hey everybody its half monty and I
suppose if you click on this light link
you want to be like MacGyver or maybe
you're locked out of your place and
you're looking this up real quick but
it's how to pick a lock with two paper
clips that's what I got and picking
locks not that hard but it's not easy
not simple you gotta know what you're
doing
so drew diagrams if you can see the this
in this ermahgerd diagrams just to
forget about that one um so this is the
inside of the lock
supposedly um and these are the pins and
I have four pins here obviously
different locks have different runs of
pins sometimes it's three sometimes it's
five whatever and uh each pin has like a
break in it that once you lined it up
with the top like say if you put a key
in and pushes those pins to their
certain spot where that has a break in
it then the lock can rotate and it'll
rotate too like sometimes all the way
around to the same pins or sometimes
it'll rotate 45 degrees or whatever and
then there'll be another set of pins but
yeah that's a piece of concept that to
put pins in deeply pushed up to the
exact point of where they catch and then
you can rotate the whole cylinder and
that's that's basically how the lock
works that's kind of necessary in order
to do this now as far as what you're
gonna need you're gonna need basically
two paper clips one of them I curled the
end into a little hook the not very easy
to do you're gonna need something to I
use the stapler actually just anything
you can use to kind of squeeze that to a
nice sharp little end it's bent kind of
weird just because that's how I've been
using it um and then this is gonna be
your rake and this is gonna be your
tensioner tensioners needed to apply
well attention to the lock itself and
the rake is to move the pins now
I have a very simple lock here and to
demonstrate it's unlocked
yeah unlocked I'm going to attempt to
lock it I don't have the key wondering
if I could do this that's that I can so
what I do is with a little hook I am
kind of stick that in there and actually
I'm gonna change the angle of this to
this way so it's kind of a little out of
the way now what you do is you can see
the lock kind of turn I'm not blocking
the light the lock turns you want to
apply tension in the directions the lock
is supposed to go let's see here okay
and now I'm just gonna do a couple
breaks on the pins breaking basically
means is that was pretty easy
raking is basically just scraping along
the pins and because you're adding
tension as soon as the pin break hits
the spot where it's supposed to it
catches and not all locks are easy to
rake but uh see here turn that all the
way I'm gonna tensioners not that strong
can we use the back end of the there we
go back end of the paperclip to finish
it off and now it's locked and I can't
unlock it because it went all the way
and see what fooling you here that is
that is locked okay and uh can't just
can't just turn that back so I'm gonna
have to actually I don't want that
undone okay there we go now I need to
apply tension in the opposite direction
get my rake here now this is obviously
not like the best lock in the world here
Jimmy give it to me dirty little ho come
on
attention is going all over the place
can I do it can I do it of course I
can't now if you can't get this on the
first try
don't be discouraged you're doing using
paper clips
especially on a good house lock like a
schlager slate or whatever this no-good
brand of lock it's not gonna be that
easy
alright you reset you cap in got caught
in the wrong spot
while this is not going of course the
first one went easy also don't get
frustrated I wants to open up it'll open
AMA
now hopefully you weren't gonna use this
for getting into people's houses or
nothing
and again house locks are different
you're gonna need a better tools and
probably paper clips they'll just work
for most simple locks I think there's
one pin back there I just can't quite
get in a spot I also gained a feel for
it the more you do it there we go
finally probably couldn't even see any
of that happen but there we go unlocked
it and that that was difficult um my
second one was but that is how to
lockpick with two paper clips and don't
do anything bad but hopefully I will
save a few you from like 60 bucks
spending on locksmith if you lock
yourself out of somewhere I've actually
done the house my own house before so
it's possible with just whatever you
find but that space and premise of it
and if I can do it you can do it it's
been half my fee you had a pick a lot
