Picking Locks
Created | Updated Nov 27, 2004
All though generally frowned upon,(unless your a locksmith and people are paying you to get them back into whatever they locked themselves out of) lockpicking can be a quite useful skill. Though performed in many ways, this feat has only one desired effect, getting something thats locked open. This can be done with conventational lockpicks, improvised picks on the spot, lockpick guns, etc. All of these involve getting the lock open while not breaking the lock and not leaving a sign of the lock being damaged. All involve using an instrument to push the internal pins to the spot where the key would put them at. In conjunction with a slight amount of tension being applied with a tension wrench, the lock "pops" open, giving the user access to whatever the lock was locking. The lockpick guns involve taking a gun-shaped object with a pin on the end. Pulling the trigger applies constant up and down movement eventually aligning the pins. This a very handy skill to have and is good for getting a lot friends out of jams where they're locked out of something. Also usually good for impressing people.
