I heard this only works for locks from the early twentieth century

Fuck dude, my pic would've broke before the second lock

i feel a lot less safe that 76 people favorited this to learn how to pick locks

I found this quite arousing.

so will you here a click or what?

*hear

I fucking love you, i tried to find out how it works the whole time

What's the point of the bottom piece? And what is that tiny yellow "this-is-the-one-to-do"-indicator?

The bottom piece is putting tension on the lock so that the pins will get caught, otherwise they would just fall back down after being pushed up.
And the tiny yellow "this-is-the-one-to-do"-indicator is a "this-is-the-one-to-do" indicator.

Can you explain to me why there is a specific order? Why can't you just tap them from left to right?

Okay um, locks are made so the pins SHOULD be evenly in line, but they aren't, so only the pin that's under the most tension will get caught when pushed up. It's basically taking advantage of the impreciseness. Not sure if I explained well enough but it's been a while since this topic came up.

Okay..
So when you stick a key in the lock, it just pushes all of them at once

Yep when you put in the right lock it gets all the pins to the right position.
So when lockpicking, all the tension in on a single pin at a time, that's the only pin that can get caught until it's caught, then the tension moves onto the next pin, and so on till the lock turns.

you must be fun at parties

*thumbs, remember next time, the rest of funnyjunk isn't so merciful.

Oh.. So oblivions lockpicking is actually quite accurate..

That shit it impossible to figure out.

i actually found it quite easy, but of course when i got the skeleton key it was just mash auto attempt
