Picking a filing cabinet lock with a nail clipper 

Thank you for this simple, concise video with no annoying audio, not unnecessarily long and to the point.

That's a good quality camera for 10 years ago

thank you so much, i searched for the keys to my file cabinet for 3 days, i had to get in , so on to youtube i go.i seen your video and thought this will never work.with nothing to lose i tried it and to my shock it opened in seconds. i can't thank you enough.

This trick is hilarious! Friend was working on a cabinet for hours and I just walked in and opened it! Should have seen the look on his face!

you saved a lot of people with your video. all the comments are true you wouldn't believe how much you helped me THANKS AGAIN people you have to try this

This honestly works. Wow. You saved me a lot of hassle trying to pick a lock with a paperclip. Bless you.

This trick is amazing, I've been trying to unlock my drawer cabinet for a couple of hours now. This worked first try. Thanks your a life saver

I was skeptical...but this actually works. Jiggle it up and down while gently turning clockwise. Da-da!!!

I can't believe that actually worked! You literally just saved me a lot of heartache - thank you so much!!

The first time in my 61yrs I have hat the need to pick a lock of any sort and I had no expectations it was going to work. But IT WORKED. I can't tell you how happy I am. Thank you so...so much for taking the time to make a video. Wow 👏

I lost my key during a move. Tried everything short of breaking the lock. This really worked! Thank you so much!

LIFESAVER, THIS WORKSS FR, MY DAD JUST LOCKED MY LAPTOP AND IT WORKED. THIS WAS THE ONLY METHOD, I WAS TRYING TO OPEN IT WITH CLIPS FOR LIKE 1 - 2 HOURS AND IT DIDN'T WORK.

Thanks, it works, saved me much money for hiring a locksmith 😅

OMG!!!!! It works!!! Less than a minute!!! It's open!!! Easily!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!!!! My file cabinet has been locked for couple months... I watched the other videos... But never make it. Those are complicated... Thanks.. I haven't given up... And I saw this video!! And try!!! It's perfect working!!!!

Thank you, that worked for my Husky cabinet also.

OMG! The nail clippers didn't work but I tried a small pair of grooming scissors and lock opened! We moved 8 years ago and lost the key for a wood filing cabinet and now it is open....so easy...thanks for posting!

My 3 year old put the keys to my new hanging mirror in a blackmore the day I got it right after I loaded it all up. It's been locked for 2 months now and this worked! Wiggle the crap out of that file and it popped right open!

IT WORKS!!!! I locked a Anderson Hickey by accident at work on an old cabinet that had no key. Popped it right open. Thought I was going to have to really McGyver it with a paperclip, a piece of string, and a priceless diamond necklace, ha! Sorry, Im a little giddy. THANK YOU!!!!!

i tried without expecting my lock to unlock and then it did????!!!!!! in just a minute! tysm for this :')

Holy Fuck. this fucking worked? Im still shocked, I was trying all those elaborate lock picking techniques. I praise u brother

This worked perfectly. Thank you! I've been trying to get into my filing cabinet at work for months

Well...that explains a few things that happened, back when the kids were at home. But it saved me a bundle of time and grief now! Thanks for posting.

I was desperate with the paper clips BUT Oh my goodness! My nail clipper worked! This was way easier than the paper clips! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I accidentally licked myself out of my file cabinet with keys inside, and this did the trick. So, I tried it for a minute or two... Got discouraged...tried some other opt ions to no avail... Went crank to the nail file and Voila! Thank you so much!!!

This worked, had to giggle it softly for like a minute then it worked thanks!

Holy shit!!! That worked. Awesome! Thank you. Locked myself out of file cabinets.

Worked beautifully thanks. Lost the key to the office filing cabinet, opened it up with a laboratory spatula. The trick is in the jiggle.

This actually works! I had an old lock box from my grandparents, and it opened the lock in about 20 seconds of trying this.

Excellent! Bought a used desk with the drawers locked and this has made it usable! Thank you.

OMG it took me less than a minute to open my cabinet using this approach!! Thank you so much!!!

Holy shit, I just did it and I can't believe it worked that easily! Thank you!! I locked myself out weeks ago 😭

Thank you so much.I’m not going to the LT room 😂.my books were in there and I was about to full on kick it open 😆 thanks 😊

Absolutely mind blowing. You are so cool. Probably chewing gum while doing it

Damn... So helpful i thought i've lost my mind searching my key everywhere and so nervous cause tommorow i had a very important walk and my wallet is in my cabinet tf! Very thankful for this video.... ❤

Thanks for this tip. Someone lost the key to our file cabinet years ago, so we open it by bashing the cabinet on its side and then pulling the draw hard. This is much easier.

Excellent!!! It worked for me. Thanks a lot from Argentina

THANK YOU! Saved the cost and time of having a locksmith come out! Patience and tons of wiggling is key.....

Worked like a charm on the lock of the filing drawer of my very heavy duty desk. Thanks!

Great video, started a new job and had one filing cabinet I couldn't find a key for! Tried using nail clippers and was in within 10 seconds!

You needed to mention to apply slight turning effort whilst jiggling.

Thank you...It is very useful to unlock without key...

It worked like a charm! Thank you, I moved locked out and can’t remember where I put the keys!😂

yes ! just did this and it really was that easy ! thank you !!!

great commentary... and eating while recording added a nice touch

The Nail Clipper worked like a charm (Thanks)

I'm going to go try this now... I hope this works as easy for me ... Thank You....

Perfect solution for my idiocy. Now I just have to rethink my security strategy for my top secret files...

It worked! took me 30 seconds! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for this! Lost the key to my file cabinet and couldn't hack the paper clip method.

It worked! I lost the key to my filing cabinet years ago and couldn't open the one drawer with a lock. Finally can make use of that drawer.

Thank you! The receptionist was out and our new spare key didn't work. Yay! We can make the deposit now!

YEsss dude, ur a legend mate! lol i lost my cabnet keys. cant believe this worked! thanks a lot for putting this vid up!

You have saved my job. Thank you.

Do I have to loudly eat food with my mouth open right next to a microphone for this trick to work?

Great tip and info! You saved my day. Thank you!

Awesome, it worked! My kids lost my key, and the extra was in the cabinet. LOL Thanks

I tried it for HON L007 vertical file cabinet. It does not work. I must did something wrong. Any additional advice?

Love it. I just picked my filing cabinet as one of the lil kids have taken the key! Thanks so much!!!!!!!

this worked the first try...thank you!!

Is true, this works. On a staples file cabinet works like a charm.

You have saved my job. Thanks man!

WORKED! tHANKS for the video now the wifey will stay happy with me. lol

I can't seem to make it work on my cabinet but the nail clipper won't go that far into the lock I think it's much older and the lock is not as thick???

This technique works the best thank you so much

You just saved my life and days of stress!

Worked, but the whole core lock came out. I'm packing my bags right now.

Thank you worked great. Took a all of 5 seconds.

Brilliant....took about 5 seconds, thanks so much !!

Thank you for this idea at work perfectly

THANK YOU I lost the only key to my office filing cabinet and thought I was screwed 😅😅

You just saved me a LOT of time. My keys got lost when I moved, and I was about to go nuclear on that cabinet. Thank you!

Thank you so much immax01 :) It really works ... God bless you! :)

I can do that I have the same nail clipper as you, you use the filling part ont you! I have been doing this all day!

Worked like a charm! Thanks!

This didn't work for me, but I have a Staples filing cabinet made of wood so it's a bit different than the one depicted in this video. So I continue my search. Darn to lost keys! 😡
