Lock Picking: The Paper Clip Rake

[@denisecharles5622]

I had lost my key and I am 63 years old. I was worried the manager would evict me if I did not open my Master Pad lock for inspection! This video saved my life! I used the Bobby pin for the hold and the paperclip for tensions and kept working that paper clip and I was shocked! It worked. You saved me hundreds of dollars and my apartment. They'll never know the difference. I will buy a new lock. This time i will keep track of the keys! Thanks.

This really is just one of those fascinating skills, isn't it? The ability to defeat the thing that shouldn't be defeated yet retain the responsibility not to do that in an improper way is kinda cool in a strange way.

[@philc7192]

I have a Master lock similar to what you are using that is at least 50 years old. It was a lock my father used when I was a kid over forty years ago. I have the lock but not the key(s) and couldn't bring myself to toss it (sentimental). Now I'm going to try to unlock it using what I learned tonight from your video. Very good video! Thank you!

Agent Hopper in action! That is really cool man. There are times I've lost keys to locks, that would have come in handy. Thanks for sharing man!

[@JeremyHopper007]

Master Lock No. 1 & 3 are very common and a good choice if you wish to get started in this skill. They do not have security pins and can be easily raked. The No. 140 would be a good padlock to graduate to afterwards. It's a 4 pin cylinder, just like the before mentioned locks, but incorporates a security pin. Raking these takes a little more skill.

[@yadjekim]

I showed my co-workers how to make these just last week. Thanks Jeremy.

[@myguitardidyermom212]

[@kw0s]

I know how a lock cylinder and tumblers suppose to work. I have seen a number of these home make lock picking videos. Believe me, I tried and tried. Perhaps I do not have the touch. I give up after 15 minutes. I do have a 36" bolt cutter and a 4 1/4" angle grinder. They always work.

[@hosedragger-204]

[@dalespector7579]

Funny I never thought I would need Lock Picking Skills until the day I realized I had lost (misplaced?) a key. There are some expensive things behind that lock. Scary to think that they (guns) are not as safe as I thought they were. Thanks for the video. I hope it is as easy as you make it look. :-))

[@rockraider3]

Alternatively, you can make the best tension wrenches from the metal strips found in old windshield wipers. I have some pick tools purchased from Sparrow, and they work great. Amazing how easily some locks open.

[@amintaibi9773]

Link?

[@gpweaver]

And you can make really good rakes and picks with old hacksaw blades and a dremel. Be careful not to overheat the metal or you'll need to re-temper it.

[@restojon1]

@@gpweaver I should've thought of the old hacksaw blade thing, I used to be a Motorcycle Mechanic and I often used bits of old hacksaw blade for various types of homebrew tool. Thank you for the tip

[@myaim07]

Jeremy, that's some cool stuff right there! In some jurisdictions carrying lock picks is a no-no. Alternatives like that are fantastic because paper clips aren't burgler tools. You can sometimes buy lock pick sets at gunshows and flea markets or buy them online. Keep in mind though you can be arrested for having them on your person in a lot of places. What are PA laws on picks?

[@JeremyHopper007]

There are no PA laws I am presently aware of. Discovery of picks on a person would probably be examined on a case by case basis.

[@stephannadasan1586]

[@nathancoomber7359]

Nice vid. I'm getting started out now, but I'm having an easier time manipulating each pin individually. I've tried raking a few times, but not much luck.

[@RileyBanksWho]

I did this with a breadbag plastic clip, removed the plastic that surrounds the iron ''needle'' and bent it so that it has 5 teeth. Make sure the lock is oiled from the inside and start raking while turning your lever. This takes me about 15 sec and the lock is open..

[@conundrum112]

[@madhatterxxx3421]

Hey Jerry Ive always had a natural gift at opening locks that have security codes I've always found them easy to bypass just by feel as for picking a padlock/keylock that I have never done I have picked a few cupboard or kitchen cupboard locks but I've never had a specific method for padlocks/keylock anyhow I never had 2 money clips I had but 1 hair clip witch I devided into 2 plus making wosre I never had the proper tools to shape my lock picking tools but I did my best with what I had I must say I struggled a quite a bit at first but that's a good thing cause it gave me the chance to get the feeling of what needs to be done and I'm ecstatic to say that I have almost mastered the process a hour or so alone with a few locks and I think I'll be semi-pro.anyhow thanks a million for sharing the knowledge for now I'm gonna keep my little toolkit with me at all times and as soon as I've the right spares and the right tool I'm gonna make myself a real beautiful and more comfortable toolkit anyhow I like that you have not only shown how to pick the lock but you have shown how to make the tools with very little more videos in the same sought of manner would be super#maguyver

I assume the same principle is for house locks as well as deadbolts correct? The pins and cylinder are all different for each lock, but just without the piston that padlocks have?
