How to pick a door lock that has one hole.

Pick a basic door lock using a bobby pin. Keep applying that slight pressure on your. Insert pick at top of lock. I prefer the bogota rake that has three ridges.

Maintain this tension throughout the process. All you need is a bobby pin. Fabricate an appropriate pick for the round hole straighten a wire coat hanger or paper clip to unlock the door. The locks in most houses are fairly basic making this lock picking technique fairly easy.

If you have an item which requires one find a key blank that fits the lock. Slide the rake all the way to the back. Next either use a black sharpie or hold it above a flame to blacken the key. Pull it out and notice the shiny spots.

Locks with a round hole in the knob on the opposite side of the locking mechanism usually lock by pushing a button. While applying slight torque to your wrench scrub your pick back and forth in the key hole. If your door lock has a hole in it and functions similarly to the one in this video check this video out. First insert the tension wrench into the bottom part of the lock and rotate it in the direction you would turn the key to unlock it to place tension on the lock.

Put the key in the lock and try turning it.
