What is Lock Picking?
Lock picking is a skill that allows you to open a lock without using its original key. It involves manipulating the internal components of the lock to align them in a way that releases the locking mechanism. This technique has been used for centuries, with its origins tracing back to ancient China, where locksmiths were admired for their precision and ingenuity. Historically, lock picking symbolised intelligence and problem-solving, as it required a deep understanding of intricate mechanisms.
How Locksmiths Use Lock Picking
Professional locksmiths use lock picking as a reliable method to resolve lockouts without causing damage. They rely on specialised tools, such as lock picks, tension wrenches, and rakes, to manipulate the pins inside the lock. For more complex locks, tools like decoders and pick guns may be employed. For example:
- Lock Picks: Used to adjust the pins in a pin tumbler lock.
- Tension Wrench: Applies torque to the lock’s plug.
- Rake Picks: Quickly align multiple pins by raking across them.
These tools allow locksmiths to work efficiently, ensuring you regain access to your property without compromising the lock’s integrity.
Why Lock Picking is Effective for Non-Destructive Entry
Lock picking is highly effective for non-destructive entry because it preserves the lock’s functionality. Unlike methods that involve drilling or force, this technique ensures the lock remains intact, saving you from costly repairs. It works particularly well on common locks like pin cylinder locks, lever locks, and wafer locks. By using this method, locksmiths can address lockouts quickly while maintaining your property’s security. However, it’s important to note that locksmiths must always have permission from the property owner before attempting to pick a lock, as unauthorised use of this technique is illegal in many jurisdictions.

Huge credit to Door Locksmiths. I locked myself out and called them for help. A very friendly and professional guy called Peter turned up promptly. He explained everything to me in advance, advised of the cost and replaced my lock accordingly. The whole service was much more reasonable than quoted with some other locksmith companies. I strongly recommend Peter and The Door Locksmiths.
