ohh u posted here too.  i thought i clicked on the wrong hyperlink..


tools.  lockpicking sets are the best but can be expensive.  depending on the type of lock, tiny screwdrivers, saftey pins etc work.  for electronic locks, a very strong battery powered electromagnet can sometimes be used to screw up the lock so it unlocks..  like i said in the other post, u'll find much more information by googling it than asking the motor heads here.. :mrgreen:

a friend of  mine is really good at picking locks and is self educated, he has a 4 or 5 piece set that it just a few little picks.  i think its made by southbend or something.

Be very careful as if your not a licensed locksmith it can be considered possession of burglary tools, check your local laws.

Ebay! They have them...I picked up a set a while back and someone lifted them from me before I had a chance to play with them. I had a really sweet set that I paid like $9.00. Just do a search and you'll find them. :thumb:

www.lockmasters.com is where I get my safecracking equipment for work.  They have all kinds of stuff for automotive and regular lockpicking.  You can make pretty good money just unlocking doors for people that lock their keys in the car.  Most of the best tools are restricted though so you will have to go to school to order them so check out www.lsieducation.com.
