Lockpicking Tutorial
Step 1: Understand the Lock Mechanism
Most locks operate on a pin tumbler mechanism. The lock consists of pins of varying lengths, which are lifted to the correct height by the key.
Step 2: Choose the Right Tools
You'll need a tension wrench and a lockpick. The tension wrench applies rotational pressure, while the lockpick is used to manipulate the pins.
Advanced Lockpicking Techniques
For more complex locks, you may need to use advanced techniques such as raking or using a pick gun.
- Raking: Quickly moving the lockpick back and forth to lift the pins to the correct height.
- Pick Gun: A tool that uses a spring-loaded mechanism to lift the pins.
