@@HelpfulLockPicker WOULD HAVE LIKED TO SEE A VIEW FROM THE OTHER SIDE ALSO
@@paulricelli5520 it's the exact same look. And why are you typing in all caps like a tool?
@@ironnads7975 IT'S SO A$$HOLES LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE TO SQUINT
When I was a kid my Dad gave me an old heavy padlock to play with in the hopes I would learn something while I figured how to open it, since he'd lost the keys many years ago. I had free roaming rights in his workshop, and he gave me some basic insight into the workings of padlocks, so with the aid of some 1/16" piano wire, pliers and a set of warding files, I managed it. I still have that padlock and the piece of piano wire, 64 years later.
That is cool thanks for sharing
Loved hearing your story!
timeless!
That's a wonderful heart warming story. Your father sounds like a great dad to a great son. Some special things we never forget and always treasure.
Thanks so much for my new bike ❤️
LOL
MIMCK Media blue face would say. Yeah aight, more like you wasted 15 min of your life trying to be low key and end up locked instead of lock pick

zipping looks easy
@@commentfreely5443 It can be but it doesn't always work
@@HelpfulLockPicker that's along the lines of my question. I was thinking, why wouldn't someone just always use zipping, rocking or raking? And what would cause any one of those to not work?
@@tommyv5435 raking, rock, zipping, and lock bumping can be defeated by better tolerances, good key bitting, security pins, etc. These techniques are a great first approach but single pin picking is what you will need once you get to better security locks
Thank you so much for all information. I just got drop out from hugh school and was so worried about my future.
Thanks for checking it out!
Oh boy
Thank you for this most informative video. I have just ordered a dog. A large one.
that sounds like a pretty good idea
Dogs are stupid and very easily poisoned.
How about hiring Tony Martin as night watchman?
@@HelpfulLockPicker ,
Dogs get locked in the bathroom with a little piece of steak. Just get really good insurance and you'll probably come out ahead.
Between watching your videos, LPL's, and a few other ones, it's makes me realize that "secure" is such a relative word. Most ads for locks are for the people who don't know any better and want to feel good. Very eye opening! Thanks!!
Thanks for sharing! The more you get into locks many perspectives may start to change
Many so called “secure “ locks are a joke.
I don't know how many times I watch those secret agents on TV as a child and tried opening door locks with a paperclip or a metal nail file. Later in life I had a general understand of how locks worked, but your video totally explains everything I never knew about lock picking. I just have one question. I am 61 now. Do you think it is too late for me to start a life of crime, or should I just stick to sitting in my recliner eating chips and my diet Coke and watch James Bond do it on TV? :) Thanks again. God bless. James
I would just pick locks at home. There are plenty of people in the community that are your age.
Thaks for checking out the video!
What the heck. Get out there and give it a go!
@@kentmerrill8925 thats right give it a go....if you get caught you blame dementia or any other old age foibles and get away with it :o)
If you have the inclination to start a life of crime, remember you need more lessons on how to bypass CCTV, subdue the dog, and also run away quickly (@61 that is). Just understanding how to pick locks is just half the story. You better be at home eating chips, and not in jail. lol. I have seen people tampering energy meters but their expertise lay in getting through the paper void seals, not just the electricals.

Thank you so much, I love watching the Lock Picking Lawyer's videos but he never tells us how to actually do this!! At least now I feel like I'll know what's happening a bit more, thank you!!!
Thank you for the kind words and I am glad the videos help you understand more!
The absolute best standard 6 pin lock picking video I've ever seen. Probably the best one in existence. Simple, very clear and visible, not too much talk and confusing words. It's very simple like a that kind of lock is. Lock picking only works as good as your understanding of the lock you're picking
Thank you for the kind words. If you are interested in learning more check out my Lock Picking Home School playlist it has some more in-depth info if you would like to take your skill set to the next level
Having watched quite a few lock picking videos on CZcams recently after being suggested a LPL video, this was really educational. I never knew what "binding" and "set" actually meant. Thank you.
Thanks for checking it out!
Wow, kind of scary how easy that is!
Jayme Fall When you open your first lock it is very eye-opening it changes your view on security. This may be one of the easiest locks to open but you would be surprised how easy common Master locks, kwiksets, and schlages are to open. Check out video 28 for examples.
HelpfulLockPicker This video made me interested in lockpicking arts, do you know where I can get such tools to learn this? (if possible in Europe)
There are plenty of options for people in Europe. I recommend you checkout www.reddit.com/r/lockpicking and check out their wiki.
Here is a link to their trusted sellers: www.reddit.com/r/lockpicking/wiki/index#wiki_trusted_sources
If you are looking for minimal investment www.banggood.com has some decent offerings the only problem is their tension wrenches are not great. These picks are okay but you might want to sand them down to make them thinner. They are 0.030 inch thick most picks are 0.020 to 0.025.

same thing happened to me when i opened my first lock - its amazing how little security we actually have. Locks are actually really old & maybe should be considered an outdated invention

Zipping (raking) was very useful at work when people turned up for their shift without their keys. I never did show anyone else how to do it. Now I'm retired, so I use actual keys to get into things.

Thank you for the kind words
A very good demonstration on how locks work. Thank you very much. May be I can now go and pick the drug dealer's lock on next street to locate the stuff he took from me. Joke aside, I realized that there is a "Master Key" option in my local hardware store. It is called a battery powered angle grinder. My garage was broken into despite being padlocked. So I went and bought an "unbreakable" padlock mad of toughened steel at three time the price of a normal lock. I went away and foolishly believed that my garage will be fine. When I came home, the entire lock was gone, and the garage was cleaned out comprehensively, again! This video will help me to break my own lock, but burglars will not bother with messing around. They would go for the "nuclear" option, ie. an angle grinder.
Angle grinders are a great tool lol
Indeed pretty clear instructions, giving us some actual insight and transparency to the Art of picking locks.

Old post, but had to mention the early Splinter Cell games had a perfect one that looked just as it should, with the different pins, using a pick with pressure on the wrench. It's been a long time since I seen it, but no other game has even come close.
I remember that, good times

Thanks for sharing! Luckily picking is probably less than 5% of a locksmith's job

Thanks for showing all the different techniques. I only knew about single pin and raking before this. Having said that you didn't mention bumping. Im trying to work out what im doing when I use a key that fits but wrong keying.. with a lil bit of tension to open a lock.. I think I tried all those techniques and found raking worked best
I didn't do bumping because at the time I did not want to take the time to make a bump key to that lock. I have found both bumping and raking to be very effective approaches.
Great video. It’s always good to see what’s going on inside there when you’re learning. Thanks.

Thank you for a very informative video, starting with a 'simple' lock. To all the 'expert' detractors (who don't seem to offer any instructional videos of any nature), it's such a shame we aren't ALL born experts. Yes, there are more complex locks available but some of us 'mere mortals' have to start with the basics and gradually build on that knowledge. It seems, by the detractors' theory, brain surgery should be taught on day-one of medical school - or perhaps kindergarten. It's very easy to deride - not so easy to be constructive and informative.

Makes me remember when I was a child and I wanted to get something from my parents’s room, which was locked while they were at work. I did not know how lockpicking worked and stuck a piece of wood in there, which broke inside.
I got in trouble.

@@HelpfulLockPicker also Im getting my pick set soon and I'm super excited! I'm just curious, if I push on a pin that isn't binding, what happens? Could that put it into a false gate if there is one, does nothing happen, or something else? Thanks!

Thank you for the kind words, I am glad it was helpful!
Thanks so much for teaching the whole world how to rob me blind.
Thanks for checking out the video. Luckily you need to be more worried about bolt cutters in reality which require less training
@@HelpfulLockPicker how would you open the door to my house with bolt cutters? haha
@@retsinim84 I 've worked in a few garages that had rather handy tools that would take the lock right out of your door with relative ease. If it's a steel door, the tools will take the cylinder out of the lock in about 5 seconds.
@@jpjpjp453 I was only joking. I think most house doors are a joke to begin with because they usually have Windows that can be broken to access the inside of the locks. If there are no windows someone could just brute force their way in. The lock is only on the door to make my wife feel better, haha.
Not for nothing, but locks are only made to keep honest people out.!
Wow,That’s how they opened my house.
Kebede Buna You don't want to pick locks in use but sadly many common locks open this easily. However, statistically speaking thieves don't pick locks. Are you interested in getting into Locksport?
@@HelpfulLockPicker I had a feeling you shouldn't pick locks in use, but I'm not exactly sure why. Why shouldn't you? That's actually the main reason a lot of us watch these lock picking Tut's, so we know how to get in when we're locked out or have forgotten our keys 😁 Though it's interesting to know there's such a thing as Locksport!
@@nattybynature1262 Kinda obvious that it's a rule of thumb just like any tool/skill that can be used for detrimental purposes... Take firearms for example... #1 rule is to never point a gun (loaded or unloaded) at another person. Of course, the main purpose of owning and learning how to use a gun is to do just that when the appropriate situation calls for it..

AND OOONN... drives me crazy i did skip a couple minutes of your video to get to part i wanted/needed to see but still i gotta say yours is best so far ive seen
Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad it helped!
Really cool to see the mechanics and understand how it works, but I I can't help but wonder how many criminals are watching this.
You can say that about a lot of different things, however, hopefully this will encourage lock manufactures to make more secure locks. They have the technology and ability but they don't do it
How do we know you're not a criminal? See how that works?
Sounds like something a criminal would say to make us think he's not a criminal. Stay where you are, I've alerted the police and they are on their way.
They already know, they learn this when inside.
I am criminal and now I got gifts for Christmas. Good thing Ring doorbells are only in the front door.
i pick lock with grinder i like your way
@Bill you ever actually try that bill? it depends what type of lock it is but that can be rather hard on some
That is not a bad approach
Awesome video, it will help inventors design better locks and allow people to test locks for 'unpickability'. Knowledge is the key.

Do a video on entering a bank vault.
I do not
Don't bother. Just access it from underneath. Of course you have to dig a tunnel and bust through some concrete and cut some rebar but that's much easier than trying to pick the vault. Also, no alarms underneath.

Nice Job! Clean to the point video!!
Thank you for the kind words! I am glad it helps :-)
How interesting! It left me wondering... Placing a strong magnet on the top of the lock would it atract the pins enough to open it?
Gustavo Chaves The pins usually aren't magnetic. Also most locks do not have as much room on the top to accommodate: keypin, driver pin, and spring. Check out my video [35] on how comb picks work for more info!
Ah. Thanks!
Use your noggin. The metal parts look like brass or some other non-ferrous metal.
As we all learned in elementary school science class, non-ferrous metals are not magnetic.
Even if the pins were subject to magnetism, it would require one massive magnet to combat linear spring force, while magnet will try to pull it in many different directions, including the perimeter of lock's metal body.
Brass is not magnetic
Awesome video! I should be able to break into a house more quietly now. The other video I watched didn't help, I ended up kicking the door open, too much noise, neighbor called cops. Just got out spending time after 3 years. Wish me luck!!
You should not pick locks in use and ones that you do not own but thank you for the kind words!
Where I can I find the how-to video for kicking in doors? I'm not very good at that either.
Anyone in your former (I hope) business should have know these skills and practiced them long before attempting what you said you did! Locks are only meant to keep honest people honest.
@@ModMINI : Don't try it. Use an axe. The last time I kicked a door in, I bruised my
heel and screwed up my ankle. I was hobbling around for a couple of weeks.
Yes because many homes are now locked with pad locks instead of dead bolts
Excellent video and VERY informative!
