Chapter 7 - Components of skill in lock picking

Reveals the simple locks - employment, which everyone can learn. Reveals the complex locks - a craft that requires mechanical sensitivity, physical dexterity, visual concentration and analytic thinking. There are many ways of growth, if you want to achieve excellence in lock picking.

Chapter 7.1 Mechanical skills

Learn how to comb pins picking - it is surprisingly difficult. The problem is that the mechanical skills you have acquired previously, lies in the fact that the applicable fixed position or fixed path for the hand, regardless of the amount of effort required. During the opening of the locks have to learn how to apply a fixed force, regardless of your hand position. When removing the master key from the lock must be fixed effect on the pins. Passepartout is to "jump" up and down in the key slot in zavisimsoti of the resistance offered by each pin.

To pick a lock, you need to have an accurate idea about the actions of your hands. To have this view, you have to train to hear and to feel like a skeleton key held by pins. This mechanical skills can only be learned with practice. Exercise will help you learn to recognize the important information coming from your fingers.

Chapter 7.2 Imagination

To achieve excellence in lock picking, you must train a visually reconstructive imagination. Its essence is the use of information from all the senses in order to present a picture of what is happening at the castle, when you shred. That is, you need to "projected" all the feelings of the castle to get the full picture of how it reacts to your actions. Once you learn how to imagine such a picture, you will easily choose an action for opening the lock.

Information about the castle comes to you through your feelings. Most of the information passing through the sense of touch and hearing, and other senses are also extremely important. For example, the sense of smell can tell you that the lock had recently been oiled. As a beginner, you need to use eye-hand coordination, but with the improvement you will find that looking at the lock is optional. To imagine a picture of the castle, even better to use the information you get is not through the eyes and through the fingers and ears.

The essence of this skill - easy to focus on the lock. In order to achieve this, try to just throw away all the feelings and thoughts that do not belong to the castle, but do not strain your ability to concentrate.

Section 7.3 Analytical thinking

Each lock has its own distinctive features that make it more difficult or autopsy lungs. If you learn how to use the Edge separation and "personal" features castles, you will learn how to open them quickly. Basically you need to be able to analyze the data that you get from the castle, in order to identify its characteristics, and then, taking advantage of the experience, choose a method of opening the lock. In Sec. 9 discusses a large number of common features and how to use them or overcome them.

People underestimate the analytic skills used in the opening of lock picking. They think that lock master key opens. Lever for them is a passive tool that just provides the required pressure on the lock. Let me offer another way to look at the problem: Passepartout only runs on the pins in order to obtain information about the castle. Based on the analysis of this information, you attach the cylinder torque required with the aim to push the pins up and align them on the sheer line. This lever opens the lock.

Skill applying proper torque cylinder during picking requires careful coordination of hands, but at least improve your ability to present a picture of what is happening to the castle, you also improve this important skill.
