These locks have been around for centuries and are still commonly used today in many residential and commercial buildings. To understand how a warded lock works, it’s important to first understand the anatomy of a key. A typical warded lock key has a series of notches, or “cuts,” along its blade. These notches correspond to the obstructions, or wards, inside the lock. When the key is inserted into the lock, the notches align with the wards and allow the lock to open. Skeleton Keys The most efficient way to pick a warded lock is to grab a pair of skeleton keys. Check out the specific key you have and twist the skeleton keys exactly like a normal warded key. These skeleton keys will most of the time get the lock open faster than the key itself. Overall, warded locks are relatively simple and can be easily understood and picked by someone with the right knowledge and tools. However, they can still provide a good level of security for basic applications. It’s always important to use a high-quality lock and keep it well-maintained to ensure the best possible security for your home or business. Below is a video demonstration on how to pick a warded lock. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELATED POSTS LockPicking PICKING THE DEGUARD 5 PIN IN PIN HIGH SECURITY LOCK September 11, 2022September 27, 2022 1n50mn1ac POST NAVIGATION Previous: Shodan 101 – Common queries and API Usage -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- oconsecurity is proudly powered by nunya fuel
