Hi. I'm Terry. In this video series, we're going to talk about locksmith pick guns. As a beginner locksmith and someone who's learning how to pick locks, just practice picking the various methods you've seen in my other videos. Pick guns are a little bit addicting because they do work and can pick the locks open. I have tried every manufacturer. Some of the pick guns last forever, some of them break right away, some of them are sealed units, some of them you can strip down and replace parts.
There are various manufacturers of the pick guns, Life LockAid and Majestic pick guns. Some are sealed units and others you can take apart. They're not expensive. The offshore pick guns, don't buy them, they are going to break. They won't even last a day. The pick guns are good for pick open Kwikset, Schlage, Weiser, something with a keyway where you can get the pick gun into.
They work basically by they bounce the pins. It's almost like bumping. They have to be has a free, so they can bounce and not grab and not get twisted. Do not twist the pick gun, you don't turn them, get them in there nicely, and we'll go over that.
I know Kwiksets are super easy to pick anyways, but sometimes you get a lock that giving you a little bit of trouble. Not all locks are 100% pickable. Even a Kwikset, if it's got a sticky pin or something wrong, it won't pick. Then you use out your other tools. You could go to a pick gun, you could go to electronic pick guns, the vibrating pick guns, right up to bump keys. Our final pick is the rotary pick. If you can't get it open, you drill it.
We are locksmiths, we have to be able to get through that door. It's a little bit different if you have a door where they don't care how much time and effort you have to pick it open with no signs of entry, different story. You try different tools, but as we're locksmiths, I only give it about 10 minutes tops. If I can't get it picked in any of the various methods, then I'll go to the rotary pick too. There's no shame in using the rotary pick. We are in business to make money, but this talk about the pick gun.
There are several manufacturers and they're very similar how they work. I have to admit I am a lock picker and not really a pick gun person but they do work and all it requires is practice.
The pick guns all have various tension from high and low. I always recommend going low tension to start. The interesting thing is I tend to like a very simple pick, just the straight pick. There are different angles, different leverage, some of them have wavy. All you really need is keep it simple and put it into the lock and you just got to get it nicely in there. It doesn't matter which manufacturer you use, they're all extremely very similar. You have the pick, I always like the straight pick, you have the trigger. This is the tension adjustment. It goes from low to high. Some of them say maximum. This one you can actually pull apart, replace pieces, fix it.
What I always do, I start it off on low tension to start with, and then when it's not picking, I just give it a try, then I adjust my tension. This one I would start off on low. Sometimes it picks. Again, light tension on your tension wrench, pull the trigger, just give it a couple turns, couple more tries. Again, some people like two clicks, I like three, you just got to use what you're used to. Keep on adjusting it until you open it.
If it doesn't open, going through this, then try another method. Bring out a bump key, or maybe you have to drill it. I like to use WD40. I like to go in from the top of the profile, let's adjust that. Light tension to start. I find it really important to be light tension, don't crank her, I know this is a Ridgid, but you could really crank these. There's no point in it. You're just going to bind everything. I like light tension. A locksmith should have gentle hands. Light tension, oops that was all ready to go.
The interesting point with a pick gun if you have a Y1 keyway like the Yale, some of the more complex profiles like European keyways you are not going to get the pick gun into the keyway and get a good hit at it, so that's the limitations of this style of pick gun. It doesn't do some of the Pancentric keyways. It's a little bit more difficult. Kwikset, Weiser, Schlage, absolutely fantastic and easy to pick.

The rotary pick.
That is priceless.
I have to be able to enter places quickly in an emergency. While i'm learning to pick locks, I purchased a pick gun for (leo based) entries because my local locksmith indicated to me it would be the quickest to learn to use on my own while taking his course on using picks. this video helped me learn to use it quickly, understand it's strengths and weaknesses, principles of operation, and start opening doors in my house for practice. much appreciated.
You dont have to be able to do anything prepper
Thank You. Amazing.
Where can we get one of those practice boards with locks? Thsnks!
Thanks for video sir !!
What is the tension adjustment actually doing? How does adjusting tension from high to low effect the picking processes? Isn’t the pick still just bouncing up and down? Does it matter how fast you’re firing the trigger?
Thanks for the assistance :)
Would you create a video for the top smart door lock? Would really appreciate it. Thanks
not low tension Terry its low or high travel....the pick gun gives no tension at all,you still need to tension,i know you are a great locksmith and a picker,love the videos,but i do not wish you to say tension from a pick gun,its the amount of travel the pick movesw,thanks Mal in Richmond,cheers.
MR. Locksmith Review the Kronos electric pick
de bogota ,como puedo hacer cambio de guardas cerradura
jawall gracias
Would this be good for automotive use I'm in towing and recovery and recovery a lot of various older an new cars can this be used for ignition as well ? And what would you recommend for best use in automotive?
Lishi Picks
If you were going to recommend a brand which one would you. Or should I say if your pick broke which one would you replace it with? One other question can you pick a abloy lock? Which tool you you suggest to do it?
On a budget: Schlage B560 or B660 Deadbolt with the C123 or S123 Keyway (hard to pick and a great deadbolt).
The Best: Abloy Protec2 Deadbolt. On my house. No known Covert defeats.
Lock Pick Gun: LockAid, Majestic. Get a pick gun with a Lifetime Guarantee. Avoid Chinese made.
Great video. So I am guessing this should work well on trunk lock on a 56 DeSoto? I imagine that is a wildly simple lock.
I would not recommend using a pick gun on car locks :-)
@@24hrMrLocksmith well too bad I do not know how to pick locks :(
@@shrug53 Jiggle keys may be your friend with a car lock, have a look at CZcams videos. You can buy jiggle keys from Amazon and eBay.
@@24hrMrLocksmith would recommend for a bank vault lol
Nice veto bag in the backround
The pick gun you suggest in your Amazon link is it a cheap china knock ,if so have you used it with sucessful lock openings and is it built to last?
beachbums2008 owwww, the link to the $8 pick gun is a mistake. Removing it now. I will post a link later. I like the Majestic pick gun $40-$55 US
Well i ordered the pick gun 2 days ago you had posted on your link for amazon and i hope its not a junk china knock-off.
Next time be careful on what you post as far as recommendation on the products your video's represent!!!
Hope i just didn't wast my hard earned retirement money on a junk product you reccomend!!!!!
I have not received the gun yet.
Not to arrive for my use until 11-12-2019 through 12-7-2019 estimated time for delivery.
Cant cancel order,to late to do that.
beachbums2008 Anything purchased on Amazon can be returned.
beachbums2008 If you had listened to my video I don’t recommend any picks or pick guns from China.
When I was in college I became a Locksmith while working on my ASE Master Automotive Technician program for a degree in Applied Science. Honestly I can hand pick a lock in under few seconds but never really got the hang of lock pick guns or needed one. Recently I bought one but I can barely use it. It’s so much easier quicker and natural for me to pick by hand. For instance my dad locked himself out of his car and accidentally left the keys inside so he called me. After I showed up he couldn’t believe how quickly I had picked the door wafer lock. But I just can’t seem to get this clunky gun to work easily or nearly as quickly as picking by hand in just a few quick seconds. What am I missing?
I am not a fan of the pick gun.
@@24hrMrLocksmith I have to agree with you my friend!
I have a fireproof consul safe I lost the combination and can't find any manufacturer contact is there anyway I can open it?
MCDrinkinTea drop it on a corner, most boxes have weak points you'll open permanently if you drop it from shoulder height onto concrete directly on a corner of the box
Try some C4 , that will work.
Hire a locksmith. Most safes are very doable for a professional.
Saw this comment and see its been 5 years you ever get it open
@@ivan_says_hi Found the same thing applied for my ex....
is it possible to open a hu66 lock with a lock pick gun?
gggg use Lishi picks for automotive locks.
no
can you open the yale safety box?
Anything that is locked can be opened.
Maybe that is why I had no luck, I bought the cheapest one from China I could find.
(To be clear, yes, China DOES sell high quality stuff, but China also ALLOWS you to buy far below retail price on things, with poor quality control and cheaper materials, which is perfectly fine for some things, especially if you aren't sure you want to own a quality item and pay a lot for it, because you may never use it. I like to think of "Cheap China Junk" as buying cheap working prototypes. I find using those type of products for that purpose, incredibly useful.).
Please say "offshore" pick guns NOT China pick guns.
@@MrRusell86 Because it's RACIST!!!! Same reason why we can't say China Flu.
@@shoesole1873 If the product is coming from China, what is wrong in providing accurate information. Using the term "Offshore" for something that is known to be coming from China is being deceptive for no reason, and that is what you are demanding to be done.
Can confirm..bought a China one and it bent to shit!
Please try to pick a Bowley lock.
Great video
Does the pick have to clear all pins before pressing the trigger?
Push in and feel the last pin, get the pick to hit all pins simultaneously. Opened many padlocks and euro door locks too. Tension is key
Where cam i buy one tho
Amazon.
I enjoyed this talk
lol @ "rotary pick" :)
Is that code for something not easily understood?
Just a little joke. By "rotary pick" he means a drill. :)
What if the lock is upside down does the pick gun still work?
justin martin yes just turn the pick gun upside down or get a curved pick and put it on backwards
Mo
Ill walk into the dark
How much do people pay for you to unlock their homes?
Takes too long to get to what the title promises.
Too much talk before the actual information
Over three minutes in and actually no tutorial on how to use the gun, I'll be fair and watch the whole thing this so far it's ridiculous.
Make a separate video about the differences between brands and your childhood if you like, but we aren't here for that.
We're here to be educated on a specific topic.
Relax. It's his video. You aren't paying for it. He doesn't owe you a video in any particular format. Don't like it? Find a different one. There are lots out there.
Fast forward
I'm pretty sure the talking is for his subscribers
It sounds like you need to watch a tutorial on how to use the fast forward and video advance options available on EVERY youtube video. If you aren't smart enough to figure that out, you are wasting your time trying to learn something like lock picking anyways.
Would appreciate if you'd get straight to the point and not talk about your childhood stories
This guy just rambles with no skills taught. Don't waste your time
