In this week’s Learn Quick, I attempt to learn to pick a lock with paper clips. Can this actually be done like it is in the movies?

Thanks. Between your video and the first one I found…. https://youtu.be/8lQJlWmR1Ko I can now pick cheap locks. Great deal, thank you.
Fast action locks you cant pick unless you can make the instrument close to the speed of sound
So for the technique you're describing, which is raking essentially. Your best bet is to make a wave rake. Simple, yet effective.. for most locks. You made a hook which is mostly for single pin picking which takes a lot of practice and finesse. Better for tougher locks, but much harder to master. You did very well considering.
Im over the moon rn. Just managed to unpick the lock to my uni room after locking my keys in there, used two hair clips from a friend and couldn't believe it when it opened, never picked a lock before today but remembered this video from last year and it worked!
I know youll never see this but I'm so relieved rn I just had to come back and pay my thanks.
You can always trust the movies.

the phone he used is a samsung note 8
it was very helpful. Really I am proud of this trick as it saved me from a huge problem. I was not able to open the lock of my bird's cage as it's key was lost. And then I saw this video which really inspired me gave me courage. I got really afraid when I was nit able to find the key.
"Just to prove it was not a fluke" ah, I can recognize a man of culture when I see one 😉
I take it you're left handed? I did the same thing when i was trying this out!
First time picking a lock for a friend IRL I turned the core the wrong way. I feel that pain, man.
As soon as the music kicked in around 1:10, my brain said "Hey guys, Spirit of the Law here…" (it's an Age of Empires channel, which always uses the same music)…. totally cool 😀
It is very possible to pick a lock with paper clips but I highly feel it depends on the type of lock you’re picking. Less durable locks are much easier I feel
No, I can't.

A few years ago I came home from school to find I had lost my house key, it was freezing cold and if I hadnt gotten inside I would have had to go to a neighbors house, but I sat out there and picked the lock with some paperclips in my school bag and got in! this is a good skill to know if you get locked out and only have limited resources.
I only have one question:
Where the fuck do people find paperclips that big. Like for real, every single paper clip in my entire house is barely half as big as my thumb and in the part where you presented the paper clips they looked at least twice as large as mine
fer gods sake meichel
TLDR yes with thicker stronger paper clips it’s hard though
Hi
Hello everyone, I Use paperclips as Lockpicks and they work somewhat good, i never had a REAL Lockpick or Lockpick kit in my life, but it's a good substitute in case you can't afford it or whatever other reason. I Learnt to lockpick today, with normal paperclips, and i opened my first lock 4 times without changing them (It wasn't a practice lock and wasn't transparent). So yeah, i recommend Paperclips to BEGIN and PRACTICE Lockpicking
Edit: Spelling
37% of Criminals have watched this…
I think police invented those fancy tools so naive thieves would carry it. Why aren't picking tools be camouflaged??
Using your teeth is utterly stupid behaviour and bad example….maybe locked in a room with access to the lock
opening and in fear of life, broken teeth might be excusable…if it all actually works…here no excuse for that example.
lol @ "muppet"
hopeless lol
Former Locksmith:
Wife locked me out, I got in with a paperclip and a piece of wood as a tension tool.
She was not happy.
😆
for god sake michael… lol
dude you are probably the only guy that i would want to try and pick my front door lock when i leave in a hurry you'd just end up locking it.
it went fast went you turned it the right way
Next tip : ho I escape death
One of the picks you keep showing is not a pick, but a broken key extractor…
I like the phoenix wright ost lol
Me and two of my friends learned how to lockpick a simple padlock like the one at the end of your video in a single car ride. We just brute forced our way to finding out how to do it. Kind of scary how easy it is to get by some of the things that we rely on so heavily.
"A rittle more" – classic!!
there was this time where my parents lost the key to our house and I told them maybe I can pick the lock of the door 2 minutes later we were in also thank you Mike cause I learned it from you 🙂
IDK HOW! But through shear dumb luck, I managed to make a lock pick out of a paper clip and unlock a lock with only ONE PAPERCLIP! ONE FRIGGIN PAPERCLIP!!! OMG! (Blew my own mind)
I recorded and uploaded a video to my channel to show the pick I made and that it works!
