Alex Pananananana , I wear a hoodie everyday, I’m a grandmother who just happened to lock myself out, just because I wear a hoodie does not mean that I’m a criminal.
Thank you so so much. Locked myself out at 2am. Watched your video at 5:45am. Picked my lock with 2 safety pins. TOTAL disbelief when it worked. My feet are still numb from being outside but I'm so damn proud of myself. Thank God for you 😇
I am a locksmith, and most of what you said is correct. My only gripe is the way you used your tension tool, it covers up the keyhole and this is going to make picking hard and cramped. try turning it upside down to how you had it, or use top of the keyway tension. Bouncing the tension tool is also not proper but sometimes on easier locks it does work. Once you hit a schlage with spool pins you might run into trouble with the way you are tensioning. Cheers and happy picking.
Thanks Bret. Informative video but I notice you left out a few things like whats your exact address? What door did you practice on? Front, back, side? Also what time is everyone generally out of the house? Thanks again Bret! : D
This is so helpful thank you. I the average citizen always keep my professional lock picking set in my pocket. So all I needed was a TH-cam video of someone telling me how to use the extremely niche purchase I made.
I bought a lock picking set for about $20 when I was 18 and have since then gotten many friends into their homes when they're locked out, it's cold, and the roommates are away. I have earned many steaks and beers with this skill.
Yes you can... The mustache just makes it look alot more cooler. It's funky and fresh, plus ladies love the prickle it gives them when you kiss them. They giggle like a baby right after LoL
OMG, I did it!!! Thank you Brett!!! Locked my keys in my bedroom and used your tutorial, tools are a paper clip shaped like a rake pick and tweezers as the tensioner! In a less than a minute, your technique worked!!! I AM MAN!!! Thanks!!!
This takes me back to elementary when I picked a lock with a paper clip to get to some skittles. I missed an important test and was sent to some kind of lounge next door to take it privately ''without supervision''. In that lounge were vending machines, coffee makers, a television, comfy chairs, and the famed candy closet. I finished the test early and found a dish full of paper clips and decided to try out some lock-picking like I'd seen in cartoons. I unwound the paper clip and stuck it in the hole and jammed it back and forth a few times and pointing it upwards in the lock every now and again and BAM it opened. Unfortunately I broke the lock and it wouldn't lock anymore, luckily I was never caught, though there was a school-wide lecture.
Lol Like, someone says you're a horrible artist and next morning all their money is gone and all their cords and stuff is broken, so ya ask em "Am I a good enough artist now?"
That technique will work on some locks and even a few with security pins but there's an awful lot of locks that will just not work on. You need to turn the tension wrench round so it's at the bottom and not almost obstructing the keyway. Great video and interesting too.
Just saw your video on the way to try to help a friend that got locked out of their apartment. I’ve never used my lock picking set. But I got through the door in 5 seconds. This video helped so much. I was freaking out.
My mom locked herself out of her room and this video helped me unlock her door with the kit my friend gave me. Was able to unlock it less than a minute! Thank you!!!
I've been picking locks for fun for a while now. I thought your tutorial was very good. A lot of tutorials just tell you what to do without telling you the mechanics of what you're doing. I really liked that you explained the internal components of a lock. Cheers!
Got a lock pick practice set a year ago for Christmas and after watching this video tried it out and got the lock open in maybe 30 seconds very helpful video!

BlackCat TunaPaw Okay, so you're some kid probably 11 or 12. You have no experience with lock picking at all (it takes some amount of skill), you found a stick, and you picked the lock. I'm sure picking a lock with a stick would be hard for experienced people, let alone some kid who has no experience at it.
If you are really good at picking you can commercially challenge locksmiths. You'd be surprised at how many professional locksmiths resort to angle grinders when facing u-locks & kryptonite locks because they don't have the fine skills to pick them... and then they'll charge you more for breaking the lock too.
Well, this way of "picking" will somewhat damage the lock, however proer lockpicking, you know, that artistic kind. That's the shit, it's like nothing happened, but something did! :) xoxo
In many, if not most, states it is illegal to own lock picks unless you are law enforcement or a locksmith. My home state is such a state. I would suggest you double check the laws in your state before carrying a pick set in your wallet.
Which state do you live in? Can you also reference the exact statute where it says it's illegal for civilians to own lock picks? Based on my research as long as you don't have the intent to burgle, then you're fine. See here: toool.us/laws.html
Art of Manliness I guess I'll have to retract my statement. My apologies. I had intended to learn lock picking years ago and, at the time, I found laws against owning a pick set in my State (Indiana). Apparently they have been repealed, as I can't find them now.
In most states, it is legal to purchase such tools. It is legal to have them in your home or place of business. However, it is often illegal to carry them or have them on your person in some circumstances.
Joseph Jones like if your hiding in the backseat of someone else's car with a set in your back pocket. 90% of the law is INTENT, that means police officers that want to charge you with holding a lock pick set have the burden of proving you had intent to use it illegally. NTM how would ANYONE know you have a set on you?
Joseph Jones Please point to specific state statutes that say this. Based on my research, there are only four states in the country where the possession of picks is prima facie case of criminal intent. Even then, the possessor can rebut by showing that they did not have criminal intentions. For the most part, as long as you're not trying to break into somebody else's property illegally, then having picks are fine.
***** Yeah and thats called being unprepared, and its what happens if you are stupid. Otherwise you woule have placed an replacement key somewhere where you can easily get hold of it, if you need to.
A single women this is actually a relief to know that if necessary I can do this and hopefully be inside my home in a safe time since I work late at night. Though I would ask what other security measure you or anyone would recommend!! Thank you Art of Manliness!!
Get a pistol, a small .25, .22, .38. These are all made in small frames semi auto or revolver. They have little to no recoil. They do make compact pistols for 9mm and the like too if you want a bigger caliber but generally once someone starts receiving new holes they will run and a hole in the heart or brain from any gun will end the threat immediately. So don't feel under powered if you get a .22. Be sure and ask the people at the store for tips on how to hold and aim, where to practice near by and if they do gun safety and shooting classes.
@@joshcowden6163 Thank you, yes I am looking into firearms. So far everyone recommends a Glock specifically a 9mm EZ Slide. My family thinks its great idea and is planning a picnic after a morning at the local range. Thank you again for your recommendations!
Strange, I was talking to a police officer the other night about home safety, and it boils down to if a burglar wants to get in your home when your out there's nothing you can really do to stop them. :(
Ye, there was a TV show here in the UK where ex-burglars showed people how easy it was to get into their homes. They cancelled it because it scared people and the amount of money it took to fortify one's home was impractical.
I used this because my friend bet I couldn’t get into his crib without a key he woke up to me in his kitchen with a cup of coffee staring at him ahhh I love this tutorial

"Oh I forgot my keys, I'll grab the lockpick." "Whoops I locked my keys in my car" "I locked myself out of the house, can you come let me in?" If you don't know how to pick a lock, you probably should. trust me, you'll make a lot of friends.
A pair of bobbies worked just fine. I appreciate how you explained how the lock worked. I was able to make progress much quicker after seeing your video ! Thanks for the help
Also to know you don't have to buy a set if you don't wanna! I made my set out of windshield wiper inserts! I cut mine using a Dremel and it's really not hard then smoothed it up with sandpaper! There is enough metal in the 2 inserts to make a few tools I made a pick, tension bar and a rake and still have loads of material over to make more!
LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS. To unlock... the door. If you send me daughters. I will ask... for more. You're the saddest bunch of pickers yet, and you can bet before we're through. Someone I'll, make a smith out of you. Tranquil as a forest, and precise within. Once you get the pins set, you will soon get in. You're a clumsy, pale, pathetic lot. And you haven't got a clue. Somehow I'll make a smith out of you. I'm never gonna pick this lock. Say goodbye to what's inside it. Boy was I a fool before this video. This handle is wearing a sock. Hope he doesn't shoot right through it. Now I really wish that this pin would just go! Be a smith! You need a lockpit kit with a racker Be a smith. Without much strength so you get in soon. Be a smith! You must be patient and wiggle lighter. Persistently so the lock will meet it's doom! TIME is RACING towards us, till we get inside. You can do this yourself, the locksmiths... they lied. You are suited for, unlocking the door, now pack up, go home, you're through. Somehow I... made a smith out of YOU!

So don't feel under powered if you get a .22. Be sure and ask the people at the store for tips on how to hold and aim, where to practice near by and if they do gun safety and shooting classes.
@@joshcowden6163 Thank you, yes I am looking into firearms. So far everyone recommends a Glock specifically a 9mm EZ Slide. My family thinks its great idea and is planning a picnic after a morning at the local range. Thank you again for your recommendations!

Strange, I was talking to a police officer the other night about home safety, and it boils down to if a burglar wants to get in your home when your out there's nothing you can really do to stop them. :(
Ye, there was a TV show here in the UK where ex-burglars showed people how easy it was to get into their homes. They cancelled it because it scared people and the amount of money it took to fortify one's home was impractical.
***** True dat
Dark Day Ministries We had that in America too. It ran for at least a few seasons though. It was called How To Catch a Thief. Great show!
Buy a pitbull...done!
I used this because my friend bet I couldn’t get into his crib without a key he woke up to me in his kitchen with a cup of coffee staring at him ahhh I love this tutorial
He's saying it's not safe to have a lock but he's got one
Ben Bourner probably not his house.
@@bradcole1151 lmao I love how unironically you said that
Who else is locked out the house?
Thanks to this vid, many Lockpickinglawyer uploads in the past, and my stepdad’s lockpicking kit, I was just able to bust into my locked apartment at 2 AM. Cheers!
So it's not like in skyrim
yes
Jacocop Oblivion is more accurate.
@@Insomninaut oblivion is like super accurate haha
am i the only one who actually keeps a lock picking set in my wallet 👁️👄👁️
@Jessie I would also like to know
Dude, I thought you would be
exaggerated of you to say that lock just look like they are secure.
Thanks for teaching me this nice skill!
Instead of having the lockpick kit in your wallet, why not having a copy of the key?
just use a laser....
"Oh I forgot my keys, I'll grab the lockpick."
"Whoops I locked my keys in my car"
"I locked myself out of the house, can you come let me in?"
If you don't know how to pick a lock, you probably should. trust me, you'll make a lot of friends.
A pair of bobbies worked just fine. I appreciate how you explained how the lock worked. I was able to make progress much quicker after seeing your video ! Thanks for the help
That's why I keep the key in the door.
Him: Talking about picking a lock
Me: OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE JUST WATCHING THIS
Also to know you don't have to buy a set if you don't wanna! I made my set out of windshield wiper inserts! I cut mine using a Dremel and it's really not hard then smoothed it up with sandpaper! There is enough metal in the 2 inserts to make a few tools I made a pick, tension bar and a rake and still have loads of material over to make more!
When you realized it doesnt differ from lockpicking from Dishonored.
I picked my first lock today.
Thank you sir.
I can't focus with that amazing mustache on his face
You can also apply the tension wrench on a downwards angle, it's just his preference to lift it upwards.
Currently sitting outside my apartment wishing I had the foresight to keep a lock picking kit in my wallet...
A spare key is smaller and weighs less in your wallet.

@@Hassony523 woMAN UP
LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS. To unlock... the door.
If you send me daughters. I will ask... for more.
You're the saddest bunch of pickers yet, and you can bet before we're through.
Someone I'll, make a smith out of you.
Tranquil as a forest, and precise within.
Once you get the pins set, you will soon get in.
You're a clumsy, pale, pathetic lot.
And you haven't got a clue.
Somehow I'll make a smith out of you.
I'm never gonna pick this lock. Say goodbye to what's inside it. Boy was I a fool before this video.
This handle is wearing a sock. Hope he doesn't shoot right through it. Now I really wish that this pin would just go!
Be a smith!
You need a lockpit kit with a racker
Be a smith.
Without much strength so you get in soon.
Be a smith!
You must be patient and wiggle lighter.
Persistently so the lock will meet it's doom!
TIME is RACING towards us, till we get inside.
You can do this yourself, the locksmiths... they lied.
You are suited for, unlocking the door, now pack up, go home, you're through.
Somehow I... made a smith out of YOU!
MAN UP 1+

I locked myself out
Great video. I just got a lock pick set yesterday never picked before. I watched your video and I successfully picked all 4 deadbolts in my house. And your sure rite about lock providing false sense of security.
Who else thought of Oblivion automatically when you saw the lock design
