[90] How To Zip Open Your First Lock

How To Zip A Lock Open! This Skill Is Often Underrated
Link To Subscribe➜ kzbin.info...
Zipping works mostly on lower security locks and ones with flat key bitting. However, it is a great way to start and finish locks as well. I often will finish a lock off by zipping.
Zipping can be a quick and effective way to get locks open. As always, the key to success is to practice, practice, practice.

I remember the first lock I zipped, I thought, it can't be this easy.. On many locks, it is that easy. Great video. Keep them coming. 👍👏

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

William Mancel Thanks for the kind words!

[@benjaminlong4376]

Thank you. Very informative and I'm going to. Give it a try.

[@mchughcb]

Sat here with the masterlock 140 watching this in the background trying single pick. Then my attention changed when you said zip that thing. Well pting! and it was open, after several pting, too easy. Thanks. Now I'll go back to practicing single picking.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

mchughcb another fun thing to do with them is using a "comb pick" to bypass the Lock

[@SightlessSenshi]

Definitely subscribing, my friend! Great video, very verbally descriptive, which I greatly appreciate.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Sightless Senshi thank you for the kind words! I am trying to be helpful towards everyone. I commented on your post on Reddit and you did a really great job :-) my username over there is different though it is stab_in_the_eye Welcome to the community, and if you ever have questions don't be afraid to ask

[@SightlessSenshi]

HelpfulLockPicker Thanks! :) Yeah, I did know it was you from Reddit; I saw the link you posted on there, to this video, and followed it here.

[@dalehanks3171]

That locks are this easy to open is only a little bit scary for me. Thanks for video, I found this video on reddit.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Dale Hanks surprisingly most locks you can purchase from places like Home Depot can be picked by beginners quite easily. But rest assured security is only as strong as its weakest link and statistically speaking most thieves will break a window or kick in the door before ever attempting to pick a lock.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Michelle L it is, it is almost like cheating!

[@kramerberbon1804]

Great video as usual, man. Do you apply the same tension than when you do single pin picking? I guess it has to be lighter tension when spools are involved, has it? Thanks.

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

It depends. No security pins is more a static tension and security pins you need to alter

[@kramerberbon1804]

@@HelpfulLockPicker Thanks a lot for your answer.

[@JRNSlx57]

Wow such an amazing technique, had personnaly more success than raking with the city pick or the snake pick Still in the learning curve, amazing video

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

thank you for the kind words and I am glad it helped!

[@desertrainfrog1691]

This reminds me of raking Kind of an aggressive motion that forces the pins up quickly to open. Kinda more luck based?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I would say any of the non skilled attacks have a large degree of luck but there is certainly a good amount of technique involved.

[@kevenquinlan]

Another great technique. Thanks dude. Love the New England accent, though it's not very pronounced, maybe Maine?

I find it easier if you use a diamond/half diamond rake for zipping.

Isn't this the same as inserting a blank key, applying torque and yanking it out quickly?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

no it is not

[@rmsg7504]

I've also heard this called raking and scrubbing

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Yes, there are many different names. This is more specific

[@F3PIZZA]

The no 3 ML I’m practicing with looks different. The key way looks like it has a security feature or something.

It is the rule of the hobby to not pick locks in use or ones you don't own

Have you ever tried it on an Australian Lockwood Lock??

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

Yes, I believe I have

[@Kokurorokuko]

Do you always rotate the tensioner the same way?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

It depends on which direction the lock opens in

[@Kokurorokuko]

@@HelpfulLockPicker How do you know which directions you should rotate if you know nothing about the lock?

[@senyokosuda9417]

How much tension do you put on the tensioner?

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

I am rather light but it is something you sort of just adjust as you go.

[@senyokosuda9417]

@@HelpfulLockPicker thank u, I'm still learning

[@murrumbateboy1210]

I didnt realise zipping is like bumping but with a pick

[@HelpfulLockPicker]

It is also sort in the reverse direction too. Bumping the key inserts into the lock and zipping is pulling the pick out of the lock. Open is open

[@elvirredzepovic6898]

Notice how bitting on these "locks" is a joke ? THAT is why they get zipped open.

This video is also a tutorial would you rather have a tutorial where the lock doesn't open?
