Lock Picks

Lock picks are essential tools for the professional locksmith, the student and the hobbyist alike. These devices are used to open locks without the use of keys. Such tasks, while often portrayed as easy in the movies, are actually quite skill-oriented. It takes time and patience to pick a lock, even for a professional. Most professional locksmiths keep an entire lock pick set with them in their tool box.

Lock picks replicate the work of keys, only over a much longer period of time. Locks work through the use of internal pins. When the pins are in the right positions, the lock mechanism can be turned and opened. A key places the pins in a given lock in the proper configuration in fairly short order--adjusting the pins is, after all, what a key is meant to do.

When using lock picks, one must adjust each pin individually, a process that can be time-consuming. Many people are fascinated by the challenges that locks present. One must draw on a great deal of knowledge and expertise in order to pick a complex lock. Each little pin must be adjusted--without any visual aids!
