If you need to pick a lock (for completely legal and unshady purposes, of course) your best friends are a few sturdy paperclips ($1.99 for a pack of 100—keep them in your glove box or backpack) and a broken bristle from a street sweeper (which you can find pretty easily by looking around large parking-lots, like at a mall or university.) The street sweeper bristles are remarkably rigid and work as the main turning force of your makeshift key. The paperclips, when straightened out, work as the grooves and ridges in your key.
Each lock is a bit different, and some are, naturally, too hard-core for such simple tools, but most locks that use keys really aren’t very complicated, once you give them a look.
I suggest starting out by practicing on a cheap bike lock or old door, but once you get the hang of sliding those tools into place and feeling that sucker give way, you can move on to more complex, sturdier fair.
Yep, this is a handy skill to have, and with these cheap, simple tools, and a little practice, you’ll never have to panic over locking yourself out of your house or leaving your keys in your car again. (These suggestions are not to be used for any illegal, shady, or diabolical purposes. He he he…)
