Probably the most important thing about picking a lock is getting the right tension on it.  Unfortunately this is something that can only be learned by doing. Practice, practice, practice!. In this 2-part series, I will introduce you to the types of tension tool commonly used with pin cylinder locks, how you use them, what levels of tension you might apply and what is actually happening in the lock with varying levels of tension. Enjoy!


Remember: only pick locks that are yours and that are not in use!
