So you want to be a criminal? Well, if you are wanting to be
|
|
like james bond and open a lock in fifteen seconds, go to
|
|
Hollywood because that's the only place your gonna do it. Even
|
|
experienced locksmiths can spend 5 to 10 minutes on a lock if
|
|
they're lucky. If you are looking for extremely quick access,
|
|
look elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
The following instructions will pertain mostly to the "Lock-In-
|
|
Knob" type lock, since it is the easiest to pick. If there is
|
|
sufficient demand, I will later write a file discussing the other
|
|
forms of entrance, including Dead-Bolt.
|
|
|
|
First of all, you need a pick set. If you know a locksmith, get
|
|
him to make you a set. This will be the best possible set for you
|
|
to use. If you don't find a locksmith willing to supply a set,
|
|
don't give up hope; it is possible to make your own, if you have
|
|
access to a grinder (you can use a file, but it takes forever.)
|
|
|
|
The thing you need is an Allen wrench set (very small). These
|
|
should be small enough to fit into the keyhole slot. Now, bend
|
|
the long end of the Allen wrench at a slight angle..(NOT 90 DEG.)
|
|
it should look something like this:
|
|
|
|
#1
|
|
\\
|
|
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ (THIS IS THE
|
|
\\\ HANDLE THAT WAS
|
|
\\\ ALREADY HERE)
|
|
\\\
|
|
\\\
|
|
\\\
|
|
|
|
Now, take your pick to a grinder or a file and smooth the end
|
|
(#1) until it's rounded so it won't hang inside the lock. Test
|
|
your tool out on doorknobs at your house to see if it will slide
|
|
in and out smoothly. Now, this is where the screwdriver comes
|
|
in. Is it small enough for it and your pick to be used in the
|
|
same lock at the same time, one above the other ? Let's hope so,
|
|
because that's the only way your gonna open it.
|
|
|
|
In the coming instructions, please refer to this chart of the
|
|
interior of a lock:
|

|
#= Upper Tumler Pin
|
|
*= Lower Tumler Pin
|
|
X= Cylinder Wall
|
|
|
|
(Note that the above is a greatly simplified drawing)
|
|
|
|
The object is to press the pin up so that the space between the
|
|
upper pin and the lower pin is level with the cylinder wall.
|
|
Now, if you push a pin up, it's tendency is to fall back down, right? That's why
|
|
the screwdriver's in! Insert the screwdriver into the slot and turn. This
|
|
tension will keep the "SOLVED" pins from falling back down. Now, work from the
|
|
back of the lock to the front, and when you're through.....
|
|
|
|
There will be a click, the screwdriver will turn freely, and
|
|
the door will open. Don't get discourage on your first try! It
|
|
will probably take you about 20-30 minutes your first time.
|
|
After that you will quickly improve with practice.
|
|
|
|
This is by no means *THE* most efficient way of entering a
|
|
house. If you would like another item or two devoted to these
|
|
other ways, let the sysop know.
