Even as someone who already knows warded locks, I must say that you explanation of how the lock works-and especially the illustration!-were quite helpful to visualize what I hadn't considered so well before. I had never considered making TWO types of "skeleton keys" from warded keys before, only the one simple one! I'll have to add that to the old mental tool box.

Hey, I'm glad that the explanation helped! I'm like you, in that it REALLY helps if I can visualize the inside of the lock that I'm working on, so I'm glad the illustration was useful! And yeah, making a skeleton key for a single locking mechanism lock and one for a double mechanism will cover most of the warded padlocks out there!

OMG.... Thank you for this!! I have one of these locks and have been trying to figure out how to open it forever. Your explanation made it so easy to understand the mechanism. I need to get some of those skeleton keys now for sure :)

I am so happy that I was able to help! Remember, though, that all you need to make a coat hanger pick for them is a pair of needle nose pliers!

My biggest challenge with warded lockpicking has been the flimsiness of the commercially available warded picks. Lots of my old locks require significant turning pressure to open them, and the most common available skeleton keys seem to flex alarmingly when I apply enough turning torque to actually get the open. Now, if the picks were much thicker they wouldn't fit in some of the narrower warded locks out there, so I get why they were manufactured that way. I really wish I could find one set of picks though that was beefier. Maybe I'll have to make it myself!

I haven't run into a that yet, but my warded locks are all cheap Master Locks that don't seem to have the strongest springs. Just flexing the tools by hand, the commercial ones flex much more easily than the one I made from a coat hanger, so I can see how a stronger mechanism could bend them.

First warded lock was definitely an odd feeling, just fumbling around. I was wondering why you didn't like tok and you answered this video with you being left handed.

First warded lock attempt for me was a hot mess! I wanted to talk about improvised tools because much of the advice out there is to buy warded lock picks. Was hoping to save folks a little fumbling. And, yeah, being lefthanded means techniques feel a little different and I approach things a little differently sometimes.

mmriccardi, that's a great suggestion! I just recorded a series of four videos on the Master Lock 140D, but after I get those posted up, I'll tackle your request! Thank you for asking for this!

LOL!! In my defense, that particular lock kinda catches and doesn't spin all that easily... I know... excuses are like...
