  • @Viperbird17
    @Viperbird17 8 лет назад +587

    I am a locksmith, and most of what you said is correct. My only gripe is the way you used your tension tool, it covers up the keyhole and this is going to make picking hard and cramped. try turning it upside down to how you had it, or use top of the keyway tension. Bouncing the tension tool is also not proper but sometimes on easier locks it does work. Once you hit a schlage with spool pins you might run into trouble with the way you are tensioning. Cheers and happy picking.

    That technique will work on some locks and even a few with security pins but there's an awful lot of locks that will just not work on. You need to turn the tension wrench round so it's at the bottom and not almost obstructing the keyway.

    This takes me back to elementary when I picked a lock with a paper clip to get to some skittles.
    I missed an important test and was sent to some kind of lounge next door to take it privately ''without supervision''. In that lounge were vending machines, coffee makers, a television, comfy chairs, and the famed candy closet. I finished the test early and found a dish full of paper clips and decided to try out some lock-picking like I'd seen in cartoons. I unwound the paper clip and stuck it in the hole and jammed it back and forth a few times and pointing it upwards in the lock every now and again and BAM it opened. Unfortunately I broke the lock and it wouldn't lock anymore, luckily I was never caught, though there was a school-wide lecture.

I'm sure picking a lock with a stick would be hard for experienced people, let alone some kid who has no experience at it.

    In many, if not most, states it is illegal to own lock picks unless you are law enforcement or a locksmith. My home state is such a state.

    • @artofmanliness

      Which state do you live in? Can you also reference the exact statute where it says it's illegal for civilians to own lock picks? Based on my research as long as you don't have the intent to burgle, then you're fine. See here: toool.us/laws.html

      Joseph Jones like if your hiding in the backseat of someone else's car with a set in your back pocket.
      90% of the law is INTENT, that means police officers that want to charge you with holding a lock pick set have the burden of proving you had intent to use it illegally. NTM how would ANYONE know you have a set on you?

    • @artofmanliness
      @artofmanliness  10 лет назад +14

      Joseph Jones Please point to specific state statutes that say this. Based on my research, there are only four states in the country where the possession of picks is prima facie case of criminal intent. Even then, the possessor can rebut by showing that they did not have criminal intentions. For the most part, as long as you're not trying to break into somebody else's property illegally, then having picks are fine.

      Get a pistol, a small .25, .22, .38. These are all made in small frames semi auto or revolver. They have little to no recoil. They do make compact pistols for 9mm and the like too if you want a bigger caliber but generally once someone starts receiving new holes they will run and a hole in the heart or brain from any gun will end the threat immediately. So don't feel under powered if you get a .22. Be sure and ask the people at the store for tips on how to hold and aim, where to practice near by and if they do gun safety and shooting classes.
