The original soundtrack had to be removed, and I replaced with a random song from youtube's lists.

I thought I should share some information about lockpicking, and show you some locks I'm picking.

This might help you understand lockpicking a littlebit better.

Good luck,

EDIT: I notice the quality is too crap to fully understand what I've written. I will write the 2 first white "basics" slides here:

1: First some basic information:
Inside a lock, you will find these pins, as illustrated. In order to get the lock open you have to use a tension wrench to apply tension to the plug, in order to be able to pick the pins into position. How this works, is that when there are tension on the pins, the top part will be "locked" in position ontop of the plug, and the bottom pin will fall back down when you pick it. This way, you lock one and one pin in position above the plug, so that the top pins rests on the slightly missplaced plug (as an effect of the tension spplyed).

2: When you'v got all pins into position, the lock will slide open. In these illustrations you see standard pins, that are easier to pick. On more secure locks you will find pins shaped as "mushrooms" instead of these ordinary pins, and when you try to pick these with tension added, they will slide into a locked position. Therefor, you have to learn to feel where these security pins are, and pick them first, applying and releasing tension as you go.

I'v got locks both with and without security pins, and I will open them several times to show how it works.
