plenty of youtube vids


You need to find te videos that say bypassing the lock rather than
picking

Example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R5VIz2U_MI

The exact same technique is used on some padlocks

Thanks.

Now being tempted by lock pick sets off t'Internet.

Also realising that a decent (may not break off in the lock at first
use) set is about £20.

Obviously an investment, but as the cabinet only cost £10 this does
seem a counter intuitive solution.

It also seems a pointless spend.

The temptation is to be distracted into learning to pick locks.

Perhaps one for the Xmas present list.
