Lock picks
Lock picks and lock picking tools are designed to perform one of two basic functions: manipulating pins and turning the plug. Two tools (one for each job) are used together when picking a lock. The lock pick is used to lift the individual pin tumblers through the keyway, while tension wrench controls the degree and force of plug rotation. After practise you will learn from both the pick and the tension wrench what the pins are doing. (Other names for the torque tool are turning tool, torque wrench, torsion wrench, and tension wrench. The term "tension" is mechanically inaccurate here, since the tool's function involves torque, not tension).
Lock picks are tools that enable you to pick open door locks, cabinets, cars, houses and many more types of lock.

The most commonly used lock today is the pin tumbler lock. A series of pins that are divided at certain points must be raised to these dividing points in relationship to the separation between the cylinder wall and the shell of the lock by a key cut for that particular series of pin divisions. Thus the cylinder can be turned, and the mechanism or lock is unlocked.
A special tension wrench is called a Feather Touch, and it is used for high security mushroom and spool pin tumbler locks. Its delicate spring-loaded action allows the pick to bypass the tendencies of these pins to stick. This tool you can get from the site shown above.
