As my grandfather says "locks only keep honest people out"
Honesty isn't one of the most important man values?
Locks only keep out honest thieves * that's the saying my dad used to say it too
@@thequestlordsteviequest where does the "honest" come from?
Depends on the lock. Some keep everyone out.

"Locks really just provide the illusion of security" Thanks man I didnt like sleeping at night anyway...

Just sleep with a gun or katana when somone breaks in attack them furst before they attack you
Don't worry, thieves generally won't pick your locks. They'll just kick the door in or break a window.

Thank you so so much. Locked myself out at 2am. Watched your video at 5:45am. Picked my lock with 2 safety pins. TOTAL disbelief when it worked. My feet are still numb from being outside but I'm so damn proud of myself. Thank God for you 😇

OMG, I did it!!! Thank you Brett!!! Locked my keys in my bedroom and used your tutorial, tools are a paper clip shaped like a rake pick and tweezers as the tensioner! In a less than a minute, your technique worked!!! I AM MAN!!! Thanks!!!

Pz fear lookin ass
That technique will work on some locks and even a few with security pins but there's an awful lot of locks that will just not work on. You need to turn the tension wrench round so it's at the bottom and not almost obstructing the keyway. Great video and interesting too.

Just saw your video on the way to try to help a friend that got locked out of their apartment. I’ve never used my lock picking set. But I got through the door in 5 seconds. This video helped so much. I was freaking out.
Got a lock pick practice set a year ago for Christmas and after watching this video tried it out and got the lock open in maybe 30 seconds very helpful video!
I bought a lock picking set for about $20 when I was 18 and have since then gotten many friends into their homes when they're locked out, it's cold, and the roommates are away. I have earned many steaks and beers with this skill.
Another reason to learn how to pick a lock: Free meat and beer.
free steak and beer? I'm going to be a locksmith.
My locksmith friend barters for everything from flowers to oil changes, and yes Booze and Beef!
Will keep this in mind
Thanks Bret. Informative video but I notice you left out a few things like whats your exact address? What door did you practice on? Front, back, side? Also what time is everyone generally out of the house? Thanks again Bret! : D
Haha!

Thank you so much✨ I bought a small cash box online. When it arrived the keys were locked inside 😭. So, it was useless . But I bought a lock pick set and with your wonderful instructions I was able to open it easily 😅.
"Why do I need to know how to pick a lock, if I don't plan on burglarizing anyone?" Classic example of a faulty premise.
You lose the key like i did
If you are really good at picking you can commercially challenge locksmiths. You'd be surprised at how many professional locksmiths resort to angle grinders when facing u-locks & kryptonite locks because they don't have the fine skills to pick them... and then they'll charge you more for breaking the lock too.
@@picketf I prefer ankle grinders
why did you chose the video in the first place then...

"Lock picking is an art". Ok, now I wanna be an artist.

This takes me back to elementary when I picked a lock with a paper clip to get to some skittles. I missed an important test and was sent to some kind of lounge next door to take it privately ''without supervision''. In that lounge were vending machines, coffee makers, a television, comfy chairs, and the famed candy closet. I finished the test early and found a dish full of paper clips and decided to try out some lock-picking like I'd seen in cartoons. I unwound the paper clip and stuck it in the hole and jammed it back and forth a few times and pointing it upwards in the lock every now and again and BAM it opened. Unfortunately I broke the lock and it wouldn't lock anymore, luckily I was never caught, though there was a school-wide lecture.
When u said "stuck it in the hole and jammed it back and forth" ii nearly died of laughter!!!!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Really listen 2 it den you'll c 😂😂😂

My mom locked herself out of her room and this video helped me unlock her door with the kit my friend gave me. Was able to unlock it less than a minute! Thank you!!!
4:12 “bases on practice”
I am a locksmith, and most of what you said is correct. My only gripe is the way you used your tension tool, it covers up the keyhole and this is going to make picking hard and cramped. try turning it upside down to how you had it, or use top of the keyway tension. Bouncing the tension tool is also not proper but sometimes on easier locks it does work. Once you hit a schlage with spool pins you might run into trouble with the way you are tensioning. Cheers and happy picking.
Any resources from which I can learn ?

Also to know you don't have to buy a set if you don't wanna! I made my set out of windshield wiper inserts! I cut mine using a Dremel and it's really not hard then smoothed it up with sandpaper! There is enough metal in the 2 inserts to make a few tools I made a pick, tension bar and a rake and still have loads of material over to make more!
I have been using the standard pick mostly and lack experience with the rake, so thanks for the tip

The only real manly way to get through a locked door: Kick it open.
Shoot out the lock with a shotgun *then* kick it open.
Or you could just get a minigun and gta it by just blowing the door up

You can also apply the tension wrench on a downwards angle, it's just his preference to lift it upwards.
I've been picking locks for fun for a while now. I thought your tutorial was very good. A lot of tutorials just tell you what to do without telling you the mechanics of what you're doing. I really liked that you explained the internal components of a lock. Cheers!

A single women this is actually a relief to know that if necessary I can do this and hopefully be inside my home in a safe time since I work late at night. Though I would ask what other security measure you or anyone would recommend!! Thank you Art of Manliness!!
Get a pistol, a small .25, .22, .38. These are all made in small frames semi auto or revolver. They have little to no recoil. They do make compact pistols for 9mm and the like too if you want a bigger caliber but generally once someone starts receiving new holes they will run and a hole in the heart or brain from any gun will end the threat immediately. So don't feel under powered if you get a .22. Be sure and ask the people at the store for tips on how to hold and aim, where to practice near by and if they do gun safety and shooting classes.

BlackCat TunaPaw Okay, so you're some kid probably 11 or 12. You have no experience with lock picking at all (it takes some amount of skill), you found a stick, and you picked the lock. I'm sure picking a lock with a stick would be hard for experienced people, let alone some kid who has no experience at it.
It worked! Locked myself out. The key is carving the ridges on the paper clip so it helps with the up and down motion

Useful video. My friend needs to watch this so that he won't get locked in the balcony for the second time.
Strange, I was talking to a police officer the other night about home safety, and it boils down to if a burglar wants to get in your home when your out there's nothing you can really do to stop them. :(
Ye, there was a TV show here in the UK where ex-burglars showed people how easy it was to get into their homes. They cancelled it because it scared people and the amount of money it took to fortify one's home was impractical.
