Welcome to, "DIY Tryin."
Who needs keys?
Not us.
Nope.
So this week we're going to show you how to turn pieces of metal
that you find on the side of the street.
Or the guts of an ordinary windshield wiper.
Into your own personalized lock pick set.
This is so cool.
All right, finding materials-- so most people hate street
sweepers but I love them because they leave behind these little
tiny metal blade--
We'll they're like 10 inches long.
Yeah, so usually this is kind of a passive activity where
I'm just walking on the road and I see them
on the side of the street.
He's like a crow that way.
But you can go out and look for them.
Here's what we're looking for.
Just a little piece of metal like this.
All right, let's see if we can find anymore.
That's not what we're looking for, but hypodermic needles,
yeah.
Great neighborhood.
Next to this broken car window, got another one.
Or you can basically replace your windshield wiper blades.
Take the old one, cut the exteriors off,
and it'll be beautiful, sort of flexible, nice
steel, thin steel you can use as the base, the raw material
for your lock bay.
Those ones give you nice, little handle grips
that don't hurt your hand as much.
That's a good thing because, you know,
we like the finer things in life here on, "DIY Tryin."
All right, once you have all of your materials,
you want to look up different lock picking designs.
There's some pretty standard ones.
You want to do like, a diamond pick and a regular pick,
and maybe a rake.
And then you should be good.
And you'll need a tension wrench or a tension tool.
That's the L shape that goes in to hold
the tumbler while you're manipulating your rake
or your pick inside of there.
This whole project becomes very simple
if you have a grinding wheel.
Because then you can, in 30 seconds,
you're done with them basically.
Just make sure, when you're using that,
to actually quench the medal every while
in a glass of water.
Otherwise it might get a little too hot
and it might get brittle.
I'd almost say, like, quench it in between every-- like,
I was basically quenching in between every single pass
on the grinder.
Yeah.
And if you don't have a grinder, you
can also use things like a Dremel tool or just a head
file, but it'll just take a little bit longer.
Yeah.
It'll take a lot longer if you're filing it out,
but, you'll just feel bonded with the work when you're done,
which is a good thing.
Yeah.
So now you've got your tools, you've
got to know what to do with them.
There are a couple places to start.
The document which used to be called,
"MIT Lock Picking Guide--"
It's the, "MIT Lock Picking Guide."
You love this book.
It was made in, like, 1991.
It has grey, just like-- it's a very good beginners tutorial.
They have exercises that you can do.
It's great.
Toool.us.
T-O-O-O-L dot U-S is an online community dedicated to learning
about locks, how they work and lock picking.
And if you you're more the sort of like,
I want a book kind of person.
"Practical Lock Picking, Second Edition.
A Physical Penetration Testers Training Guide,"
by the ever so awesome, Deviant Ollam is really cool.
But who has time to read books?

Get yourself an awesome thing to listen
to while you're practicing your lock picking.
Let's give these new lock picks a shot.
The most basic lock picking technique is called scrubbing.
What you do is you apply just a little bit of pressure
with your tension wrench, up against the plug.
And then you scrub, or you rake up against the pins
with your lock pick.
And this is obviously easier if you
have a lock pick that has lots of teeth.
But as you go back and forth, you
apply a little bit more pressure,
and then eventually all the pins will start to set.
And then you'll be able to turn the lock.
I was able to get the office cabinets.
There are surprisingly easy to actually open up.
There's like three pins in there and they're not
even really pins.
But the cool thing was that we handed these off
to our coworkers, and we were like, here's
the basic thing that you need to do.
Just kind of rake back and forth and see if you can do it.
And they were great at it.
Every single one actually.
I'm taking a set of the picks home this weekend.
There are two locks on the airstream we've never
actually opened because there are no keys.
And now I will find out.
I'm going to get my old sweaters back from my ex-girlfriend.
Breaking and entering illegal, you know that right?
With her permission of course.
Of course, that's why you need the lock picks.

I'm Patrick Norton.
I'm Michael Hand.
We'll see you next week.
All right, so a master locksmith just
put some light pressure on that.
Your pick's upside down.
Just gotta work it real nice.
What?
That's not actually how you do it.
You gotta know what the lock wants.
You're wrench, I think, needs to be on the other side.
