The technique to pick a door lock is not easy since you have to develop a "feel" for it. Though each lock is different, the basic technique is the same. Here we would like to give you tutorials for how to pick a lock using the easiest way called scrubbing. Here we go:

Step 1. Prepare a tension wrench and insert it into the bottom of the keyhole.  The tension wrench is important since it helps the driver pin past the shear line and make the plug rotate. Make a slight pressure in the direction where you would turn the key. Avoid too much pressure.
Step 2. Insert pick or other items straight into at the top of the lock.
Step 3. Apply slight pressure on your tension wrench, then scrub inside of the plug using your pick.
Step 4. Repeat applying pressure and scrubbing the pins until they are set.

How to Pick a Lock with a Bobby Pin

Another alternative for how to pick a lock is using 2 bobby pins. Here's the way to picklock with a bobby pin:

Step 1. Start by pulling apart one of the bobby pins to make it a long plat piece. This will be inserted into the lock and used to move the pins.

Step 2. Now, insert the pin into the lock with the flat side facing up. Push the pin to the left and bend the pin slightly.

Step 3. Take one end of the pick ad to bend a half back until it creates a small loop.

Step 4. Then, bend a whole bobby pin into the right angle

Step 5. Push each of the pins into the right position and turn the barrel slowly. When the pins are out, the barrel will also turn freely and the door will be open
