I can pick a desk lock with 1 large and 1 small paper clip in ~5 minutes.  It's not all that hard just takes a little practice.

thats nothing! i can get into a desk lock in ten seconds using only a crowbar!

So I got home after taking a welcome break playing golf with a buddy.
And my wife shows me all the lock picking tools bent all to hell.

W T F !

I used those tools to show my daughter how to get into this "Magical Treasure Chest" I inherited.  Now they're %$&'ed.

Now I need a new set.  :badmood:
Y'know, ...nevermind.... :badmood:

There is a place online that shows you how to make lock picks out of a hacksaw blade. I made a few once upon a time and they worked very well. Also, use an allen wrench with a grinded down flat as a tensioner.

FYI, if you look into a lock and see that it uses flat pieces (I call it a wafer lock), then it is extremely easy to pick - you can just use paperclips. I personally suck at picking pin tumblers (normal locks). I've only successfully picked a regular lock a handful of times.

remember: Don't carry lockpicking equipment around with you, as it is considered a crime to even possess the equipment w/o a license in most states. Having said that, it is a handy skill/hobby and could come in very handy around the house.

I've never had it take more than about 45 seconds to drill a lock...?
