has this ever happened to you all the
doors in your house are securely locked
and you lost a damn spare key leaving
you to crawl through a window like some
sort of sneak thief in the night well
you're in luck because that deadbolt on
your door isn't as secure as it looks
and with the right tools and a bit of
practice even you could learn how to
pick locks and gain entrance into
anyone's house
hi I'm rusty cage and today I'm going to
show you just how easy it is to pick a
lock inside a standard lock such as this
one that you might find on your front
door there are six spring-loaded pins
being pushed down onto six more pins
that holds the key slot or plug in place
and keeps it from turning each of the
bottom pins are of a different length
that coincide with the ridges on a key
so whenever you put in the right key the
pins are raised up or lowered to become
flush this frees the lock and allows the
plug to be turned but if the wrong key
is inserted the pins push up too far or
not enough and this secures the plug and
keeps it from turning well this is where
your lock picking set comes in handy now
before we continue I think I'm legally
required to say something about how
carrying the lock pick set in some
states without a permit might be illegal
I don't know I didn't check the laws so
you definitely should so don't come
running to me blah blah blah anyways
back to the lock so a basic lockpick set
comes with several picks of various
shapes in a tension rod the picks are
used to push up on the pins until
they're all flush some of the picks will
push up multiple pins at once while
others are used for finessing single
pins at a time which tool you use all
depends on the lock that you're trying
to pick and how comfortable you are
using the picks so as you see here when
I push up on one of the pins what the
hell they just fall back down yeah well
that's where you use the tension rod
with one hand put the short end of the
tension rod into the bottom of the key
slot then apply a slight turning
pressure
the idea is to apply just enough
pressure so that whenever you push up on
the pins it will get caught in the flush
position this takes a lot of practice to
get right because too much pressure and
the pins will get stuck too far but to
let
pressure and they won't catch in a
position at all so for all of you who
forgot your ADHD medication and couldn't
pay attention let's review one two sets
of pins of all different lengths get
pushed down into the plug too when the
sets of the pins are all flushed the
plug will turn three use a tension rod
and apply slight turning pressure to the
lock for use the picks to push up on the
pins until they all catch in the flush
position and voila the lock opens and
the treasure is yours now in my
experience picking a lot can take
anywhere between 20 seconds in a few
hours
listen I'm no locksmith so there's been
times where I've been locked out of my
house for several hours before I was
able to pick the lock and get inside but
also listen again I am no locksmith and
on one of my first attempts I picked my
front door lock in like 20 seconds
seriously watch how easy it is to open
this deadbolt you think your house is
nice and secure all locked up and tight
but then some [ __ ] like me comes
along with the pick set and almost zero
experience and unlocks your door like
it's nothing I mean look at this it took
me 16 seconds to do it
that's why they call them deadbolt
because anyone can break into your house
and kill you
shame on you quick set you fall security
giving liars shame so there you have it
