| A '''lockpick''' (or '''pick''', '''pick lock''') is a tool used in [[lockpicking]] to manipulate components to their proper positions. The [[Lock#Lock_Designs|type of lock]] being picked and the preferences of the lockpicker will determine which type and style of lockpick used. In most cases, a [[Tension|tension tool]] is used with the pick to successfully pick the lock. Picks that are specifically designed for [[Raking|rake picking]] techniques as known as rakes.

| The possession of lockpicks is [[Legal Issues|considered illegal]] in some parts of the world. Lockpicks are categorized as "burglary tools" in many places, but most laws do not consider them such until they are used with the intent to commit a crime.
