How to Pick a Lock With Hairpins

  • Lock picking is as old as locks themselves, and is enjoyed as a hobby and practical skill worldwide. While it has been tainted in many people's minds as something only done by criminals, it is in fact a skill that could very well save your life if kidnapped, as well as saving hundreds of dollars in locksmithing costs to open things for which the key has been lost. Criminals and thieves are far more likely to break a window and in other ways use force to open things rather than trouble with the delicate, and many times lengthy method of picking.
    Practice locks can be purchased here (this is an affiliate link): ebay.to/1KVqCuU
    Practice locks such as the one used in this video can be found for sale online with little searching, but all that is really necessary to practice is a simple padlock. Practicing lock picking should only be done on a lock that is not essential to some purpose, as it is possible to damage a lock if done incorrectly. It of course should also not be done on a lock that does not belong to you, as doing so is likely illegal.

    • @Nighthawkinlight
      @Nighthawkinlight  6 лет назад +11

      Be gentle and do not break a hairpin off in the lock and it will not damage anything. It takes only light pressure to do this.

    I used to work at a bank. When my boss was first showing me around he pointed out some filing cabinets and I almost told him how easy it is to pick the locks on those things. Fortunately, I realized soon enough that you probably don't want to tell your new boss about some of the skills you've picked up 😉

    • @cymond
      @cymond Год назад +297

      I worked at an accounting firm. While moving things around, the keys to one of the filing cabinets went missing.
      I looked at the mechanism in one of the unlocked cabinets, and realized I could just lift the locking bar with a ruler.
      My boss was not happy. He actually believed they were secure storage containers, despite the thin sheet metal and cheap locks.

    • @blindleader42
      @blindleader42 Год назад +15

      Richard Feynman famously (within a certain sub culture) was deemed a security risk at Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project, when he demonstrated the same skill on filing cabinets containing classified documents. Of course he was already cleared to view said documents, but just taught himself lock picking to ease the boredom of living isolated from civilization in the middle of the desert. He was the most interesting scientist of the 20th century.

Now with the context of the tension applied to it and the seized pin being the only one you should move I feel like I get the theory. Thank you for the clarity.

    When I got home this evening, my youngest daughter had locked the door to her room and then closed it. So nobody was in the room but the door was locked. I tried several things for a while. I was also contemplating buying a lock picking kit on Amazon. Then I came to think of RUclips and the first video I watched was this one. I made the tools and after five minutes I was able to open the lock! What a hack! I'm really proud of myself. The lock I had was like yours but upside down. Thanks a million for making this video!

No half-hour meaningless face time; no stupid camera work; no rambling. I HATE having to suffer through someone's childish attempts to be noticed. Why would someone produce something like this for free? I understood how and WHY in no time. I respect the producer.

    I did this cuz the door locked behind me as I was moving in, and all I had left was hair pins from my car. No phone. No car keys. Both were inside. Nothing but the hairpins. It was deadass of summer and it was humid so I said “fuck it, I’ll be out here picking the lock until it opens or my landlord comes” (he gets back from work around 6, it was about 4 pm)
    I bent the hair pins and basically listened while jostling the lock. After like three minutes it worked??

      Just tried this on my apartment door, Broke three lever pins so far. Gave up. My lock has a feature for the key that makes it impossible to get the pick to go in a certain way because the width of the pick is just a little to wide to put it in normally so i had to try it with the pick turned diagonally and sideways. Impossible to a beginner and only attemptable by a novice with a professional lock pick set

      Amazon Virza Clearly you appear to be a little bent in your assessment, and your response is indicative of a person that lacks a since of humor. God bless you Amazon, also please know that your assumptions of my age and my character is purely and exercise in futility!

    That was the most clear explanation possible. I am pretty sure that I could pull it off now, if I try.
    ...but I wonder if most locks use five tumblers.

      That was also my first question and surprisingly, I found out that yes, most locks actually use 5 tumblers.
