Learning how to open a lock can be a useful skill to have in certain situations. Whether you’ve misplaced the key to your house, need to open a stuck padlock, or have a lockpicking hobby, this tutorial video guide will walk you through the process step by step. In this blog post, we will cover the main techniques and tools needed to open different types of locks.

What tools do you need?

To successfully open a lock, you will need a few basic tools:

  • Tension wrench: Used to apply rotational pressure on the lock.
  • Lock picks: Different types of picks such as rake, hook, and diamond are commonly used.
  • Warded picks: Specifically used for warded locks.

What are the main techniques?

There are primarily two techniques for opening locks:

  • Lock Picking: Involves manipulating the lock’s internal components to mimic the action of the appropriate key.
  • Impressioning: Requires creating a working key by making a copy of the lock’s internal pattern.

How to pick a lock?

Picking a lock requires skill and practice. Follow these steps:

  1. Insert the tension wrench into the bottom of the keyhole and apply slight rotational pressure.
  2. Choose a suitable lock pick and insert it just above the tension wrench.
  3. Gently push the pins upward until they reach the shear line.
  4. Repeat the process with each pin until all pins reach the shear line and the lock can be turned.

Can impressioning be helpful?

Impressioning is a great alternative if picking the lock isn’t working or if you don’t have the necessary tools. Here’s a simplified impressioning process:

  1. Insert a blank key into the lock and apply light pressure while wiggling it back and forth.
  2. Remove the key and inspect it for any marks.
  3. File those marked areas slightly and repeat the process until a working key is obtained.

Lock Opening Tips:

Here are a few additional tips to keep in mind when opening locks:

  • Practice on old or unused locks before attempting to open important ones.
  • Choose the appropriate tension wrench and lock pick for the task.
  • Apply steady, gentle pressure, and be patient while manipulating the pins.
  • Always respect the laws and only use lock opening techniques on locks you own or have permission to open.

Remember, lock opening is a skill that requires practice and responsibility. It’s essential to use this knowledge ethically and respect the importance of personal and property security.

Now that you have a basic understanding of how to open a lock, grab your tools, and start mastering this valuable skill. Stay tuned for our next tutorial video guide where we’ll dive deeper into advanced lock opening techniques.
