How To Pick A Liquor Cabinet Lock With Ease

Insert Tension Wrench Into the Bottom of the Keyhole

The tension wrench is crucial to open a lock (no pun intended) effectively. People wrongly believe it’s the pick, as it is the item it raises the main pins to fit with the shear rows.

Here’s why the tension wrench is so crucial: you also need to put tension on the socket while you raise the pinheads with your pick. If you apply the correct amount of torque on the device, the plug can rotate slowly as soon as the driver pin crosses the shear plate. The key pin will drift back out as you take the pick out, and the driver pin will grab the tip of the plug and stay above the tensile line.

With your pick, you must start to lift pins and increase the pressure with your tension wrench before all the pins crossed the shear line. Then take that tension wrench and place it in the lower portion of the key opening. Apply minor pressure in which direction if you had it, you should change the switch.

If you exert so much strain, you’ll only tie the driver pins below the shear edge. You need to provide enough to make the driver pins lift above the shear line. Only give enough pressure that a drive pin’s edge hits the plug when it begins spinning as they start going down. If the tension wrench twists a bunch, then you can apply too much energy. So sit on the hand to use less weight than more.

Insert Pick at the Top of the Lock

Choose your pick. I choose the rake from Bogota, which has three ridges. This one picked up any lock I used on quickly. Slip right the rake sideways the entire keyhole route.

Apply Slight Torque to Your Wrench, Scrub Your Pick in the Keyhole

Begin to add mild pressure to the tension wrench. Continue to rake or scrub inside the socket with your pick at your right hand. When you draw back the pick, raise quickly to put pressure on the sticks.

Repeat Until the Pins Are Set

Continue to add torque to the wrench and clean the pins before they are attached. With your pick, you might need to add more pressure and tension to the pins when you get down to the last one or two pins you need to pick. When you do not see much improvement, you’ve typically used the wrench with too much torque. Take it easy; let the pins reset, restart, and concentrate on not exerting too much energy. 

You can pick many pins and tumbler locks effectively using this scrubbing process. You should have no problem following these steps on how to pick a liquor cabinet lock.

How to Pick a Liquor Cabinet Lock with Paper Clips

Flatten out two pieces of the paper clips. Stretch one clip of paper into an ‘L’ form, and stretch the other to mimic a pick from a dentist, with a slight curve at the end. 

Place the ‘dentist pick’ into the lock of the drawer, with upward and curve. Move the cabinet lock back before it goes through no more. 

Place the ‘L’ safety pin under the ‘dentist pick’ with pointing downward. 

To push the pin outside of the lock place, click the dentist pick. To keep the first pin in place using the L paper clip. Go to the next button, click the dentist select again upwards. The paper clip L will carry the next lock. Continue this cycle until you disable all the pins. It will require many attempts to accomplish and keep each pin in a place to release the lock of the cabinet.
