I’m Terry and this is ask Mr. Locksmith. I have customers ask, “can I pick open any lock?” And the answer is no! However, most residential locks can be picked open.

There are a lot of locks that cannot be picked. And here’s the various reasons. Some locks are high security locks. So they are the UL Listed high security. They are meant to be pick resistant or pick proof. There’s very few that are “pick proof.” It’s just a matter of time.

But the average lock can be picked. However, if there is a malfunction in the lock, it can’t be picked.

There’s some good quality locks that are extremely difficult to pick. And I have to admit, I’m only about 80% successful, on picking some of these commercial grade locks, and some of them are on residential doors and the deadbolts.

I have some trouble on some of the better quality locks An example is the Commercial 6 pin Schlage locks.

Schlage locks are high quality, their commercial grade stuff is extremely difficult to pick.

We also have some of the newer smartkey locks. If the lock is malfunctioned, they can’t be picked.

If the pin is sticking inside and I spray it with Tri-flow or WD40, and it still sticks. I am not going to be able to pick the lock.

As a locksmith, when you are locked outta your house, we have to pick the lock. We are going to get you in the house as quick as possible, but also profitable. A locksmith can’t spend an hour or two picking that lock. If we can’t pick it within five minutes usually 10 minutes at the most. If we can’t pick it in that time we are gonna have to drill the lock or find other bypass methods.

If you have any other questions you want me to answer just please put it in the comments. I’ll try to do a video on it. Thank you very much. I hope you enjoyed watching this video.
