Those kits you can buy are fairly easy to use. You even have more expensive kits, something that looks like a drill, you just turn on the drill like 2-3 times and it opens the door. It's 100+ USD though. At least.

Yep. I've got a tool that automatically opens quite literally nearly every door to a car. Costed me $20.

I've seen things like that, I should probably learn the manual way first though.

The stories are fun to read.
I've tried picking my desk drawer but I was unsuccessful the pins should stop at some point, but they always fall down...

Were you applying tension? By turning the lock, it pushes against a pin, holding it in place.

I was using two paperclips, one for turning the lock, another for pushing the pins. The thing is that no matter what pin i push none of them gets stuck in one place...

This thread sounds more about trespassing than lockpicking. I've done a bit of lockpicking and can probably get into most average door locks or baggage. Never broke the law, though.

The picks are easy to get you can get them on ebay alibaba and theres plenty of picking sites like lockpicking101 i got a set of 24 picks for only £28 my 7 pin tubular lockpick was £40 you can get shitty ones for like £15 but a proper sothord one like mine costs more but is far better quality you can even get see throgh plastic encased locks for practising with, i love it and when you finally pick your first proper lock its a buzz and you suddenly think your good enough now to do black bag jobs for the Feds ha ha, i've got a few really good ebooks on picking, defeating electro magnetic locks, b & e etc if anyone wants any copies let me know and ive got a set of bump keys also theyre unbelievable and instead of getting the plastic striking hammer ive used wooden hairbrush's and screwdriver handles instead to strike them with and they still work its crazy but its defo a great subject to get into. I love it.
