The ability to work with a master key is "aerobatics" in the field of opening locking devices without a key. Unlike rough burglary, door picks often do not damage the lock, making it possible to use it in the future, opening it with your own key. Manipulative autopsy has always impressed people watching this process from the outside. However, many do not even think that this spectacular business may be more affordable, one has only to show patience and dexterity.

What is required for successful picking?

Anyone can learn how to work with a master key against weakly protected locking devices. For this, some special skills are not required, but to go through the locks of the 3rd and 4th classes of protection is a real skill. To open well-protected locks with a master key, it is not enough to have a suitable tool at hand, you need to have the necessary set skills and abilities that need to be constantly honed.

We make a set of master keys with our own hands

Buying lockpicks from an online store is quite expensive. Plus, the factory lock picks do not always have all the necessary tools, not to mention their quality. Therefore, we initially do not look for easy ways, trying to make the necessary master keys on our own. To make our first master keys, we need:

1. emery;
2. a set of files and files (which will have to be spoiled);
3. screwdriwer set;
4. vise and pliers;
5. hammer;
6. and most importantly brains and straight arms.

In addition to the specified list, you will also need templates for making various master keys. But they can be found quite easily on the Internet, so we will not talk about them in detail. Now we need to take a set of files and files and turn it into a set of master keys by modifying their sharp metal handles. The fact is that files and files are made of durable tool steel, which means that the master keys will be durable and withstand significant loads.

• First, let's make hook-shaped picks. Checking the configuration of the rod in accordance with the template, we process the tip of the file handle, giving it the desired shape. Then, very carefully holding the file in a vice, bend it with pliers at the desired angle. We do the same with other hook-shaped unlocking devices, you will have three of them.
• Now we will make a master key with a clove at the end, designed to lift the pins of the cylinder lock. To do this, we find the template of the corresponding master key and determine the size of the prong. Then we grind down the thick part of the file handle on emery, leaving a part that looks like a tooth. Now we clamp our workpiece in a vice and process it with a file to give a prong the desired shape without forgetting to grind sharp edges.
• Next, we will make a comb-pick. We take the files and grind several indentations on its handle with the help of a second file, so that teeth are obtained. The template will help us with the dimensions.

Important! The dimensions and fit of the teeth are often difficult to achieve on a workpiece with just a file and a ruler, so be prepared to ruin a single pick before you get something worthwhile.

In addition to the above set of picks, we need a good tensioner and roll. The tensioner can be made quite simply from a bent hex key, the edges of which must be sharpened on emery. We will make the convolution from a screwdriver with a rod of a suitable thickness, bending it with a hammer at the desired angle.

Basics of picking a cylinder lock

To open the cylinder lock, we need a tensioner and a master key with a tooth at the end. First, we insert the tensioner into the keyhole and try to turn the larva towards the opening, creating tension. Then we insert a master key with a prong into the lock and try to catch the first pin. The lock responds to each of our actions with light clicks, so listen carefully and respond correctly.

Our first task, without removing tension from the cylinder, hook the first pin, giving it a position corresponding to the opening. As soon as this succeeds, the cylinder will move a little, then the next pin is next in line, and so on until the lock opens. Quite rarely, it is possible to open the lock after the first brute-force of pins, so after going through a number of secret elements once, do not hesitate to try again. The second time it will work out for sure.

Remember! When manipulating the master key in the cylinder, you need to be extremely careful, because the larva inside is rather fragile.

We open the lever lock using a master key

When opening a lever lock with a master key, it is also very important to feel the secret mechanism with your fingers. After all, you cannot look inside, and heavy plates must be properly lifted, while leaving a deadbolt in tension. All this requires a fair amount of training. But if there is a desire to learn, then why not?

For manipulative opening of the leveler, we need a tensioner made of a flat screwdriver bent at a right angle and a hook-shaped master key of suitable sizes. It is better to grind the tip of the lockpick hook, and spray WD-40 liquid into the keyhole of the locking device of interest to us. It will facilitate the movement of the plates.

We introduce the screwdriver-tensioner into the keyhole to the end and turn it towards the opening of the lock. Keeping the bolt in tension, insert the hook-shaped master key and begin to catch the first plate. As soon as we succeed in this, we raise it, at the same time trying to make a turnover. Next, we catch the second plate, then the third, and so on until the lock opens.

In conclusion, we note that everyone should know the basics of manipulative opening of locking devices. good host... Well, you can make master keys for locks with your own hands. It takes interest, dedication and years of training to become a top-notch expert in this field. But in order to find a way out of life situation related to the castle, in most cases it is enough to know the basics!

A master key is a tool that has not only and not so much a criminal purpose. The use of lock picks is quite widespread within the framework of the methods for examining the security of locks, if it is necessary to open the door after losing the key, in forensic procedures. Lockpicks are used not only by thieves, as is commonly believed, but also by locksmiths, mechanics, rescuers, even just people who are in a difficult situation associated with the need to enter their own home in an emergency.

Knowing how to use master keys is useful not only for people who decide to embark on a criminal path, but also for everyone who, in certain situations, will need to enter a locked room. Using a master key is a fairly standard procedure when opening a lock, the "native" key of which is broken or lost. The pick has a significant advantage over the power methods of opening locks - kinetic, vibration, implying damage to the door or the locking mechanism itself.

To determine how to make a master key for the lock, you need to understand the material at least superficially. There are the following types of locks, unlocked with a master key: Finnish or disk; cylinder; levers; electronic locks; primitive locks - latches and latches. Each of the above types of locks can be opened with a master key. It is believed that with the modern variety of locking mechanisms, the uniqueness of each lock and the use of new technologies, master keys can no longer cope with their tasks. In practice, most locks can be broken with one or more picks.

Before making a master key, you should make sure that the necessary tool, materials and skills. The creation of a master key will require: a machine or a sharpener, as a last resort, a drill; abrasive wheel; folding metal meter; metal hexagon for the knob; test object - a lock cylinder of the required type; vise or other mechanical lock. With the set of the above tools, you can create both simple master keys for padlocks or disc locks, and more complex devices designed for unlocking locks with embossed keys.

To understand how to open the lock with master keys, you must have general idea about the purpose of certain instruments and the "boundaries of what is possible" for them. The flat pick works on window latches and locks without locking or with weak locking. The wire hook is suitable for Finnish locks and simple cylindrical models. A key blank is a type of master key that mimics a common key shape for certain types of locks. Typesetting keys - for complex locks. Electronic lock pick - with vibration for simple keys and with a magnetic element for electric locks.

When creating and using master keys, it is worth remembering that the legislation of the Russian Federation implies the licensing of such activities, opening other people's doors without a license will be considered very unequivocally.

Master key- a specialized tool used to open locks without a key using the manipulation method. Master keys are any tools, keys, or several various instruments, which are used for emergency opening of locks using the manipulation method. Manipulation is a method of picking mechanical locks that uses the tolerances of the lock mechanism to determine the combination. A process typically applied to combination locks to determine the operational status of the lock, a combination for the purpose of attempting to open the lock. When opening a lock, several master keys are often used at once. Depending on the type and complexity of the castle, they are used different kinds lock picks: wire hooks, modified key blanks for opening by the impression method, typesetting keys.

Long gone are the days when one could not be afraid of thieves and leave doors wide open or prop them up with a light wooden bolt. Modern hosts buy powerful steel doors and install two or even three locking devices in them. But often even this does not help to preserve hard-earned property. This is because burglars have become not only smarter, more cunning and more numerous, but have acquired a full arsenal of hacking tools.

They say, "you need to know the enemy by sight." However, if this enemy is well armed, it is desirable to have an idea of ​​his weapon. Let's see what picks for locks can be found in the pockets of an ordinary bugbear (burglar) and how these "things" are dangerous for our doors, and therefore our safety.

A common lock pick is the most common and versatile picking tool. Helps to cope with various types of cylinder and lever locking devices, including increased secrecy. Lockpicks are inexpensive (the average price of one piece is about 300 rubles, full set can be bought at a price of 1,500 rubles), are compact, and besides, they are easy to make on their own from improvised materials (in some cases, even a hairpin or an unbent paper clip can serve as a master key).

Another type of pick for locks is the same blanks for keys, but with barbs cut into them, the location of which opens quite wide range locks of the same type. Or, in general, ordinary keys (for example, for cylindrical locks), just a little thinner than the "native" key.

The only drawback is that a beginner who has never opened a door with a master key will not be able to use it. However, mastering this criminal art is not that difficult. As practice shows, a person of average giftedness becomes a professional burglar in just a few months, or even weeks. Learning information is easy to find: the Internet is literally "stuffed" theoretical aids and a video on the use of all kinds of master keys and their manufacture. There would be a desire.

Mechanical and electrical lock picks for quick hacking (Multilock, Gunn Peak, Electropic) will cost more (cost from 5,000 rubles), but they are much easier to use. There is no need for any special skills or time to work out the hacking technology - just read the short instruction manual for the device, choose the right attachment and start criminal activity. Even a modern lock cannot withstand the powerful pressure of a cunning device: 15-20 minutes of almost silent operation, and the door is open. See for yourself:

Threaded rods are perfect for breaking any cylinder and disc locks. They do not require any special skills: the criminal simply screw them into the keyhole one by one, as a result of which the cylinder bursts and the door opens. Quiet, fast, convenient.

The puller for pulling out cylinders does not open the lock, like a master key, but simply "puts on" the keyhole and pulls interior cylinder. The method is very effective for doors with serious armor plates, and only chinese doors and do go "in years". No special skills are required, there is also almost no noise - beauty, and nothing more.

Using a roll is no more difficult than screwing: just drive this "magic key" made of high-strength steel into the keyhole (the photo shows that it looks very much like an ordinary key) and turn it wrench... The lock is broken, the way is clear! In some cases, the well is pre-expanded with a drill or drill (the second option is suitable if you need to "observe silence" during work).

Convolutions - universal "magic keys" made of high-strength steel

As you can see, there is a prudent robber in the arsenal of a large number of all kinds of devices that perfectly cope with locks different types and degrees of secrecy.

Bumping the lock

Today we will talk about picks from what and how to make them.
What do we need for this:
1.drill or machine tool, or better sharpener
2.Image circle (if only a drill) Photo1
3.For sale meter refer to Photo2 or suitable plate thickness
0.5-0.7mm (the main thing is that it is made of good metal and not
too bent, for example a knife, a hardened plate or a spring of suitable size)
from it we will make the master key itself.
4. a small hexagon from it we will make a crank
5.experienced (any suitable disguise from the castle, but preferably some Korean
since it's easier to start a workout)
6.desk (without them it will be very inconvenient)
7.Patience and hands out the right place
Let's start
First you need to choose which master key we want to make (there is a huge selection)
We will do one of the three simplest and most common
We disassemble the meter for this, we need to grind off the rivets on the sides, but do not throw them away
we still need it, see. Photo3
The next stage is the processing of the meter link, we process it according to the dimensions given in Photo4
Processing is carried out using a stone attachment, see. Photo1 the main thing is not to overheat the meter link
Too long working part should not be done, as it can break, but we need everything
For the master key to reach the last soldier, see. Photo5

After we have made the master keys, we need to grind them, this is done in order to
they did not cling to anything, so that someone would not speak, and it is easier to work with polished master keys
(opening locks with master keys is a very subtle science)
Now we fasten the ready-made master keys, three pieces at a time, with the same rivets, but we do not need to fasten them
as it is more convenient for you, see Photos6
The next thing we will do is a pusher, it is needed to give a rotary
efforts to lock
We take hexagon 3 or a suitable bar from good metal and make a "poker" see. Photos7
You can also make a pusher from a key, see. Photos8 we just delete the work part
we leave only the upper part of the key.

Now let's look at other types of locks , master keys to them and methods of opening without master keys.
Let's start in order
The first one we'll look at is Finnish castle so-called disk
with semicircular keys... It usually opens in two ways.
1. Convolution it is made from nozzles (bits) of the KRAFTOOL company or similar
well-known companies, but not from such as STAYER and similar consumer goods
You can make it from rods of a good alloy, it is checked by the poke method
The best thing, of course, is to make it out of titanium, you can get it from turners and process it there.
Looks like a convolution see. Photo9 as a blank key with a hexagon at the end under the head
Processing bits with the same stone, see. Photo1 and most importantly the bit temperature during processing
should not exceed 80 degrees, as this will lead to metal tempering
after processing, the finished roll must be sanded, this is done so that it does not break
imagine if you make a scratch on the glass and hit it, then the glass will break in this
the place on the roll is the same if there is a scratch, then it will roll up in this place
checked!
Well, everyone understands how to use it. We insert the roll all the way into the lock, put on the head
And turn it clockwise.
2.Using a puller. Self-tapping bolts are purchased. Self-tapping screws are screwed into discs
all the way so that the head of the bolt protrudes from the lock by a centimeter, this is done in order to
the puller is hooked. The puller looks like this. Photos10
in the same way, you can open an English lock (pin)
Consider padlocks
Well, it's all just there is no point in opening the padlocks if it can be bypassed
We take an adjustable wrench 40 centimeters long, the longer the easier it is to wield it
We clamp one of the darlings of the door and bend it.
Bambing this method was invented back in 1950, it was based on simple method
We all played billiards, if we hit ball 1, then we give it an impulse to hit
Ball 1 hitting 2, the ball stops, and 2 begins to move
As we know u cylinder locks there are two soldiers in each cell
If we hit the upper soldiers, they will remain in place and the lower ones will go to
bottom all the way for a few nano seconds if at this moment we start to turn
then the lock will open it is not difficult as it seems the first time.
According to this method, spring pistols were invented that hit the soldiers.
But more recently, they came up with a brilliant thing BUMP-key, how to make it, see. Photos11
Now I will explain the meaning of the alteration
We need to open the lock, no matter what good company we get the key from the same
the lock we grind the grooves to the maximum length of the secret, now we grind the nose
and the emphasis of the key, this is done so that the key after we have inserted it
left a gap between the key and the cylinder 0.5-1.0mm now if we hit
the end of the key, it will go 0.5-1.0mm into the cylinder forcing the soldiers to go down
forward energy to the lower soldiers and at this moment we turn the key.
In this way, you can even open Mul-T-Lock and absolutely any cylindrical locks.
with vertical and horizontal slicing of secrets
Good luck in your endeavors !!!

Many of us have faced a situation in our life when it becomes necessary to open a lock without a key. For example, you go out to throw out the trash, and the door of your apartment slams, the keys remain on the shelf inside the apartment. Or when the car keys are forgotten in the trunk. There are a lot of such cases. In many cases, the problem can be solved by a specialist who knows how to work with master keys. In this article, we will consider the option of opening the cylinder lock mechanism, as well as opening a lever-type lock using master keys.

A warning

Opening the castle

Opening the cylinder lock

A simple, cheap cylinder lock can be opened using whatever tools are available in seconds, almost as quickly as using a key. This is true. Moreover, after tinkering for a few minutes, you can open it even without much experience, and it is quite possible that you will cope with this task the first time. Two tools are used for opening. This is an "L" -shaped tension bar and the actual master key - a flat plate with a ledge.

Position one - the lock is locked, pins, they are also pins, (No. 1) keep the cylinder locked. The cylinders are arranged in a row, one is shown in the section. Position 2 - a key (no. 2) inserted into the lock lowers the pins to the required distance - note that the border of the pins and the border of the cylinders coincide and now the cylinder can be freely rotated. What if there is no key? Proceed to position number 3. With the tensioning bar (number 3) you create a light, precisely calculated tension in the lock by turning the cylinder towards the opening. With a master key (No. 4), the pins are alternately immersed to the stop and released. In this case (Figure 4) the cylinder moves slightly on each pin, and the pins get stuck. And the cylinder (Figure 5) turns, no worse than a key. Let me remind you once again - if you press too lightly on the cylinder, the pins will snap into place without stopping. If it is too strong, it will get stuck in the depths of the castle and will not snap into place. This does not always work - since dastardly locks go to various tricks - for example, the pins are made in the form of the letter T. In this case, you have to personally push each pin separately or act on several at once, for which the option of a master key with several bends is intended. In particular difficult cases, as already mentioned, a situation may arise in which you have to grope each pin separately and set the Opening of cylinders. A simple, cheap cylinder lock can be opened using whatever tools are available in seconds, almost as quickly as using a key. This is true. Moreover, after tinkering for a few minutes, you can open it even without much experience, and it is quite possible that you will cope with this task the first time. Two tools are used for opening. This is an "L" -shaped tension bar and the actual master key - a flat plate with a ledge. This is how it looks:

The protrusion on the edge of the pick should be of such a size that it would completely sink the pin inside the hole, and at the same time should not touch others. Along the width, the master key should leave in cylinder mechanism(in the part of the lock where there are no pins) there is enough space for the tension bar, which is needed in order to create an interference fit on the cylinder itself. Insert the tensioning bar into the hole and lightly press on it while turning the lock towards the opening. Naturally, the cylinder will not turn, but tension will arise. Now, while holding the tightness, insert the pick into the lock and quickly slide it over the pins, alternately sinking them into the lock mechanism. The essence of the method is that no lock can be perfectly accurate. There is always a tiny margin of error. And when the pin takes its place, the cylinder, due to the fact that you press on it with the tension bar, will shift to the side by a fraction of a millimeter. And the pin will get stuck in the open position. And then the second, and so on. and now they are all lined up in a row and the castle is open. Of course, if you did everything right, the lock will open, because you only need to underpress the tension bar and pins without any friction to return to their places, but if you squeeze them, they will go down and stay there. It is precisely in the calculation of pressing the tension bar that the basis of work with a master key is. But with a little practice, a simple cylinder will open.

Scheme of work with master keys

The first position - the lock is locked, pins, they are pins, (No. 1) keep the cylinder locked. All cylinders are arranged in a row, only one cylinder is shown in the section. Position 2 - a key (no. 2) inserted into the lock lowers the pins to the required distance - note that the border of the pins and the border of the cylinders coincide and now the cylinder can be freely rotated. What if there is no key? Proceed to position number 3. With the tensioning bar (number 3) you create a light, precisely calculated tension in the lock by turning the cylinder towards the opening. With a master key (No. 4), the pins are alternately immersed to the stop and released. In this case (Figure 4) the cylinder moves slightly on each pin, and the pins get stuck. And the cylinder (Figure 5) turns, no worse than a key. Let me remind you once again - if you press too lightly on the cylinder, the pins will snap into place without stopping. If it is too strong, it will get stuck in the depths of the castle and will not snap into place. This does not always work - since dastardly locks go to various tricks - for example, the pins are made in the form of the letter T. In this case, you have to personally push each pin separately or act on several at once, for which the option of a master key with several bends is intended. In especially difficult cases, as already mentioned, a situation may arise in which you have to grope each pin separately and set it to the desired level, which requires skill and good skills, the ability to feel the lock, which will come only with great experience.

How to open a lever lock with master keys

Opening a lever type lock with master keys

Opening the castle, with proper dexterity, can be opened using special lockpicks. For this, use L-shaped plates and hooks. It is thanks to the complex manipulations with them that it is possible to lift all the plates of the secret mechanism. Accordingly, the larger the levers, and the more precisely they are made, the higher the secrecy of the castle and the more difficult open the lock... It would seem that everything is simple, but this is far from the case. In addition to the dexterity and sensitivity of hands, a professional must thoroughly understand the interior of the lock, know its features, feel the "answer", that is, understand what is happening inside during its manipulations. Experience comes over the years. And in reality, there are very few specialists in this area. For lack of factory master keys, open the lock as much as possible simple device- two pieces of strong wire bent at right angles. These are two wire hooks that are inserted into the lock at the same time. One master key plays the role of a tension bar - with it you hook the lock bolt and try to turn it in the direction of opening. This, as in the case of the cylinder, creates friction and you can move the lever plates, one at a time, with the second pick. Like pins in a cylinder, they will snap into place and get stuck in the right position when correct pressure on the lock. The tolerances in the manufacture of the lock work in the same way as in the cylinder. In the suction lock, you will have to maintain a uniform tension for a long time and manipulate each plate separately. It is better to train on a simple lock, in the body of which a hole is made, allowing you to see what is happening inside, until you learn to "see" the lock with your fingers.
