a criminal to appreciate the art of lock picking. It is a potentially life saving survival skill. Imagine you are in a burning building and a lock was what was between you and escape. Lock picking was a standard skill of the historical ninja. Just like with martial arts it depends on the intentions of the user whether the knowledge is good or evil. Heroes like James Bond and MacGuyer have been shown to use lock picking to save theirs or some else's lives. Just because one wants to learn this skill doe not make them a criminal any more that one learning martial arts means they go around beating people up. Most people have never been in a fight, but would like to know how to defend themselves if they had no other option.
yeah ok i'm using this to rob my neighbors

Guys, you probably won’t get it the first time around, but keep trying. Practice, in addition to trial and error and finding what YOU especially are comfortable doing when picking a lock are two things you need to consider. I just opened a door for a neighbor who got locked out today, and I feel good. This skill can be very rewarding, so persevere.

Been practicing for a few weeks now and I'm getting better. Next week I'm planning on "adventuring" to my old abandoned school
5 years ago…
Important skill to have.
One time, years ago, I left my wallet in a friend's apartment. They had travelled away and I was about to get on a plane too in a few hours and really needed my wallet and ID!
Thankfully a friend of mine knew how to pick locks and I could go in and for my wallet and that saved the day. Ever since then I've been telling myself to learn this stuff. Finally here I am. Great vid, thanks, now I just need them tools and a lock to practice
How is it going?

Good guide, helped in Fallout 4
Skyrim too :3

There is a great lockpick simulator called Oblivion for all you new lock pickers.
It also comes free with an incredible open world RPG game, but you'd never be interested in that :)
A.K.A. Breaking and entering simulator.
yeah bro , oblivion make you run all the map for open a door
better than Skyrim
Caleb Fury Oblivion was way better than skyrim much more realism.
This helped me a lot, thank you very much!
Plus, Now that I learned, lockpicking is a lot easier than expected (at least on basic levels obviously!)
It took just about a minute to pick a lock with the 3 peak rake
Are you using any perks because this seems easy for you....
The lock he uses to show you how its done is a training lock for beginners. its quite easy to open. also he seems to have a lot of expirience. There are no tricks behind this.
when creating his character, he put all his points into lock picking
Lockpicking skills maxed. Gates of Oblivion have been hacked.
+Mark Kalegaric more like got the skeleton key and isn't planning on returning it any time soon
I don't know why anyone would spend points in such a silly skill tree!
Pickpocketing increased to....oh wait this is lockpicking,wrong video
I can pick any lock in under 2 minutes usually. I started picking locks for fun when I was about 12 or 13. It has come in pretty useful over the years.
I hoping to learn this so that the next time my mom forgets to pass my bro and I the keys to the room and goes out for a meeting, we won't have to be stuck in the living room
Use a bump key its faster

It's worth pointing out you need the slimmest tension wrench you can get away with.
(The width that fits the keyway, usually something like 5mm)
Just 1mm or 2mm often means the difference between picking a lock or failing.
You need that fraction more to give the pick more manouvreability.
If your picks are getting stuck and jamming either the pick or the tension wrench is too big and need filing or sanding down and you have no chance at all of picking a lock.
Perfect perfect perfect! I just got the exact same see-through plastic lock today and I had it open twenty seconds after watching your video. Thank you!
Thanks man this helped a lot. My first break in went well❤
Thanks for this! I always keep lock picks in my bag in case I ever forget my key and get locked out the house, tried picking my lock yesterday and this lady freaked out on me trying to call the cops until she knew I lived there, I called my father who she knew and then she calmed down but still felt the need to say I shouldn't use lock picks even if it's my home regardless.....like wtf? You're telling me if you got locked out you would just sit outside for hours instead of using a set of lock picks you conveniently have for moments like this? people are fucking idiots
I just lost my job so this video was really helpful. Thanks a million!
Hopefully, you “started your own business.”
@@metalhead8646 "started his own business" with some "help" on the way
My favorite type of pick are the short hooks. I find it straightforward and it's not as excessive as raking.
Thank you veery much ! I often misplace my keys and end up hacksawing & buying another new lock. This has definite saved me time and money as it allows me time to look for my lost keys after getting into my house.Very educational, bro. Bless ya !
i bought a genesis starter kit just yesterday and i already knew the very basic basics, but this short video helped explain to me how to use tension!
This is the best lock picking education video i've seen so far.
I've always used raking with a hook type pick. Got pretty good at it, but I never used the pick with multiple spikes. I might be even faster with that! I actually have a bunch of picks but I always go for hook for some reason. Thanks for the video
do you remember writing this? its been 7 years.
and you 2 weeks @@finnmartin8160

Excellent video,subscribed!!
I got my interest in lockpicking because I was bored and had two padlocks in front of me that were locked and the keys were long gone,so I tried to open one with a very unorthodox technique,without any picking tools,just a slice of metal from a 7UP and a a pair of scisors,and when it opened it felt so good that I got hooked!!
The second one I picked it with a bit of luck and some imagination,I didn't know what the tensioner was for and I didn't have one ofc,so I picked it with a piece of metal the size of a paper clip,apparently what I done was a bypass pick,it took me at least a couple of hours but it payed up,now I'm really into it,and I'm trying to make my own picks!! :) It is an excellent hobby!!
Oblivion has taught me well with this reinforcing my knowledge of picking locks
lock picking has been a hobby and working towards becoming a lock Smith. good video to help explain the basics
For the 3rd method... can you attach your lock-pick to some sort of push-pull that vibrates ? - essentially, you will have a gadget that actuates your lock -pick back and forth, - the same you do with your hand. A turning wrench can be a part of the gadget. The gadget can be battery-powered. You insert it into a lock, let it vibrate (to exercise the method #3), and the only thing for you to do is to apply slight pressure to the "wrench". Hey, with modern computers (micro-chips) you can even record the amplitude and frequency of oscillations that helped to lock-pick a given lock, associate it with an input that characterizes the lock (by maker and model number), and the next time when you see the same lock, you simply revoke the most-fastest-to-lock-pick regime from the gadget memory. This lock-pick can be apart of your iPhone (e.g. a USB driven plug-in gadget), that is equipped with some app, that memorizes the lock-picking regime (for each lock model you opened).
I got a lockpicking kit for Christmas and it didn't come with instructions, so this video helped a TON! Thanks!
Picked my practice lock in 5 minutes and a proper padlock in 6. Picks from lockcowboy and watching this vid! So fun

+Галин Дончев These are the basics from the seventies or so. Nowadays they make locks that have special features very hard to pick, good luck :)
Galin Plamenov No, it’s not. Robbing someone always has ill intent but lock-picking can be a hobby or can be used for good like white hat hackers in the computer world. Lock picking is challenging and also can improve cognitive function.
@@Zhak7 ehh most doors don't have anything more special than this
So interesting! I never had given much thought!
As an author, i always need to know quirky things like this.
Dude I tried doing the single pin thing and the second I tried raking it worked. Thanks so much.
Reminds me very much of using brute force in hacking. Literally throwing processing power to break encryption in a random period of time.
That is exactly the same principle - hit it enought times and you are bound to get the right sequence.
