Lock picking is a challenging hobby, and many of our customers have found themselves viewing every lock as a new challenge. When starting out, the first thing you need to learn is how a lock operates. Pin cylinder locks, some of the most commonly used locks around, function with a series of--you guessed it--pins. Each pin is a different weight or length, and when the correct key is inserted, the pins are all raised to a specific level (the shear line), which allows the cylinder to turn. To find out more about pin cylinder locks, read our tutorial called "How a Pin Cylinder Lock Is Defeated."
