| Do they really work as easy as they claim or are they meant only for real professionals? |

my buddy is a professional locksmith and he says they suck. he can pick through about any standard config lock with a pick gun and a tension wrench. He had one at his old shop, I tried it and it didnt do anything for me at all. I say get a set of picks and a bunch of deadbolts to practice on, the electrics arent worth the cost |
I got rather good with a rake when I first started with rental properties. I would assume I have gotten rusty since then. It was fun though. |
| once, years ago, my roommate's girl friend locked her self out of her apartment. For some reason I was there, I think maybe I had given her a ride home from somewhere and we didn't know she didn't have her keys until we got there. Anyway, locksmith showed up and picked the lock in literally 5-10 seconds. Pretty sure he just raked it. He was as fast or faster as the fake lock picking that actors do in tv shows |
Made her feel really good about her security then, didn't it?

probably used a pick gun, on a well broken in kwikset deadbolt it is scary fast |
Truely a rake would be just as fast. |
