[@smileygarza1108]

HelpfulLockPicker when you set the fifth pin at 4:45, you’re keeping tension on the tension wrench right?

[@smileygarza1108]

Better yet, every time you set a pin you’re applying more pressure to keep it set?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

With standard pins I usually keep roughly the same amount of tension and with security pins you need to vary it

[@justindunlap1235]

Wow! That is another gorgeous cutaway lock, I had to watch the video just to see it in action. Thank you for helping to grow the locksport community by actually showing how simple locks actually are.

[@isabellam1936]

Thank you so so so much for the visual. It extremely difficult for me to learn and I think a lot of people when almost all of the videos tell you what to do without seeing what to do visually so you can apply that in your mind. I love how you teach us the details. People like lock picking lawyer say do this and this and this but when you go to do it you run into all these problems. It might be nice for views and content and get people interested in locksport but they’re horrible for teaching. His videos are like TikTok in preschool and yours are like going to collage.

[@eaglesnest942]

[@williamaguilar2230]

I would like to personally thank you. I was trying to pick my lock to my bathroom, which I don’t remember locking, and after 6 tries I kept getting it to only go a qtr of the way. Once I got all the pins down and kept track of them, I realized that I was indeed picking the lock but simply turning it the wrong way! I only knew that because I knew what each pin was and how it felt to have them set!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Weird you don't use privacy locks

[@paddlefaster]

Very comprehensive tutorial.Well done!PS:While I was a habitual raker and never thought that I’d become good at SPP’ing during my late teenage years,until I discovered a technique which really helped me become proficient at it that some refer to as “sweeping”,in which I would put my hook pick in to the lock and just make contact with the last pin and then slowly drag out it while just barely grazing the pins until it hit a hard pin(I.e The binder)

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I like doing that technique as well, it can be very helpful. Thank you for sharing!

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

To be fair, it is illegal on a handful of states, I think you can actually count them on one hand but this sport is full of many of the nicest and genuine people out there. It is much different than other hobbies were people are snobby and make the barriers to enter much harder.

Your comment about how the very common older, worn, dirty locks might not give the usual 'feel' or 'click' is very true. It would be very helpful to demonstrate opening an old worn lock.

I would probably add a good amount of lubricant to it and then try to rake it.

[@Breadman-k6d]

I bought a beginners lockpicking set a few years back, but it quickly ended up on my shelf. I watched a lot of YT videos about lockpicking back then, so when I recieved it I was already sure what to do. Still I sat down, to carefully read the manual that was included. The set consisted of 5 locks, each lock scaling up the number of pins (1 to 5 pins). I easily opened the 1st and 2nd, but then I got stuck. The pins just didn't behave like I thought they would. Sometimes I could feel them, sometimes I couldn't, sometimes they would have force behind them, sometimes they would just hang loose. I watched more KZbin videoes, trying to get answers to my problems but nothing helped. I kept "practicing" but I never really felt that I improved. I tried altering the amount of tension on the tension wrench, the amount of force on the pick, the different types of picks, but nothing helped. Sometimes I would get a lock open by luck, but when I tried to replicate my method a second after, I would be stuck for 10 minutes before giving up. Most of the time I would quickly reach a point, where all the pins where either completely pushed up, or hanging loosely. At this point I couldn't think of anything but releasing the tension, which made me start over every 10-30 seconds perhaps. I wasn't expecting it to be easy, but I was expecting to feel a senge of progression. I never did. I feel as useless a lockpicker now, as before. Once in a while I take the set down again, dust it off, and give it another go. But then the feeling of getting nowhere returns. I don't know what to do. This is my set: ht tps:/ /w ww.southord.co m/produ cts/locksmith-school-in-a-box-st-23

Thank you for sharing your story

[@Breadman-k6d]

@@HelpfulLockPicker haha you are welcome, but I was actually looking for help 😅

[@jaytea3299]

​@@Breadman-k6d Practice more. It is super challenging- Closest analogy is learning to juggle. It takes a lot ofvskill to add to the number of items juggled, and it isn't a linear scale of difficulty from say, three items to four. Though juggling is proprioception and hand/eye coordination, (not the same thing) the similarity with single pin picking lies in the added complexity of each pin added to the lock. It isn't a completely new skill with each added pin, but it is substantially harder. I just stumbled across this video, the cutaway is supe-useful for a beginner. I'd keep watching here, Bosnian Bill's channel (recently retired) and of course LPL's videos to give you inspiration. If you like to read check out Deviant Ollam's book "A Practical Guide to Lockpicking" . There are plenty of diagrams that can help you visualize your work and progress. If you are considering more tools, I have Petersons, a bit more expensive than some knock-off kits but you will get what you pay for. A serrated tensioner can really help you. Above all, have fun!

I've been picking on and off for 24 years and have always been a sloppy, accidental picker. I have a friend who picks like this. He could beat me every time, no matter how often I picked the lock. Maybe I'll finally learn the right way now. Lol. One thing to add, the torque wrench you're using is in a much better position to give the pick room to feel. Wished I'd know this sooner.

[@simongabriel2015]

Very nice video, thank you for that. Is there any way to identify a set pin in a lock that is build in? The lock in the video seems to be upside down, not how it would appear in the wild. So floppyness detection would not work there.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

If the lock pia pins down a set pin would be sunk down but not frozen when you push on it

[@simongabriel2015]

@@HelpfulLockPicker thanks for the hint. Ill keep trying ;-)

[@DanielsGameVault]

What if the lock is installed upside down ? How would that affect the pins ? I noticed just about everybody shows these "euro" style cylinders mounted upside down to how I've seen them all my life, with the pins at the BOTTOM ("bible" at the bottom, plug at the top).

[@dangerdavefreestyle]

around the 4:40 mark when pin 5 has been set and "feels floppy", when you move right to pin 3 which is the next binding pin, how does that not "feel floppy", they always feel EXACTLY as floppy as a set pin because the driver pin is binding at the sheer line and the key pin is free to flop around. The only thing that lets me know a driver pin is not yet set is that it is able to be moved. When I push on a floppy pin that hits a wall thats when I know it's set. Also, I am noticing that when your pick is all the way in the back of the lock working pins 3, 4, or 5, selectively and methodically, it is also lifting 1 and 2. If 1 and 2 happened to have a very shallow set height, i'd imagine they could easily be overset, and then the whole operation is nuked and has to be restarted.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

You are right that there is the similarity. Pin 3 was "under-set" which now takes away the "springy" feeling. When you feel an underset pin it feels floppy for about the first 75% of the height when you lift it but you will hit the driver pin at somepoint which will produce a "binding" feeling. A binding pin will allow you to continue to raise the keypin where if it were set you would not be able to lift it any further.

Thanks for an excellent tutorial. As a complete beginner, I don't understand what determines the order that the drive pins engage in the sheer line. For example, why should say, pin 5 be the first drive pin and not pin 3? Are the holes slightlv off-set so that the pins can only engage in a set order? Hope this question makes sense.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

The holes are slightly off and this is what makes lock picking work!

[@TomatenDK]

Which system do we use in Denmark. Apparently I ordered a wrong version of the lishi tool. I didnt know there were different ones. I think its called KW5 2-in-1 ? Can you tell me which lishi tool i should order, to fik the locks in Denmark ? Hope you can help.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

You need to figure out which type of keyway the lock is and then get that Lishi. For residential / commercial stuff there is a limited number of types of Lishi. For automotive there are many different types. It is possible you have a keyway that is not made currently.
