Ask Jack Bauer! hehehe

I actually dont know but one of my toy is something like that.

the idea is to pick the correct point buy wiggling the pin.

JUST MAKE SURE THE PAPER CLIP LOOKS LIKE BOLT CUTTERS.AND IT WORKS A LOT FASTER TOO.

It can be done! But you must also use a tension wrench, you can make a tension wrench with a paperclip as well. You can find it on youtube…how to make a tension wrench….a tension wrench controls the tension on the cylinder while you are raking the pins and will force the lock to turn as soon as the pins go up in the right order to unlock the lock. Make sure the tension is going in the same direction as you turn the key so that you do not spend all that time picking it and find out you picked it backwards!!!
