Why Should I Learn How To Pick Locks?
By Adam Tassone
Why would anyone ever want to learn how to pick a lock? Aren't only criminals and thieves the ones who would possibly want this skill? The answer is NO! Lock picking is a tremendously enjoyable past time and very practical as well.
Imagine the possibilities of being an expert lock picker. You would never have to worry about leaving your keys in your car, getting locked out of your house, or having to break down a door because you lost the key to that! People could rely on you to be able to open things for them, you would be a hero!
Well, maybe not a hero, but you see my point. The first step in beginning a lock picking hobby is to find an appropriate set of lock picks. Now you may break a few at first, this is why you want to start off with an affordable set. Find yourself a little master lock, like the ones you used to put on your locker in high school, and begin practicing.
Insert the tension wrench into your lock and then the pin.
Insert the pick and begin to press inside of the lock.
Feel the pins being pressed by the pick and ever so slightly wiggle your tension wrench. Eventually you will hear a click, and this means the lock is ready to be turned. Turn your tension wrench and voila! You have now successfully picked your first lock!
Don't worry about how long it takes you to pick your first lock, everyone has different skill levels. The best thing to do now is to just re pick your master lock over and over again until you can get it done almost instantly. Now it's time to move on to a new, harder lock.
Remember, lock picking can be considered a "nefarious activity" by some. So use common sense when picking any lock. The safest bet is to only pick locks that you yourself own, or you have the expressed consent of the owner of the lock to pick. If you are caught with your lock picking tools in a bad situation, you WILL be prosecuted by the full extent of the law. Basically, don't go out at night to with lock picking tools on you, it may be hard to prove that you weren't there for some dubious purpose.
