Have you checked your local laws? Here in Florida, regardless of
permission or even if you're opening your own house, possession of
lock picks is illegal unless you're actually a locksmith... (I don't
remember the exact language, but it's pretty restrictive.)

reply: I only stated that we had legal permission of the owners and
management companies to open locked areas, and that would include using bolt
cutters or a prybar. Yes, they are illegal to possess. I have LEO
experience, and family on the force there. I also have a license plate ring
that identifies me subtly as a family member of the force there. I have my
old ID. The picklocks are always hidden, and for any officer to be able to
find them, they would have to be on a search for something else to toss the
entire car. I am a well behaved citizen and that isn't going to happen.

I fail to see that if you are on your own property that there can be a
problem about opening a door. But then The Republik of Kalifornia has
strange laws, and perhaps Florida does too.
