  1. The Arts of Lockpicking II
  2.  
  3. So you want to be a criminal. Well, if you want to be like James
  4. Bond and open a lock in fifteen seconds, then go to Hollywood,
  5. because that is the only place you are ever going to do it. Even
  6. experienced locksmiths can spend five to ten minutes on a lock if
  7. they are unlucky. If you are wanting extremely quick access, look
  8. elsewhere. The following instructions will pertain mostly to the
  9. "lock in knob" type lock, since it is the easiest to pick.
  10.  
  11. First of all, you need a pick set. If you know a locksmith, get
  12. him to make you a set. This will be the best possible set for you
  13. to use. If you find a locksmith unwilling to supply a set, don't
  14. give up hope. It is possible to make your own, if you have access
  15. to a grinder (you can use a file, but it takes forever).
  16.  
  17. The thing you need is an allen wrench set (very small). These
  18. should be small enough to fit into the keyhole slot. Now, bend
  19. the long end of the allen wrench at a slight angle (not 90
  20. degrees). Now, take your pick to a grinder or a file, and smooth
  21. the end until it is rounded so it won't hang inside the lock.
  22. Test your tool out on doorknobs at your house to see if it will
  23. slide in and out smoothly. Now, this is where the screwdriver
  24. comes in. It must be small enough for it and your pick to be used
  25. in the same lock at the same time, one above the other. In the
  26. coming instructions, please refer to this chart of the interior of
  27. a lock:
  28. ______________________________
  29. \ K
  30. | | | | | | / E
  31. | | | | \ Y [|] Upper tumbler pin
  32. ^ ^ / H [^] Lower tumbler pin
  33. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ \ O [-] Cylinder wall
  34. / L (This is a greatly simplified
  35. \ E drawing)
  36. ______________________________/
  37.  
  38. The object is to press the pin up so that the space between the
  39. upper pin and the lower pin is level with the cylinder wall. Now,
  40. if you push a pin up, it's tendency is to fall back down, right?
  41. That is where the screwdriver comes in. Insert the screwdriver
  42. into the slot and turn. This tension will keep the "solved" pins
  43. from falling back down. Now, work from the back of the lock to
  44. the front, and when you are through, there will be a click, the
  45. screwdriver will turn freely, and the door will open.
  46.  
  47. Do not get discouraged on your first try! It will probably take
  48. you about twenty to thirty minutes your first time. After that,
  49. you will quickly improve with practice.
