It's Easy
The big secret of
lock picking
is that
it's easy
. Anyone can learn how to
pick
lock
s.
The theory of lock picking is the
theory
of exploiting
mechanical defects
. There are a few basic
concept
s and
definition
s but the bulk of the
material
consists of tricks for opening locks with particular
defect
s or
characteristic
s. The
organization
of this
manual
reflects this
structure
. The first few chapters presents the
vocabulary
and basic information about locks and lock picking. There is no way to learn lock picking without practicing, so one
chapter
presents a set of carefully chosen
exercises
that will help you learn the
skills
of lock picking. The
document
ends with a
catalog
of the mechanical
traits
and defects found in
locks
and the techniques used to recognize and exploit them. The first
appendix
describes how to make lock picking
tools
. The other
appendix
presents some of the
legal issues
of lock picking.
The exercises are important. The only way to learn how to recognize and
exploit
the
defects
in a lock is to practice. This means practicing many times on the same lock as well as practicing on many different locks. Anyone can learn how to open desk and
filing cabinet
locks, but the ability to open most locks in under
thirty
second
s is a skill that requires
practice
.
Before getting into the details of locks and picking, it is worth pointing out that lock picking is just one way to bypass a lock, though it does cause less
damage
than
brute force
technique
s. In fact, it may be easier to bypass the
bolt
mechanism than to bypass the lock. It may also easier to bypass some other part of the door or even avoid the
door
entirely. Rememer:
There is always another way
, usually a
better
one.
