It can be frustrating and inconvenient when a lock becomes damaged or stops working. You might feel tempted to try to pick a lock yourself, but here is why you shouldn’t.
Lock damage
Attempting to pick a lock yourself without any knowledge or the correct tools can cause serious and even more damage to the lock. This will make it more difficult for a trained locksmith to repair or replace it, which could cost you more money.
Risk of injury
Lock picking requires small, sharp tools, which, if not handled correctly, can easily cause injuries. This situation can be incredibly frustrating, often leading to impulsive decisions and risky methods that increase the risk of injury.
Weak lock
You may be successful in picking your lock. However, you are reducing its security. Forced opening without the correct key or tools can damage the lock, reducing its efficiency in working correctly and leaving your home, vehicle, or business unprotected.
Legal Issues
Picking a lock without proper authorisation can be considered a crime, whether it involves a business you work at, someone else’s property or a vehicle you don’t own. Engaging in these actions can lead to legal consequences.
Waste of time
There are numerous types of locks, and attempting lock-picking methods may not work with your particular lock. Even locksmith professionals with expert knowledge and the correct tools can encounter trouble. Don’t waste your time!
