how to lockpick?

[raiden377]

can somebody show me the BEST lockpicking book / videos?
I really want to learn how to pick locks, but there are millions of books and videos on the internet that I don't know which I should trust.
So can somebody post a link or at least a title of a book/guide/videos to help me get started?

[Nemesix]

there are tons of videos on lockpicking and making your own set of lock picks on youtube

[crazy white guy]

you have to be specific. What are your goals in learning to lockpick?

theres a lot of possible things like home locks, industrial locks, commercial, bike locks, office locks ect. all have different techniques for picking

[raiden377]

how to pick residential, home locks
thats my main goal

[crazy white guy]

easy and fast ways.

-shotgun with large heavy slug
-pouch of thermite
-shaped charge
-bump key
-sledge hammer
-a 3mm credit card sized piece of hardened steel and a hammer (i can elaborate a bit more if needed)
- a set of picks and time
-a saw

most of those are loud but all of them work very well

[raiden377]

ahahahah
you really are a crazy white guy.....
i mean like lockpicking, nondestructive entry

Avoid Totse's Lock Picking guides; At all costs!


-shotgun with large heavy slug


It's not quite as simple as blowing the hinges off. And shaped charges and Thermite?


Raiden, the best Lock books cost. You are best to check out You Tube videos for the time.

[crazy white guy]

i just realized how stupid that i said was. shaped charges lol. anyways. if you takeout the deadbolt theres nothing to stop the door from opening. and its usually only helt in by wood.

...Dead on CWG.

And the thing is 80% of front doors in the United Kingdom are like that!

[crazy white guy]

i'd say thats true for canada too. 80% of doors could be opened as easily as that. and another 15 would only need s hot to the bolt and a gentle nudge.

I'll post the story tomorrow about me and my fathers 'adventure' trying to get into a room that was locked with a basic bolt that could be drilled out. The killer thing was my cat was stuck in the room...

Right now I have to crash...

BUMP KEYS FTW.

search "depth key" on fleabay to get a nice set...dont forget to shave the tips and if youre not in the us, make sure you get a set with appropriate keys.

[Th0r]

You can make the Bump keys.

But that does require you to be:

Bothered
Time
And you need a bit of cash...

Has anyone here got anything from ukbumkeys? If so how is their reliability? (ie delivery times and quality etc)

[Th0r]

I don't think so. However I advise you Search before posing a question like that.

[thief]

I did but "no matches" (sorry for the double post... I dont know how to delete that)

My friend bought from there, everything went fine.

Firstly you can't delete your own post since you don't have moderator privileges and secondly if you don't get a result due to an error with what you were searching try typing this into Google...

I don't know if you know that little trick or not but it's a useful way of getting around the vBulletin Search Engine restrictions.

Nice one. Thanks for the heads up.

You can get a TON of lockpicking ebooks and videos off torrent sites.

The Youtube might be able to help.

There's a Paladin Express eBook package containing a host of files on lockpicking.

[thief]

Yeah they are all fairly good... AND theory (books & vid's) is good but pratice makes perfect. :saevilw:

As the above posts state, there are thousands of books and videos out there.
However, for me, I found them quite useless. I had to have someone visually teach me, in front of me, I couldn't just read a book and try it.
If your stupid and don't have the brain capacity to translate what you read in a book to real life(much like me), befriend a locksmith. I've always found they're generally nice guys and willing to teach you their trade...eventually.

It all boils down to whether you are a Visual, Audio, or Kinesthetic learner and what sub category you fit into within those three.
