  • How to improve your lock picking skills, step-by-step, using widely available commercial locks. Rather than approach lock picking nilly-willy, and attempting to pick locks that are WAAAYYY beyond your abilities, understand which locks are "easy" and which contain anti-picking measures.

      When I started I got a Master No.3 that I fought with for most of a week (I've since figured out that it's significantly harder than other Master No.3s for some reason, probably the wacky bitting). When I got it opened finally I literally jumped for joy. It wasn't the first lock I'd opened, but I'd been fighting it for so long that it was a real accomplishment.

    Hey, Bill, thank you. Your informative videos have taught me enough to impress my new boss during the interview. I’ve been down on my luck for almost a year now. Jobless, no one giving me a chance. Your videos taught me how to get started in this and now I’m training as a locksmith with a job. Just, you know, thanks.

  • @bosnianbill

    No, all locks can be defeated. All we can hope for is to delay a criminal with a good quality lock. I'd recommend any lock made by Medeco or Mul-t-lock. Yes, they can be picked but only by a very few people and it takes a lot of time.

    Thank you for all the time and effort you put in so we (I) could learn and have fun together.
    Best wishes to you in your retirement!

    I am a locksmith out of central Illinois. I absolutely agree about the adrenaline rush after I pick a lock open. I am always looking to improve my skills. Being a woman, I get a lot more pressure than any of the other men that do locksmithing around here. Anyhow, I was looking at your lubes and I noticed that you do not have Houdini. I get mine through US Lock and it is AMAZING! (Even smells like citrus) It doesn't have any Teflon, silicone, oil, grease, etc. Not sure what is in it, but I have used it for over 20 years and it is superb when it comes to lubes. Just letting everyone know. Happy picking ya'll!

    Dear Bill. I just watched the video by The Lockpickinglawyer explaining your recent absence and your retirement. I had been wondering and now I got the answer. He recommended to go find our favourite video and write a comment - but which one should I choose from so many? They are all special. This one have however a special place in my own story of getting into lockpicking. It explains in ways I can understand how to do things and in a way that makes it interesting and funny, it helped me getting my feet wet and build up the skills i have today. Your humour is the best! 😂 It's difficult for me to write something meaningful that can sum up how much your work and your UA-cam presence have made an impact on me, but trust me it has. Your calm way of explaining things, your funny humour and your endless knowledge. You will be greatly missed and I will come here to your channel again and again to get my daily dose of funny and professional knowledge. Take care and be well!

  • @TheBeanhacker
    @TheBeanhacker 9 років тому +14

    Hey Bill. I'm relatively new to lockpicking, and only really started a few weeks ago when my "Ultimate Adversary" practice lock arrived. I watched quite a few of your videos beforehand, as well as a handful of others, and I feel that having learned the theory behind picking has given me a bit of a boost.
    So a while back, I was rooting around my house for a spare lock to practice on, and found an Abus N 65/40 floating around. I did some research in to the lock, and found out that this lock is meant to have a considerable amount of security pins in it, so I set it aside until my practice set came.
    After a few days of picking on various pinouts in the practice lock, I felt it was a good idea to try out the Abus lock that I found (I'd given up before due to a really restricted keyway, and I could barely get good tension), and to my surprise, was able to open it given some time. Fast forward a few days and I was able to open it in about 30 seconds.
    Firstly, I'd like to thank you for your excellent video's, and let you know that you do a great job documenting your endeavours, and are a great service to those of us who lack as much experience. Just through watching your videos that I've increased my knowledge of how locks work, and how best to pick them.
    Secondly, I'd like to ask, what exactly makes for a challenging pin configuration? I was surprised that despite what I read on forums and other boards about the 65/40 being challenging, that I could open it with relative ease. How long would one expect to have to practice before attempting Abus locks, and do you have any advice on how to pin out my practice lock in order to get better?
    Thanks for your time,
    TheBeanhacker.

    WOW- Just got a set of beginner picks and was feeling pretty good about myself after raking a Master open in under a minute on my first try. Did that a few times, failed on an Brinks disc then came back to the Master. While watching you in the first few minutes of this video, I picked the Master again one pin at a time. I know for a pro that's not much of an achivement but I've never done this before. What a rush. Thanks!

    I started watching you because I play video games that include a lot of lock picking. So I was interested in the real thing. So I watch quite a few videos before I decided to get a cheap pick set with a see-through lock for practice which finally arrived today. I practiced quite a bit on the see through but I had an old master lock that I had been saving for my first real lock picking. I was having trouble so I came here to see what you say and I was about to give up because you said not to waste time on possibly broken old locks...then it unlocked and I nearly shit myself... Thank you! I have a new hobby and I promise to keep it legal!!

    Hello, Bosnianbill: I've purchased the Southord 5-spool-pin clear plastic training lock. At first, it took me 2-hours to pick it. Next day, I can pick it in a few minutes, everytime. I put WD-40 inside it to make it more difficult, and could not pick it at all. I removed the WD-40 by putting the lock inside a cup with rice and placed it on top of my warm ( NOT hot) gas fire. WD-40 all gone! I think, as others in training, I need to take a quality lock apart. EXCELLENT VIDEO! Regards.

I don't care about that "I can't explain how to know or feel the locks", because you did it very good in this one. I am an "old" subscriber and are very happy for your channel. It is really entertaining, inspiring and full of new knowledge for me.

    Just got my Master Lock 140! First real lock i've picked and got it with in 40 seconds. Opened it many more times so far, sometimes it does take me an upwards of 6+min , so still a very weird feeling lock. Since I've only got youtube videos for learning and this was the first real lock attempt, the practice lock did not do justice because it did not feel or sound like a lock at all. It's amazing to see what you guys say actually map out to a feeling in your fingers or hand.

    Thank you for your videos (and especially the link to Dr. Bint's pamphlet.
    ANYONE who comes to this page and reads the comments MUST upload that document!
    Question: I have been picking for a couple of weeks and have been pretty successful at repeatedly raking locks (up to a 140).
    I am now going to move onto picking, however, I am a visual learner and need to SEE what I'm doing to process it.
    What would be your recommendation/opinion for a "trainer" type of clear lock for practice for a beginner.
    Thanks again

    • @diichertz1
      @diichertz1 11 років тому +2

      Thanks Bill for your prompt respone.
      I found a relatively cheap ($35) clear lock online. I think that I need to be able to see what I'm doing and it would be a good investment. Also, thanks for your comments on the 140. I seem to be hit or miss on that and the fact that I didn't know it had "difficulties: built in makes me feel a little better. I definitely feel that I'm lucky with that one.
      Thanks again, and I hope you will not mind an occasional further inquiry.

    in the first 29 seconds I said to myself the secret is practice! I stopped picking locks for 15 years (got interested in other things) then went back to it for "urban prepper" reasons and found I was terrible. Then I practiced ever night for a week four hours a night and was back to my old self!

    Bill, you have imparted a methodology to me. I have a way of thinking, of approaching the puzzle before me.
    In the last couple of months I've gotten to the point where I actually think ahead as I work rather than by "feel" alone.
    And that has allowed me to open half of my "haven't opened it yet" pile.
    You pass your knowledge well.

    Dear Bosnianbill, thanks so much for your videos. For 4 years I've been looking for a lost key to open my house safe. It has a combination lock (which I knew the combination) but requires a key to open the door once the combination is set. 4 years looking for that key!! 4 years!!! After watching many of your videos and several others, I ordered my first pick set but it would take 3 weeks to arrive. You keep talking about making your own tools with wipers and ordinary items readily available. I made my tension wrench by grinding a hexa-key to a flat surface and my pick was made from a filed-down metal wire from a hanging file folder. Armed with these homemade basic tools I attacked my safe keylock and 6 minutes later, my safe was opened! I can't begin to describe how excited I was and the rush it brought.
    I don't want to pick my safe lock every time I need to open my safe so not sure what the best approach would be. Change the cylinder (assuming I can disassemble it), have a key made by a locksmith or somehow get rid of the whole cylinder?. The safe is used for fire protection, not robbery prevention (
