Unless it's a ridiculously easy lock to pick (such as those on handcuffs, luggage locks, and toys) then the answer is, "You don't."

They're not easy. They require skill which can only be acquired through practice.

The principals behind picking are easy to understand and aren't very difficult to master. Actually performing the act is an entirely different matter.

In many ways, more challenging than machining small parts, some types of surgery, or very fine mechanical work. It requires touch and pressure, and an intimate knowledge of what's being worked with.

This insight can only be gained through practice. No video, demonstration, or book can ever teach someone how to "feel" the pressure of a pin for a lock. It's something one really has to experience in order to understand.

You can always purchase a "Quick Pick" tool which is available through Norther Tool company. The handy little tool comes with a slide out rake for the tumblers, and a tension bar for holding the right amount of pressure to catch the tumblers to trip the lock. But, as with any trade, the other comments are true, it takes skill and practice. Or just drill the thing out with a good bit. If its anchored in with screws, ie. a deadbolt, measure a similar one at the hardware store, mark the holes on the face of the lock, spot them with a center punch and drill, ta da no more lock.

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.

How do you pick a master combination lock 178?

You don't. There's nothing to pick. They can be "cracked" or "bypassed" easily enough, but "picking" is by definition, the insertion of a tool to place pins into an appropriate position. A combination lock has none of those features and thus can't be picked. The best way to bypass a master lock is with shims. That's the easiest method. There are several ways to crack locks as well however, but most of those are far more involved than simply using a shim.
