How to Pick a Bathroom Lock With Bobby Pins

Getting locked out of a bathroom can be a frustrating experience, especially if you don't have a spare key. However, there is a simple and effective way to pick a bathroom lock using bobby pins. With a little practice, you can learn how to do it in just a few minutes.

Materials You'll Need

* Two bobby pins * A small piece of paper (optional)

Instructions

1. Straighten out the bobby pins. You can do this by holding them against a hard surface and running your fingers down the length of the pins.

2. Bend one of the bobby pins into a "L" shape. The long end of the "L" should be about 2 inches long, and the short end should be about 1 inch long.

3. Insert the short end of the "L" shaped bobby pin into the keyhole. The long end of the bobby pin should be facing up.

4. Take the second bobby pin and bend the end into a small hook. This will be used to push the tumblers in the lock.

5. Insert the hooked bobby pin into the keyhole, behind the "L" shaped bobby pin. The hook should be facing down.

6. Use the "L" shaped bobby pin to push up on the hooked bobby pin. This will cause the hook to push against the tumblers in the lock.

7. Slowly move the hooked bobby pin up and down, while applying pressure with the "L" shaped bobby pin. You should feel the tumblers begin to give way.

8. Once all of the tumblers have been pushed up, the lock will open. You can then remove the bobby pins and open the door.

Tips

* If you are having trouble getting the bobby pins to fit into the keyhole, you can try lubricating them with a small amount of petroleum jelly. * If you are having trouble pushing the tumblers up, you can try using a small piece of paper to help you. Fold the paper into a small square and insert it into the keyhole, behind the hooked bobby pin. The paper will help to create friction and make it easier to push the tumblers up. * Once you have picked the lock, be sure to re-lock it when you leave. This will help to prevent someone else from picking the lock and entering the bathroom.
