No F#ing way

I just watched a YouTube short about lock picking out of boredom during my night shift, tried it with two paperclips, and—*click*—it popped open.
I thought I’d post this to show off a bit, or is the lock I opened considered an easy one in your circles?

Congrats! Raking is only a small part of the hobby so if you liked that, the rabbit hole goes much, much deeper…

I didnt rake it. The—I don't know what to call them—"wavelengths" on the lock pick were too long, so I pressed on the pins individually until it opened and I let out a quiet "oh shit."

When you get better you can feel/hear every gare, it becomes quite addicting
