Best Answer

Yes, you can pick a simple lock in either the unlocked or locked position. There isn't much difference in the actions between the two.

Additional Response:

When a lock is unlocked, there are no more pins to manipulate. All one has to do is turn the cylinder inside the kik (Key in Knob) housing, and it slides into place. You can use a pick, you can use a fingernail file, you can use pressure on the outside of the actual cylinder and just turn it with your finger.

An unlocked cylinder - in all cases that I am aware of at least - has the pins separated and the bottom pins aren't even touching the kik. There's no resistance present, so yes, it can be "relocked" with a pick. It can also be relocked by putting your finger on it and spinning it a little bit.

There are no pins to manipulate in order to "relock" any lock I have ever encountered - and I've seen quite a few.

How do you use a tubular lock pick?

Essentially you set the picks in a tubular lock pick to "past flush" meaning they extend beyond the housing they're normally inside. Once there, press them flush by pushing the pick down on a table or other flat surface. Next, tighten the collar of the tubular lock pick. Once the collar is snug, place it in the key in knob cylinder for the lock. This should "impression" the required key onto your tubular lock pick. Extract the pick slowly while turning it, and you should open the lock. You should also be left with the calibrations for that lock's key on your pick, which will enable you to duplicate it or simply reset your pick the next time you want to pick that lock.
