Bobby pins are for movies, handcuffs and luggage locks, and not much else. Anything above the most basic lock imaginable is bobby pin proof really. They're just not the right type of metal or the right size and shape.
They're good for handcuffs and for toy boxes though.
Below is a link to a video of how to use a bobby pin to open these locks. If you're trying to get into anything above that level of lock though, you're going to need a better tool.
Any lock that can be opened with a bobby pin is going to work on essentially the same principal as the handcuffs trick.
A bobby pin can suspend in honey due to the honey's high viscosity creating resistance to the pin's movement through it. The honey's sticky properties also help to adhere the bobby pin to the surrounding honey molecules.
A bobby pin typically weighs around 1 gram.
A lock can utilize a lever mechanism as part of its design to secure the mechanism in place. However, not all locks use levers in their operation, as there are many different types of locking mechanisms such as pin and tumbler or electronic locks.
If you do not have keys or a lock pick, you may need to contact the manufacturer or a professional locksmith for assistance. Tampering with the coin box without proper tools or authorization may damage the machine and could be considered illegal.
It's fairly simple. Apply the shim to the padlock where the locking mechanism is. Then curve the shim so that its contour matches that of the latch. turning it to the side, pushing it down into the lock, and then sliding it around the latch should trigger a release of the latch. I've attached a picture below that essentially demonstrates how it works if you have a basic understanding of locks. If you don't have a basic understanding of locks, the best way to use a shim is to set it down, pick up a crowbar, and bust the lock. This one's fairly easy to figure out, however. There's not a whole lot about this that's intellectually difficult. The difficulty lies in the skill needed to pop locks which can only be acquired through practice.
A simple enough lock, yes; anything that size is good enough if you know what to do.
You probably can't. It'd have to be a very large lock indeed that a knife would fit into.
I have tried with the paper clip with the master lock but it doesn't work. I think a bobby pin might do the trick.
1. First stick the bobby pin on the door lock. 2.Then twist the bobby pin.
you could use a bobby pin a paper clip or maybe he key... lol :]
Yes. For most consumer level locks, all that you really need are a simple pick or rake tool, and a tension tool. I've personally picked locks using safety pins, paper clips, and various other thin metal objects. The concept remains the same regardless of the tools used. So, yes, it is very possible to pick a lock with a bobby pin.
thats how you pick locks in fallout
you can use a bobby pin or take the lock of by pulling of rip it from the other side
That's a complete invasion of privacy!!
It's possible - remotely. It's also possible to flip a coin ten times and have it come up heads each time. It's not likely however. The lock parts are made of steel. It would take an extraordinary bobby pin to harm those parts. Even if it could, chances are that you'd cut your hand apart before you did any damage to the lock parts, even if you had a bobby pin strong enough to do so. Is it possible to damage the lock parts with a bobby pin? Yes. Is it likely? No, not remotely.
If you don't have the key for a skeleton drawer, you can try using a paperclip or a bobby pin to try to pick the lock. Be careful not to damage the lock or drawer while attempting to unlock it. If that doesn't work, you may need to contact a locksmith for assistance.
With a key made specifically for that lock is the easiest way. Lock picking is a method of using tools--picks--to open locks, without a key, without damaging them. Locks can also be opened by drilling or by using a bump key or bolt cutters or a hydraulic jack, depending on the lock type. you could also pick it with a bobby pin and a pen cap.
