Just add this sucker to your keyring and you wil have a full lockpick set with you wherever you go. This awesome piece of technology was one of my first lockpick set.

If you want to learn how to pick a lock then start with understanding the principles of a lock. This image helps you understand the basics of how a lock works.

Sometimes and animated view can also help so I have added the video below for you so its easier to understand what happends when you insert the key in the keyhole. How a lock works:

This is a beautifull animation lasting only a few seconds but it gives a clear view of what happends when you enter the key. Watch it as many times as you want so you can clearly understand whats happening.  Understanding a lock is “key” to lockpicking :P
