Can you pick a lock?

Seems like a pretty good skill to have. I'm going to try and learn how. All you need is a tension wrench and a paper clip.

Depends on the lock. If it's a padlock then my method is bolt cutters. I'd love to learn how to do it actually. Seems pretty handy during those losing you keys moments.

Sure.

Nope, but my cousin is a master at it.

Yeah I posted a few times recently that's it's a skill I picked up, simply from the Internet, never did a locksmith course or nothing.Just practice on Yale locks using a paper clip and a small screwdriver that I got from inside a christmas cracker.

reminded me of what happened to me when i was a kid,there was a day when i had lost my keys and my mom wasn't home either,i was standing at the door crying my eyes out when this old woman showed up and told me to back off,i stood back and she just stared at the door for a while and made it open!!she then left without saying anymore words,it didn't scare me as a kid the way it scares me now though.well i guess she was a good wizard after all,eh?

My brother showed me how to pick a few different types of locks.

I use to pick locks when I was younger. I could pick just aboutanything. My parents bought a safe and I figured out how to pick it.

The best I could ever do was three tumblers. Never had professional training though.

Why pick a lock when you can c4 it.F22_King_Raptor

or you can just shoot it

I can pick cheap locks (but so can anyone).

No, but I can pick my nose.

I'm trying to learn.

My skill level is 47 as of now.

The last time I picked a lock was last summer with a kitchen knife. I was surprised I actually did it.

Well when I was a kid, I went to my cousin's room to borrow some video games but the door was locked. I wanted to play video games badly so I used a hairpin to pick the lock and then the door open and walked in on my cousin and his gf getting busy:|.....

Dunno if I could still do that:P

depends on the lock, but in general yes.

i haven't done it in a while.. but i'm sure i still can

My average is about 27 seconds.

I never tried to pick a lock.

Never tried
