Can you actually pick a lock with PAPERCLIPS?

I am back with another lock packing video I know I've done this will be my third but I really love this it's like little puzzles that you're not supposed to solve so I learned to pick a traditional lock one with a cylinder and pens and that's using a lock picking kit and then I learned to peck a combination lock and these are both useful scales but there was actually a time where a friend of mine needed a lockpick and I offered to do it and because I never had my lock I can kick with me a tree wasn't able to do it i tried to use screwdrivers and allen keys but i couldn't figure out and this got me thinking because in movies you see people picking locks with paper clips and bobby pins all the time however if you look at the tools of a lock-picking kit they're pretty specific tools and it just seems that these are very well suited for the job whereas this is it so in movies when they pick a lock in 30 seconds with a couple of paper clips I've always thought can you actually do that well today we're gonna find out I'm gonna try and learn to pick a standard lock using just paper clips so what are we trying to do here well basically we're trying to get this core the central part of the lock to take and what that'll do is it'll rotate this little lever which will in turn open the latch what's stopping this core rotating inside the cylinder is a series of little pins so the Pens inside the lock all have different lengths and they have to be manipulated up and down in such a way that allows us to the core to tart and you can see that the key is cut so that when I insert it into the lock it moves the Pens perfectly in line with the core which allows it to turn when I take the key out they all jumbled about randomly and the core can't be turned so to pick the lock you basically put something into the core and manipulate the pins up and down the problem is when you move one pen in the correct position to move to the next one Edge's moves back way so we solve that by applying a little bit of tension a little bit of torque on the core which helps keep the pen in place we just go one by one until they're all aligned and the lock opens that's it easy in order to be able to pick a lock with paperclips I need to make these tools from these paper clips so I built this little box well I didn't build the box I've bought off Amazon and installed a lock I just used hot glue to glue this on so it definitely wouldn't put anything valuable in that's better it will work for demonstration purposes right let's get started I'm gonna stick a phone in there to create some incentive and also to act as an accurate timer so this is day one hour zero alright second phone in the door I want to use these keys for the rest of this filming session so let's see if I can pick this just using these paper clips first thing I need to do is to make the tool so I'm gonna start with the lever so I don't think this will be too bad let's see I need to make this loop section here smaller so don't ever do this at home but I need to work I think that'll work kind of got more simple to not mean it's almost the same shape as when I started right the Peck look all these crazy shapes of pecks I'm not I'm not gonna be able to make anything like that so I'm just gonna go for the most basic one simple hook my want is the the band portion to be right at the end there so I'm gonna just use this when you choose this box these paper cups are strong I just use the lock to make a tube endless and you know ma I think that that's actually quite good let's give this a go let's start packing this bad boy so I'm applying a little bit of tension here quite a lot actually and we're gonna go from front to back okay so immediately there is a lot less feedback and dexterity using the paperclip it tends to bend and it also gets caught on the Pens so I have trouble I'm having trouble moving this forward here is stuck in there yeah this is a lot harder also this is bending I can do I can do with a little bit more reinforcement here so let's get yeah yeah that's a that's a lot better if you guys have ever watched the lock-picking lawyer on YouTube it's a fantastic channel you should definitely check out this guy really is a guru when it comes to picking locks he has a very methodical technique Google pen one pen to pen 3 and then go back that's not really the way I do it because I'm such an amateur I I don't have that finesse I kind of stick the pic into the core and just drag along up and down and hope that the Pens randomly fall into position and stick there that tends to work for me it takes out a long time to pick a lock but eventually it does get open so you can hear the pen moving up and down there this is the true armature technique this is what I do when I'm frustrated and forget I end up just going nuts right let's take a break when I'll get anywhere here ok it's completely stuck I can't move that I thought you can see that the whole lock mechanism was moving it's ok you hear that pin there that was just the pen releasing let's try and get this one down ok can I ruined a tool here plus bend that back I just can't feel which pin Aman because that's just Ben's inside the log it's a very fast red [Music] more is that noise oh hold on oh there it's done oh no I think I've I think I'm telling us the wrong way yeah I've I've picked this lock but the but I've turned it the wrong bloody way god dammit right so I know it's possible but it's anti-clockwise your mother oh there we go I've turned it the wrong way again I picked I'm the only guy ever to pick a lock and lock the front door [Music] oh there we go whatever goes ever go there we go right [Music] oh bloody sick well that was secure so the movies aren't lion movies you can always trust the movies it did take 35 minutes pecking it just to prove this isn't a fluke I'm gonna try and pick this say a little padlock also with the paper clips [Music] oh yes there we go that was way too easy you can definitely pick a lock with a couple of paper clips a wee while ago I bought these metal posters from display and when they arrived I was so impressed with them that I reached out to this play and asked if they'd like to sponsor one of my videos and they agreed so these are metal posters which means that they set really flush to the wall which I love I think that looks a lot cleaner and the cool thing about these is that acquire no tools to mount and the make no holes in the wall let me show you the moment system it's just these magnetic strips that's it that's the only thing keeping these on the wall and when you're done if you don't want them on the wall anymore they just peel off amazingly there's 250,000 different designs to choose from spanning a huge range of different genres like movies books I really like this half-life one so if you like video games or the Marvel series there's plenty of posters with those on them so use the link below and have a browse around and if you see something you like that link will get you 20% off at checkout this is my favorite bat check how you mount it once the magnetic strips are on it's just the case of done this is a product I really like one that I endorsed with my own money before lebra's any sponsorship and so I really trust that you will like this product and if you do use the link and the code below and you'll be helping to support the show thanks to this plate for the sponsorship and thanks to you guys for watching I'll see you next time peace
