Thank you Schuyler! This video helped me big time, I was able to figure out what kind of lock I was dealing with. That serrated lock definitely requires some patience. But with the pulse method of picking and the tips of this video I had successful picking. Definitely increased my picking skill.
Lock picking is a skill that requires a lot of education and practice, and the fact is, there's always easier ways to bypass security. Most burglars don't want to invest the time or resources to learn lockpicking when there are much more blatant ways to enter. These videos are intended mostly for hobbyists, and there is a very active world of people who pick locks for fun- sometimes even in a competitive setting! Just because a skill can be used for crime doesn't mean it probably will be.
Good lord, where was this video when I started trying to learn to pick? I've been bumbling around trying to get a good idea what's happening with a false set and while I did understand the security pin thing, it never was as beautifully clear as you made it here. Thank you.
Loved this tutorial. I've been trying to incorporate 1/2 diamonds, 1/2 balls, and the offset versions, into my repertoire. After all, the shapes seem to be more conducive to picking than your everyday hooks, especially when it comes to gliding over over set pins
<3 I LOVE YOU MAN ! I had that one freaking lock that i wasn't able to open in years ! but after watching just a few of your videos yesterday night... i had the motivation coming up again and voila... it's open! this lock was just making fun of me for so long that i tought it would be impossible !!! thanks man !
