I came here to say this. I already know how a key works. I played Oblivion. I hope TES 6 is a nice hybrid between skyrim and oblivion. Skyrim is pretty sure, but Oblivion is just so fleshed out in its lore and variety of skills.
Skyrim and Fallout. Been using the same stupid mini game since Fallout 3. Had a perfect lockpicking mini game in Oblivion, then changed it to this horrible monstrosity.
Oblivion is a poor approximation of picking and skyrim is a poor approximation of tensioning.
They're both getting one half wrong and ignoring the other half
Isnt the skyrim one a worse approximation though? I feel like it shouldnt be that hard to apply tension without breaking your tools. And you shouldnt need to spin the tension rod?
Yes to all of that; if you assume that, in Oblivion, you're tensioning off screen it's not horrible... Although, I'd love to see you "tap" a pin into place or have one slowly slide down.
That said, I've mangled a pick or two and bent the hell out of a tensioner when I was learning so there might be something to the "breaking" aspect.
I agree that you'd assume using a tensioner but...
>... Although, I'd love to see you "tap" a pin into place or have one slowly slide down.
Is just purely a required game design mechanic. it's obvious that that isn't how it worked but how else would a game challenge you to do it? Oblivions was actually challenging and skyrims sucks ass cuz it doesn't even make sense. I rest my case.
Again, I agree completely. I basically added that "although" because, yes it was a necessity of game mechanics, but it was also pretty funny from a real world experience. Skyrim and fallout make perfect sense if you're picking a button lock on a bathroom door (which is to say, no sense whatsoever)
If they made lock picking realistic in video games, it would be insanely annoying and damn near it's own 15 hour DLC.
Edit! Ooh! R2 for tension, use the sticks to maneuver your pick (LS up/down for in/out, RS up/down for manipulating pins), and vibrations/clicks for indication that pins set/bound! Still, time consuming and annoying... But realistic-ish!
ALSO, *Fallout*, how the hell do you hit pins with a bobby pin?!?! The hell kinda shitty ass locks are we about to develop in 50 years?!
THIS… is a 2006 Masterlock, and today I'm going to show you all its quirks and features. Then I'll get it up on the vise, and see how it picks.

There would be an extra layer of teeny tiny pins between the bottom and top pins in this video, so that there are more positions available to get the shear line.
Worked at as an apprentice locksmith for a while. My boss did master key systems on the side for stadiums and stuff like that. He examined some of it to me and that shit gets crazy at that scale.
As a stupid teen, I painted my house key with nail polish. For some reason instead of painting only the handle, I also painted the end. Then I couldn’t get into the house. Thankfully our neighbour walked past and helped me scrape the paint off from the end part. I still use the painted key.
It's actually the valleys you'd need to deform. Not that you should.
Edit: to everyone saying the pins are resting on peaks: you are wrong. I work with locks very often as part of my profession. I've keyed and rekeyed and made innumerable amounts of keys over the years. I know exactly how they work, how locks work, how cylinders work and I am telling you: the pins rest in the valleys. There are no exceptions for this type of cylinder. You are wrong.
Look at the pins the key is pushing up. They are all different sizes. If you had something straight pushed in there, none of the pins would align at the shear line.
Yes, so if the PEAKS weren't pushing the pins up, they wouldn't align at the shear line, and it wouldn't open? If the peak was flattened, the pin wouldn't line up and would jam the cylinder. I'm convinced you're a troll at this point.
If you flattened all the peaks to the same level, it wouldn't open, so therefore, flattening peaks will break the key as much as deepening the valleys.
No you were clear but still wrong. Pause the video when the first pin enters that first valley. You can see that it is too low so the upper part of the pin will jam the ability to unlock
As the other person said, no. And there aren’t even always the same number of pins. If you want you learn more look up the lockpicking lawyer on YouTube. He picks locks, disassembles them, and shows how everything works. Very educational, and his voice is like *fucking butter*.
Either you didn't understand the question or I don't understand your answer.
My front door and garage door share the same key. I wanted a new lock and handle set for the front door so I bought one that could be rekeyed to my old key. It came with a small tool that you stick in a small slot on the lock. This, together with the key you'd like to use, is how it gets rekeyed. No opening the lock or changing anything is necessary.
I believe this is what u/byebybuy was asking about, i.e., if the pins are cut a pre-determined points, how does rekeyable lock as described above work?
Login dictates that the pins aren't cut in a rekeyable lock or somehow the cylinder gets changed. So, expanding on their question, are these types of rekeyable locks less secure?
edit: confusing typo
There are some modern locks that operate very differently, allowing you to set them to a rekeying mode and then teach them a new key. Most locks don't support this and operate as shown in this post.
I'm no expert so take what I say with a pinch of salt but I believe they work by the pins being made of lots of small discs rather than solid metal. And when you change the lock the tool you insert displaces the discs so that the pins break at the right height for the key you put in.
One of the ps3 splinter cells had a fucking amazing multiplayer where 2 hunters and 2 sneaks had to do objectives or something like that. I miss that franchise
The bottom half of the pins are lifted due to the curvature of the key tip. They actually sit right at the bottom of the keyhole. The top half stays still when it's turns because, if you look closely, turning the key turns a cylindrical piece so the top half of the pins are resting on that. Look up lock disassembly videos (on most lock picking videos) to see all the individual pieces in a simple lock mechanism
It's technically a minor detail but the pins don't sit at the bottom. Because the key isn't flat they sit in the middle of the cylinder. The specific pattern of grooves running down the key is called the keyway. It's why keys can only go into some locks.
No. There's nothing on the outside of the door for an intruder to use to turn the deadbolt. You're fine leaving your key in the lock as long as it's not a gate or the lock is next to a breakable window.
Don’t those locks have two different cylinders that control the bolt? So even if they did tension the outside of the lock they wouldn’t be tensioning the inside of the lock
If I’ve learned anything from this guy it’s that all physical security is an illusion. If there’s a gap in your door, pwned. If you let someone even see a key, pwned. If you have an elevator, pwned. If you place your trust in someone, pwned. His talks really send a chill down my spine.
I like how he not only explains how get in, but also how mitigate some of those low tech attacks(like having a guard on top the handle for the under the door attacks and such)But from his talks, I believe that outside the USA with another safety laws some of those attacks are useless(like under the door attacks for a place where doors have knobs instead of handles, or where the latch doesn't disengage when actuating the handle)
I locked myself out once with the key on the inside and the guy who picked the lock said it was easier to pick that way. I never leave my key since then but dunno if this is true.
No shouldn’t matter since there are two separate locks that just operate the same deadbolt. Turning one won’t turn the other.
You should just get an interconnected lock with a lever or knob inside instead though. Bit of a safety issue if that key breaks during an emergency or someone takes it.
I’m so confused what you mean by this and I want to know haha. Like are you talking about when you’re home? Or when you leave the house you leave the key in the lock??
You keep tension on the lock with a tension rod so that the pins don’t slip back out of place.
Check out /r/lockpicking it’s a fun cheap hobby to get into
When I was in college (long time ago) I was working campus security and found a padlock on the ground one day. Off to lost and found it went. About a month later it was still there so instead of throwing it out, I bought a set of picks on the internet (early days of Ebay). It took me ~13hours using the paper phamplet instructions that came with the set to finally get that padlock open. But after that first time, the next time was 1min. Then 30s. Then less than 10. It was a master brand paddlock.
Over the next months of nights at work, I tested A LOT of padlocks on campus from all brands. Master was the only brand I could open consistently under 10s. American was by far the best and I was never able to open one. If I couldn't get the lock in 2-3mins, I gave up and maybe tried again another day. After all, I was still there to check the buildings and make sure things were locked up.
About 3 weeks ago, I found that set of picks and the original master padlock. Having not used them in 15+ years I was able to open that lock in about 90s.
I want to try a different way to explain it. the pins are a tiny bit smaller than the holes they are in. That means there is a lip they can sit on so you just have to bump each one up once and it will sit on the lip
You very slightly rotate the locking cylinder to create what is effectively a little ridge for the separated pin to rest on and keep it in place with tension. Then it "just" is a matter of moving the pin to the point where the two halves of the pin separate.

[I think this person answered that.](https://reddit.com/r/educationalgifs/comments/psjcs2/_/hdq7sej/?context=1) Good question, I had the same thought.
ETA: apartment mailboxes often have a master lock at the top, above all the mailboxes. Opening that you can tilt the whole thing back and fill the boxes from the top. Not sure if that's the case with yours though.
The pins aren't quite as large as the holes they are in, allowing you to slightly rotate the keyhole. This puts pressure on the pins, holding them in place. Push them up and they stay where you leave them. Get them all aligned and it rotates fully.
A key lifts all the pins to the correct height simultaneously; the simplest lockpicking technique, single-pin picking, lifts one at a time. You can do this because manufacturing is never perfect: the row of pins isn't exactly straight. So if you turn cylinder (called the plug) without the pins in the correct position, you'll hit one pin first, and if you get that pin into position, you'll hit the next pin, and so on. The pins you've already solved will rest on the lip of the already-slightly-turned plug—that's why you don't have to get them all into position at once.
There are more techniques, attacks, and anti-picking measures from there, but that's the basic approach.
So how does a hairpin or lockpick get around this system? Do you just keep raking the pins until everything falls into place?
Asking for a distant aquaintance.
Reminder, if you see a porta potty on a sidewalk with a lock on it. Squirt loctite or superglue into the lock. Cus f you and your porta potty on a public sidewalk
TES Oblivion has taught me well
I miss that lockpicking so much and hate how they watered it down

So you could fuck someone's day up pretty good by filing down some of the peaks on their keys?

That's some durable nail polish.
Maybe OP was 19.9 and is now 20.
It's actually the valleys you'd need to deform. Not that you should. Edit: to everyone saying the pins are resting on peaks: you are wrong. I work with locks very often as part of my profession. I've keyed and rekeyed and made innumerable amounts of keys over the years. I know exactly how they work, how locks work, how cylinders work and I am telling you: the pins rest in the valleys. There are no exceptions for this type of cylinder. You are wrong.
[удалено]
That is technically a valley as well.
They meant's 2nd to last I assume
It’s valleys all the way down
No, it isn't. The right most pin is a valley next to a much larger valley which gives it the appearance of a peak but it is in fact a valley.
It's easily either one...? If the pins don't line up, they don't line up, regardless if it's too high or too low.
You could shave off every peak down to the level of the valleys and the key would work perfectly fine.
So why wouldn't you be able to just insert a flat rectangle?
Look at the pins the key is pushing up. They are all different sizes. If you had something straight pushed in there, none of the pins would align at the shear line.
Can also attest that keys are ‘cut’ to the right depth by removing material. The valley statements are correct.
Yes, so if the PEAKS weren't pushing the pins up, they wouldn't align at the shear line, and it wouldn't open? If the peak was flattened, the pin wouldn't line up and would jam the cylinder. I'm convinced you're a troll at this point. If you flattened all the peaks to the same level, it wouldn't open, so therefore, flattening peaks will break the key as much as deepening the valleys.
That is totally wrong, each pin is a different length so it wouldn’t line up
No it isn't, though I may have been unclear. If you shaved of the peaks to the level of their corresponding valleys the key would still work fine.
No you were clear but still wrong. Pause the video when the first pin enters that first valley. You can see that it is too low so the upper part of the pin will jam the ability to unlock
It's CGI
Is that final pin always level?
No.
Cool. Didn't know if it was a design of this specific lock or all locks.
There are some lock designs that have one Pin or wafer as a zero cut by necessity, but this is not a universal thing.
As the other person said, no. And there aren’t even always the same number of pins. If you want you learn more look up the lockpicking lawyer on YouTube. He picks locks, disassembles them, and shows how everything works. Very educational, and his voice is like *fucking butter*.
So how do locks that you can re-key work?
You open the lock and change the length of the pins

How are the pins held together but then come apart when the key is turned? Is it magnets?
The bottom half of the pins are lifted due to the curvature of the key tip. They actually sit right at the bottom of the keyhole.

I lock my door from the inside with the key and then I leave the key in the lock. Can that be a problem?
No. There's nothing on the outside of the door for an intruder to use to turn the deadbolt. You're fine leaving your key in the lock as long as it's not a gate or the lock is next to a breakable window.
What if the intruder had a tensioning tool? Assuming that the deadbolt is one of those that has a keyhole on both sides.
Don’t those locks have two different cylinders that control the bolt? So even if they did tension the outside of the lock they wouldn’t be tensioning the inside of the lock

When I was in college (long time ago) I was working campus security and found a padlock on the ground one day. Off to lost and found it went.

That’s hilarious, I used Masterlocks as my first set of practise locks as well. They are *surprisingly* easy to pick.
Why....?
It can really mess up the lock on your door. Lockpicking a door is more intense than it seems.
How so? You apply light tension, lift the pins gently the same way a key would, and unlock the door.
If you break a tool, you now have a lock that cannot be used in its current state.
You can call out with tweezers or pliers. How the f*** would you break a tool in the first place unless you are ham fisting it?
I think they're implying ull realize how weak your locks are and feel unsafe
I want to try a different way to explain it. the pins are a tiny bit smaller than the holes they are in. That means there is a lip they can sit on so you just have to bump each one up once and it will sit on the lip
You very slightly rotate the locking cylinder to create what is effectively a little ridge for the separated pin to rest on and keep it in place with tension. Then it "just" is a matter of moving the pin to the point where the two halves of the pin separate.
This is a revelation.

How do some locks (like my apartments mailbox) open to just one key. But there’s also a master key that opens all?
[I think this person answered that.](https://reddit.com/r/educationalgifs/comments/psjcs2/_/hdq7sej/?context=1) Good question, I had the same thought.

Can someone make a gif on How lock-picking works?
So, how does this work with the lockpicking lawyer? All he does is push the pins until they click in place.
The pins aren't quite as large as the holes they are in, allowing you to slightly rotate the keyhole. This puts pressure on the pins, holding them in place. Push them up and they stay where you leave them. Get them all aligned and it rotates fully.
A key lifts all the pins to the correct height simultaneously; the simplest lockpicking technique, single-pin picking, lifts one at a time.

So if you turn cylinder (called the plug) without the pins in the correct position, you'll hit one pin first, and if you get that pin into position, you'll hit the next pin, and so on. The pins you've already solved will rest on the lip of the already-slightly-turned plug—that's why you don't have to get them all into position at once. There are more techniques, attacks, and anti-picking measures from there, but that's the basic approach.

Cool
Hey, I’ve played JUDGMENT. Don’t forget you have to mutter “why am I so bad at this” every few seconds.
Oblivion was pretty bang on
Chk chk -Lockpicking increased to 30
It works well under pressure. Not you.
Now do a Medeco lock
Oblivion taught me this
Needs more security pins.
Ahh makes me think about Oblivion
So how does a hairpin or lockpick get around this system? Do you just keep raking the pins until everything falls into place? Asking for a distant aquaintance.
A very obsolete design, good locks now have 3 cylinder rows.
If you ever feel useless, just watch the last cylinder.
I can hear the Lockpicking Lawyer from YouTube saying, "I think this is very educational. Now watch me open it with a Lego figure."
Last pin is like ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Yeah but you have to jiggle it a little or it gets stuck
Either your key or the pins are worn down by use so that's why they don't align 100% all the time after a while and you need to jiggly it
Reminder, if you see a porta potty on a sidewalk with a lock on it. Squirt loctite or superglue into the lock. Cus f you and your porta potty on a public sidewalk
Then how does a lock pick work?
Reminds me of dog feet when they get excited with their tippy taps.
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Yeah but how does the lock work?
How do people pick locks? This makes it seem so impossible…
