- Ok, so ya say ya wanna learn how to pick combination
- locks...This text file should help you. As a matter of fact, if
- ya do it right, it will help you. First of all, let me tell you
- about the set-up of a lock. When the lock is locked, there is a
- curved piece of metal wedged inside the little notch on the
- horseshoe shaped bar that is pushed in to the lock when you lock
- it.
- To free this wedge, you must(must is a word used to much) you
- usually(that sounds much better) have to turn the lock to the
- desired combination and the pressure on the wedge is released
- therefore letting the lock open. I will now tell you how to make
- a pick so you can open a lock without having to waste all that
- time turning the combination (this also helps when ya don't know
- the combination to begin with). First of all, ya need to find a
- hairpin. What's a hairpin? Well, just ask your mom. She will
- have one. If she asks what its for, say ya gotta hold something
- together... If she says use a rubberband or use a paperclip,
- tell her to Fuck Off and Die and then go to the store and rip off
- a box of 50 or so.
- Ok, enough stalling (yea, i was stalling). Once you have your
- hair pin (make sure its metal), take the ridged side and break it
- off right before it starts to make a U-turn onto the straight
- side. The curved part can now be used as a handle. Now, using a
- file, file down the other end until it is fairly thin. You
- should do this to many hairpins and file them so they are of
- different thicknesses so you can pick various locks. Some locks
- are so cheap that ya don't even have ta file! But most are not.
- Ok, now you have a lock pick. Now if ya haven't figured it out,
- here's how ya use it.

- You look at a lock to see which side the lock opens from. If you
- can't tell, you will just have to try both sides. When ya find
- out what side it opens from, take the lock pick and stick the
- filed end into the inside of the horseshoe-shaped bar on
- whichever side the lock opens from. Now, put pressure on the
- handle of the lock pick (pushing down, into the crack) and pull
- the lock up and down. The lock will then open because the pick
- separated the wedge and the notch allowing us thieves to open it.
-
- Don't say bullshit until you've tried it. because i have gotten
- lots of beer money from doin' this to fellow students'
- gym lockers. Also, this technique works best on American locks.
- I have never picked a Master lock before because of the shape a
- pressure of the wedge but if anyone does it, let me know how long
- it took. Also, the Master lock casing is very tight so ya can't
- get the pick in. So, if you're locking something valuable up,
- use a Master, cuz at least ya know I won't be picking it and I'm
- sure there aren't that many that could. And when i say pick, i
- don't mean lighting a stick of dynamite next to the lock, picking
- is opening a lock without using force, making a substitute key,
- etc... If any of you believe that this information is not
- sufficient for picking an American lock, or any other kind
- besides Master, leave me a message at

- This concludes my text file on picking combination locks.
- My next text file will probably be "Picking key locks".
- See ya later.
