| | | Lock picks are fun. I've never gotten to use them while exploring, since not much is locked, but... Get some, if nothing more as a hobby. There are two common ways to pick a lock. Rake method, and manual picking. Most lock pick sets come with a ton of picks and i can't even imagine what most of them are for. To do the rake method, you need the pick that has teeth almost like a key. First step is to insert the torsion wrench (a Z shaped metal bar with a flat end that fits in the lock) and apply slight pressure in the direction the lock will turn. Not too hard, not too light. Slide the rake in and out slowly against the pins, and if the lock isn't terribly well made (most aren't) and your torsion wrench pressure is correct, they will all set and you'll be able to turn the lock to the open position. For the harder locks, you'll need the manual pick. That's the hook shaped one. These take more practice. Do the same thing as the rake method with the torsion wrench, that goes in first as far toward the floor of the lock as possible, gentle pressure. Then you need to insert the pick and feel around for the pins. It's subtle, and this method requires a lot of practice to get right. You will manually set each pin. I find that if i'm having a lot of trouble picking a lock, resetting it (releasing torsion pressure) and starting over by picking in the opposite direction (such as starting with the front pin instead of the back, or vice versa) that seems to get it undone. If nothing more, learning to pick locks will just go to show you how little security you really have.
