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.
