Ok, so ya say ya wanna learn how to pick combination locks...This text
file should help you. As a matter of fact, if ya do it right, it will help
you. First of all, let me tell you about the set-up of a lock. When the lock
is locked, there is a curved piece of metal wedged inside the little notch
on the horseshoe shaped bar that is pushed in to the lock when you lock it.
To free this wedge, you must(must is a word used to much) you usually(that
sounds much better) have to turn the lock to the desired combination and the
pressure on the wedge is released therefore letting the lock open. I will now
tell you how to make a pick so you can open a lock without having to waste
all that time turning the combination (this also helps when ya don't know the
combination to begin with). First of all, ya need to find a hairpin. What's a
hairpin? Well, just ask your mom. She will have one. If she asks what its
for, say ya gotta hold something together... If she says use a rubberband or
use a paperclip, tell her to fuck off and die and then go to the store and rip
off a box of 50 or so. Ok, enough stalling (yea, i was stalling). Once you
have your hair pin (make sure its metal), take the ridged side and break it off
right before it starts to make a U-turn onto the straight side. The curved
part
t can now be used as a handle. Now, using a file, file down the other end
until it is fairly thin. You should do this to many hairpins and file them
so they are of different thicknesses so you can pick various locks. Some locks
are so cheap that ya don't even have ta file! But most are not. Ok, now you
have a lock pick. Now if ya haven't figured it out, here's how ya use it.
You look at a lock to see which side the lock opens from. If you can't tell,
you will just have to try both sides. When ya find out what side it opens
from,
, take the lock pick and stick the filed end into the inside of the horseshoe-
shaped bar on whichever side the lock opens from. Now, put pressure on the
handle of the lock pick (pushing down, into the crack) and pull the lock up
and
down. The lock will then open because the pick separated the wedge and the
notch allowing us thieves to open it. Don't say bullshit until you've tried
it.
because i have gotten lots of beer money from doin' this to fellow students'
gym lockers. Also, this technique works best on American locks. I have never
picked a Master lock before because of the shape a pressure of the wedge but
if anyone does it, let me know how long it took. Also, the Master lock casing
is very tight so ya can't get the pick in. So, if you're locking something
valuable up, use a Master, cuz at least ya know I won't be picking it and I'm
sure there aren't that many that could. And when i say pick, i don't mean
lighting a stick of dynamite next to the lock, picking is opening a lock
without
t using force, making a substitute key, etc... If any of you believe that this
information is not sufficient for picking an American lock, or any other kind
besides Master, leave me a message at /\/\etalland 1 (503) 538-0761.
This concludes my text file on picking combination locks. My next text
file will probably be "Picking key locks". See ya later.
