How To Pick a Lock With A Screwdriver
Are you feeling daring and adventurous? Picking a lock with a screwdriver is a great skill to have in case you ever get locked out of your house or car and you don’t have a lock pick. With the right tools and instructions, you’ll be able to pick a lock with just a screwdriver at home! Here’s how.
What You’ll Need
- Small flat-head screwdriver
- A Phillips head screwdriver
- Small hammer
- Lubricating oil
Instructions
- Start by lubricating the lock with lubricating oil or WD-40.
- Using the small hammer, tap the flat-head screwdriver into the lock’s keyhole. This is to make sure the keyhole is aligned properly.
- Once the keyhole is aligned, insert the Phillips head screwdriver into the keyhole and start turning the screwdriver clockwise.
- If you feel resistance, insert the flat-head screwdriver into the keyhole and turn it counter-clockwise. This helps to balance the pressure in the lock and make the turning of the Phillips head screwdriver easier.
- Continue to turn the Phillips head screwdriver until you hear a click.
- This means the lock has been picked. Slowly pull the lock open and remove the screwdriver.
Congratulations, you have just picked a lock with a screwdriver! Although this method is not foolproof and quite difficult to do correctly, it can be used as a last resort when no other options are available. However, it is still highly recommended to use a professional locksmith service if you ever get locked out of your house or car.
Remember to always practice safety when attempting to pick a lock on your own, and it’s best to consult a professional in more serious situations. Have fun and stay safe!
