Lockpicking

=Lockpicking=

[[Image:Lockwiki_Vachette_VIP_picked.jpg|thumb|text-top|right|300px|A Vachette VIP [[Cylinder|cylinder]] that has been picked.]]

Lockpicking is the art of opening a [[Lock|lock]] through the analysis and manipulation of its components without using a [[Key|key]] intended to open the lock. The process is generally non-destructive and [[Covert Entry|covert]], and is contrasted with various forms of [[Destructive Entry|destructive entry]]. When dealing with the opening of [[Safe|safes]] or vaults, it is referred to as [[Safecracking|safecracking]]. A [[Bypass|bypass]] is technically different than picking the lock, though there are many similarities between the two techniques.

Lockpicking is made possible by small irregularities during the manufacturing of locks. Small variations in the size, shape, and alignment of components allows for picking tools to be used to pick the lock. Depending on the type of lock, different methods of picking may be available.

The practice of recreational or competitive lockpicking is known as [[locksport]].

__TOC__

==History==

Add to me!

==Picking Methods==

There are various methods used to successfully pick a lock. There is no "right" way to pick; every lockpicker has their own preference. The most common types of picking are listed:

;Single Component Picking
:A pick designed to manipulate individual components is used. Single pin picking focuses on the irregularities of each individual component to determine the order of [[Binding|binding]] and proper position of each component. Commonly referred to as single "pin" picking, but applicable to non-pin locks, too. Though many pick types are suitable, the classic hook shaped pick is most appropriate.

;[[Raking]]
:A pick designed to manipulate many (or all) components is used. Raking focuses on rapidly varying the position of components in the lock to simulate a wide variety of key depths. Raking is especially effective if the proper position of components is in a predictable pattern, such as a staircase. Picks specifically designed for raking are known as rakes.

;[[Pick_Gun|Pick Guns]]
:A pick gun is designed to hit the bottom of all pins and transfer energy to the pin stacks to allow for rapid opening of the lock mechanism. Vibration picks fall into this same category.

;[[Bumping|Bump Keys]]
:A key with depth cuts to the lowest positions. Key bumping is a fundamental problem in most pin tumbler locks that allows for energy transfer between the bump key and the pin stacks to allow for rapid opening of the lock mechanism. This is similar in function to the use of a pick gun.

;[[Tryout_Keys|Tryout Keys]]
:A set of keys modified to different depth positions. Tryout keys take advantage of poor tolerances in locking components. While most locks represent themselves as having a large amount of theoretical [[Differs|key differs]], some have very few due to poor tolerances.

;[[Comb_Pick|Comb Picks]]
:A pin-tumbler pick designed to move all pin stacks out of their blocking position by pushing them into the cylinder chambers, allowing the plug to rotate freely.

;[[Impressioning]]
:The process of duplicating or otherwise simulating the action of a proper key for the target lock. Impression can take many forms, some of which are not strictly classified as lockpicking.

;[[Decoding]]
:The process of decoding the position of internal components either through manipulation of components, disassembly of the lock, or analysis of the key. Decoding can take many forms, most of which are not strictly classified as lockpicking.

==Tools Used==

[[Image:Lockwiki_Pin-tumbler_picks.jpg|thumb|text-top|right|200px|A standard set of [[Pin_tumbler|pin-tumbler]] lockpicking tools.]]

The specific tools used to open the look depend on the [[Lock#Lock_Designs|design of the lock]] and the preferences of the lockpicker.

Traditional picking of most locks involves both a [[Picks|pick]] and [[Tension|tension tool]]. The pick is used to manipulate internal components to their unlocked position and the tension tool is used to hold the components in place and retract the locking bolt once the lock is picked. When all components are in the unlocked position the lock is free to open and considered picked. This applies to pin-tumbler, tubular/axial, dimple, and lever locks.

Most forms of lock picking are [[covert entry|covert]] rather than [[surreptitious entry|surreptitious]] as minor scarring can occur to the face and pins of the lock that can aid in [[Forensics|forensic]] analysis.

[[Warded]] locks are distinct because they do not require a tension tool to be picked; only the picking tool is used.

[[Combination]] locks generally do not require tools unless they are a hybrid locking design. Most combination locks are opened with [[decoding]] or [[bypass]] rather than picking.

[[Handcuff]] locks are best picked with a bobby pin that has been bent into a specific shape. While they are possible to pick with a traditional short hook, that is not as efficient and in some cases will damage the pick.

[[Image:Handcuff_pick.jpg|thumb|text-top|right|200px|A typical [[Handcuff]] pick.]]

==Legality==
:''See [[Legal Issues]].''

==Lockpicking in the Media==

Lockpicking has been portrayed in many television shows and films. Often techniques and tools are incorrect, with the most common mistake being the lack of a tension tool. In most cases the lock is picked almost instantly, which misrepresents the difficulty and skill involved in picking the majority of locks.

:A pick designed to manipulate many (or all) components is used. Raking focuses on rapidly varying the position of components in the lock to simulate a wide variety of key depths. Raking is especially effective if the proper position of components is in a predictable pattern, such as a staircase. Picks specifically designed for raking are known as rakes.

;[[Pick_Gun|Pick Guns]]
:A pick gun is designed to hit the bottom of all pins and transfer energy to the pin stacks to allow for rapid opening of the lock mechanism. Vibration picks fall into this same category.

;[[Bumping|Bump Keys]]
:A key with depth cuts to the lowest positions. Key bumping is a fundamental problem in most pin tumbler locks that allows for energy transfer between the bump key and the pin stacks to allow for rapid opening of the lock mechanism. This is similar in function to the use of a pick gun.

;[[Tryout_Keys|Tryout Keys]]
:A set of keys modified to different depth positions. Tryout keys take advantage of poor tolerances in locking components. While most locks represent themselves as having a large amount of theoretical [[Differs|key differs]], some have very few due to poor tolerances.

;[[Comb_Pick|Comb Picks]]
:A pin-tumbler pick designed to move all pin stacks out of their blocking position by pushing them into the cylinder chambers, allowing the plug to rotate freely.

;[[Impressioning]]
:The process of duplicating or otherwise simulating the action of a proper key for the target lock. Impression can take many forms, some of which are not strictly classified as lockpicking.

;[[Decoding]]
:The process of decoding the position of internal components either through manipulation of components, disassembly of the lock, or analysis of the key. Decoding can take many forms, most of which are not strictly classified as lockpicking.

==Tools Used==

[[Image:Lockwiki_Pin-tumbler_picks.jpg|thumb|text-top|right|200px|A standard set of [[Pin_tumbler|pin-tumbler]] lockpicking tools.]]

The specific tools used to open the look depend on the [[Lock#Lock_Designs|design of the lock]] and the preferences of the lockpicker.

Traditional picking of most locks involves both a [[Picks|pick]] and [[Tension|tension tool]]. The pick is used to manipulate internal components to their unlocked position and the tension tool is used to hold the components in place and retract the locking bolt once the lock is picked. When all components are in the unlocked position the lock is free to open and considered picked. This applies to pin-tumbler, tubular/axial, dimple, and lever locks.

Most forms of lock picking are [[covert entry|covert]] rather than [[surreptitious entry|surreptitious]] as minor scarring can occur to the face and pins of the lock that can aid in [[Forensics|forensic]] analysis.

[[Warded]] locks are distinct because they do not require a tension tool to be picked; only the picking tool is used.

[[Combination]] locks generally do not require tools unless they are a hybrid locking design. Most combination locks are opened with [[decoding]] or [[bypass]] rather than picking.

[[Handcuff]] locks are best picked with a bobby pin that has been bent into a specific shape. While they are possible to pick with a traditional short hook, this is not as efficient and in some case will lead to damage of the pick.

==Lockpicking in the Media==

Lockpicking has been portrayed in many television shows and films. Often techniques and tools are incorrect, with the most common mistake being the lack of a tension tool. In most cases the lock is picked almost instantly, which misrepresents the difficulty and skill involved in picking the majority of locks.

Lockpicking is the art of opening a [[Lock|lock]] through the analysis and manipulation of its components without using a [[Key|key]] intended to open the lock. The process is generally non-destructive and [[Covert Entry|covert]], and is contrasted with various forms of [[Destructive Entry|destructive entry]]. When dealing with the opening of [[Safe|safes]] or vaults, it is referred to as [[Safecracking|safecracking]]. A [[Bypass|bypass]] is technically different than picking the lock, though there are many similarities between the two techniques.

Lockpicking is made possible by small irregularities during the manufacturing of locks. Small variations in the size, shape, and alignment of components allows for picking tools to be used to pick the lock. Depending on the type of lock, different methods of picking may be available.

The practice of recreational or competitive lockpicking is known as [[locksport]].

==History==

Add to me!

==Picking Methods==

There are various methods used to successfully pick a lock. There is no "right" way to pick; every lockpicker has their own preference. The most common types of picking are listed:

;Single Component Picking
:A pick designed to manipulate individual components is used. Single pin picking focuses on the irregularities of each individual component to determine the order of [[Binding|binding]] and proper position of each component. Commonly referred to as single "pin" picking, but applicable to non-pin locks, too. Though many pick types are suitable, the classic hook shaped pick is most appropriate.

;[[Raking]]
:A pick designed to manipulate many (or all) components is used. Raking focuses on rapidly varying the position of components in the lock to simulate a wide variety of key depths. Raking is especially effective if the proper position of components is in a predictable pattern, such as a staircase. Picks specifically designed for raking are known as rakes.

;[[Pick_Gun|Pick Guns]]
:A pick gun is designed to hit the bottom of all pins and transfer energy to the pin stacks to allow for rapid opening of the lock mechanism. Vibration picks fall into this same category.

;[[Bumping|Bump Keys]]
:A key with depth cuts to the lowest positions. Key bumping is a fundamental problem in most pin tumbler locks that allows for energy transfer between the bump key and the pin stacks to allow for rapid opening of the lock mechanism. This is similar in function to the use of a pick gun.

}}

The S&G 8077 is an updated version of the 8088 and was the first padlock to meet Federal Specification FF-P-110J.<ref>{{Ref Tobias LSS}}</ref>

__TOC__

== Principles of operation ==

The 8077 is a combination lock that requires three numbers be correctly dialed into the lock for the shackle to be released. It uses three internal wheels and a fence-type mechanism similar to those used in traditional combination [[safe]] locks. The dial has fifty graduations numbered 0-49, giving the 8077 a total of 125,000 (50<sup>3</sup>) theoretical [[Differs|permutations]].

The 8077 functions very similar to traditional rotary [[combination]] safe locks. It uses a set of wheels, a drive cam, a fence, and a mechanism which resembles a butterfly. The butterfly hooks into the shackle, restricting its movement. When the correct combination is dialed the wheels and drive cam are properly aligned under the butterfly. Pulling the shackle causes the butterfly to collapse and pushes the fence into the gates, releasing the shackle.

The opening index mark is location at 12 o'clock on the face of the lock. The changing index, used to reset the combination, is located at 11 o'clock. All combinations are a three number sequence that ends with 0, for example 24-10-40-0 and 42-28-9-0. The last number is required to set the drive cam in the proper position. The factory combination is 25-0 (25-25-25-0), but older models may use 10-20-30-0.

'''Notes'''
* The dial of the 8077 may be stamped with a two digit number to prevent casual replacement of the lock.

== Opening instructions ==

These instructions use an example combination of 10-20-30-0

# Dial counter-clockwise four full revolutions, stopping on 10.
# Dial clockwise three full revolutions, stopping on 20.
# Dial counter-clockwise two full revolutions, stopping on 30.
# Dial clockwise to 0.
# Pull the shackle to unlock the padlock.

To dial the factory 25-0 combination (25-25-25-0), all wheels are dialed counter-clockwise four times, stopping at 25. Then dial clockwise, stopping at 0. Pull the shackle to unlock the padlock.

== Combination change instructions ==

# Unlock the lock using the correct combination.
# Use the screwdriver end of the change key to turn the cover locking screw clockwise until it comes to a complete stop.
# Remove the padlock's rear cover plate by sliding it upward.
# Turn the padlock's cover locking screw counterclockwise, backing it out of the lock body as far as possible. It does not have a positive stop.
# Close the shackle.
# Dial the original combination, aligning each wheel with the changing index.
# Use the elbow of the change key to turn the key hole screw on the back of the lock clockwise to the open position.
# Insert the change key into the change key hole and turn in 90° clockwise.
# Dial the new combination, aligning each wheel with the changing index.
# Turn the change key 90° counter-clockwise and remove it from the lock. Do not close the change key hole!
# Dial the new combination to the opening index and open the lock. Open the lock repeatedly to ensure the new combination works before closing the change key hole.

'''Notes'''
* The opening index is at 12 o'clock, the changing index at 11 o'clock.

== Disassembly instructions ==

__TOC__

== Principles of operation ==

The 8077 is a combination lock that requires three numbers be correctly dialed into the lock for the shackle to be released. It uses three internal wheels and a fence-type mechanism similar to those used in traditional combination [[safe]] locks. The dial has fifty graduations numbered 0-49, giving the 8077 a total of 125,000 (50<sup>3</sup>) theoretical [[Differs|permutations]].

The 8077 functions very similar to traditional rotary [[combination]] safe locks. It uses a set of wheels, a drive cam, a fence, and a mechanism which resembles a butterfly. The butterfly hooks into the shackle, restricting its movement. When the correct combination is dialed the wheels and drive cam are properly aligned under the butterfly. Pulling the shackle causes the butterfly to collapse and pushes the fence into the gates, releasing the shackle.

The opening index mark is location at 12 o'clock on the face of the lock. The changing index, used to reset the combination, is located at 11 o'clock. All combinations are a three number sequence that ends with 0, for example 24-10-40-0 and 42-28-9-0. The last number is required to set the drive cam in the proper position. The factory combination is 25-0 (25-25-25-0), but older models may use 10-20-30-0.

'''Notes'''
* The dial of the 8077 may be stamped with a two digit number to prevent casual replacement of the lock.

== Opening instructions ==

These instructions use an example combination of 10-20-30-0

# Dial counter-clockwise four full revolutions, stopping on 10.
# Dial clockwise three full revolutions, stopping on 20.
# Dial counter-clockwise two full revolutions, stopping on 30.
# Dial clockwise to 0.
# Pull the shackle to unlock the padlock.

To dial the factory 25-0 combination (25-25-25-0), all wheels are dialed counter-clockwise four times, stopping at 25. Then dial clockwise, stopping at 0. Pull the shackle to unlock the padlock.

== Combination change instructions ==

# Unlock the lock using the correct combination.
# Use the screwdriver end of the change key to turn the cover locking screw clockwise until it comes to a complete stop.
# Remove the padlock's rear cover plate by sliding it upward.
# Turn the padlock's cover locking screw counterclockwise, backing it out of the lock body as far as possible. It does not have a positive stop.
# Close the shackle.
# Dial the original combination, aligning each wheel with the changing index.
# Use the elbow of the change key to turn the key hole screw on the back of the lock clockwise to the open position.
# Insert the change key into the change key hole and turn in 90° clockwise.
# Dial the new combination, aligning each wheel with the changing index.
# Turn the change key 90° counter-clockwise and remove it from the lock. Do not close the change key hole!
# Dial the new combination to the opening index and open the lock. Open the lock repeatedly to ensure the new combination works before closing the change key hole.

'''Notes'''
* The opening index is at 12 o'clock, the changing index at 11 o'clock.

== Disassembly instructions ==

The 8077 cannot be disassembled non-destructively.
