☠{A-True-PuNk}☠ October 11, 2009 at 10:56 am: you cant really do that to school locks and house doors.. but you can open up certain locks with paper clips like ones on the airport luggage or cheap stuff but it is impossible to stick a papeclip to open locks up in this day and age.

I would recommend picking up a cheap set of lockpicks and practising with them, then using your skills from there to try with a paperclip. However, paperclips, hairpins, and whatever else you see used on the movies can only generally be used in the simplest of locks, so don’t expect to be able to show off your paperclip skills by breaking into someone’s locker.
