Picking Pressure
This
exercise
will
teach
you the
range
of
pressure
s you will need to
apply
with a
pick
. When you are
starting
, just
apply
pressure
when you are
drawing
the pick
out of
the
lock
. Once you have
master
ed that, try
applying
pressure when the pick is
moving
inward.
With the
flat
side of your pick, push down on the
first pin
of a
lock
. Don't apply any
torque
to the lock. The amount of pressure you are applying should be just enough to overcome the
spring force
. This
force
gives you an idea of
minimum
pressure
you will apply with a pick.
The
spring force
increase
s as you
push
the pin down. See if you can
feel
this
increase
.
Now see how it feels to
push down
the other
pin
s as you pull the pick out of the lock. Start out with both the pick and
torque wrench
in the lock, but don't
apply
any
torque
. As you draw the pick out of the lock, apply enough
pressure
to push each pin all the way
down
.
The pins should
spring
back as the pick goes past them. Notice the
sound
that the pins make as they
spring
back. Notice the
popping
feel
as a pick goes past each pin. Notice the
springy
feel as the pick pushes
down
on each new
pin
.
To help you
focus
on these
sensations
, try
counting
the
number
of pins in the lock.
Door lock
s at
MIT
have
seven
pins,
padlock
s usually have four.
To get an idea of the
maximum
pressure, use the
flat
side of your pick to push down all the pins in the
lock
.
Sometimes
you will need to
apply
this much pressure to a
single
pin. If you
encounter
a new kind of lock, perform this exercise to
determine
the
stiffness
of its springs.
