Lock picking

I remember way back, dad had a can full of old padlocks and mismatched keys. I fiddled with them for hours on end and got most of them unlocked. Have dismantled many automotive lock cylinders,and moved pins or removed a few to make them fit existing keys. All out of necessity. When i was at the dealership i was the guy they had do the cylinders to fit customers keys.
The conservation trucks i did the
Rigging on had the electronic gun locks. Easy to get a gun out. Have since forgotten how, but i would figure it out when i saw another.

know a locksmith that made a door key by looking through passenger window at it hanging in ignition. He’s good at it.
Fascinating stuff.
