How do you pick a lock with a paper clip?

Answer by  testing1234 (100)

You will need more than a paper clip or rake tool, something has to be the tension wrench. Put light tension on the lock while raking the pins. When the pins all are aligned it opens. Practice will make it easier for you. Anti pick pins also may stop you.

Depending on the type of lock, there are different techniques to pick the lock. First, twist the paper clip and jiggle it in the lock until it comes undone.
