How To Pick A Liquor Cabinet Lock?

Finally, it’s time to learn how a lock is picked. The tool we talked about earlier- The Tension Wrench, is the first tool you’d need to crack a lock open.

a. Firstly, what you have to do is, you’ll have to insert your tension wrench at the bottom of the keyway. Now slowly you’ll have to apply a small amount of force/tension clockwise so that the lock starts to release/separate just like the job a key must’ve performed.

b. You don’t need too much pressure, it’s very simple. We need to know which way the lock unlocks from occasionally. Push hard on the tension wrench clockwise and then backwards to achieve this.

c. Once stopping, the connector must turn a bit in both directions. Look at how well the tension wrench felt when it comes to a complete stop as we spin the socket opposite ways. If it looks rigid and has a very little bend, you’re rotating in a reverse way.

d. The proper direction, on the other hand, will seem soft and release some more. Another point to remember is that a few inexpensive locks will open in any direction you rotate them.

e. Start to put stress on the wrench in that position once you know which way the plug turns. The level of stress we apply is important to opening the lock properly.

Raise the binding pin slightly till you detect an immediate snap or sense a tiny spin on the connection. Any of these two symbols usually means that the controller pin has been correctly connected.

a. You’ve found and adjusted your initial binding pin, however, the lock now wants to bond on a different pin. Continue the cycle of softly raising each pin unless you find another one that is tight and hard to move.

b. Proceed gradually raising that pin till you get a tiny spin on the cap or notice an audible snap, like earlier. In this step, what you have to understand is that you need to correctly adjust the pin in such a way that it proceeds with further unlocking.

Because each cabinet is unique, you’ll need to find out which way to twist your equipment when you open it.

a. To do so, first test the left side of your wrench, or else the right side. Whenever you move the wrench,  you can easily feel the correct side.

b. You’ve found the correct unlocking position when the wrench simply flips to the side.

c. Move the keyhole into the unlocked position to open the cabinet, depending on your cabinet. Spin your wrench clockwise or anti-clockwise to get this.

d. Release your wrench from the lock after the keyhole is in the proper place.

e. When a keyhole is shut, for example, certain keyholes are upright. For you to open these cabinets, turn the wrench counterclockwise to horizontally align the keyhole.

Put your rake into the keyway, pushing it all the way to the back of the lock and slowly lifting higher so that your pick elevates the pins slightly. Begin scrubbing the pins with a reasonable amount of pace, as if you were brushing the tops of your teeth with your brush.

Adjust the direction, the level, and the pace of each pick as you sift. If it does not open within 10 seconds, relax pressure to reset the lock start over. It’s not uncommon to just have to reset the lock more than once until you can rake a lock correctly.

Scrub the pins until the socket completely turns and the lock unlocks. The keyhole almost fits exactly the nail file. You can quickly open the cabinets with a little force. 3-5 times rotate the filing instrument upwards and downwards gently.

This causes the pins in the locks to sliding, allowing you to simply unlock the cabinet. Usually, residential locks have roughly 5 pins, and then when you slide your key into the lock, it easily slides these pins.

To enter the cabinet, you need to move the pins. Slowly rotate your hand in the position you chose before jiggling around the file to shift the pins. The lock is now in the “unlocked” state as a result of this action.

Keep searching for binding pins and pushing these to the shear line. There will be no blockage to the shear line once all pins have been set, the cap would completely spin, and also the lock will unlock.

You need to keep trying to move the wrench up and down in every direction until you finally get to that point where your pins unlock.

Whenever you can’t discover a binding pin, you may have overset or underset a pin.

Relax to allow the pins to fall and repeat the cycle. If you’re still having trouble finding a connection pin, attempt putting a little extra stress on the plug.

Proceed to tighten the spanner and wipe the pins prior to reattaching them. Once you’re back to its last either one of the two pins to choose, you might have to apply more pressure and stress to the pins using your pick.

If you don’t observe any progress, you’ve probably applied far too much pressure to the tool. Allow the pins to reset and start, and focus on avoiding putting too much power.

To use this scrubbing technique, you can select a lot of pins and key locks. Using these instructions as to how to open a liquor cabinet lock should be simple.
