…because sometimes it’s quicker than trying to find the key!
This is an old, old method of popping tubular locks, but as you can see even locks made within the last few years, such as the Kensington MicroSaver shown here, are vulnerable.

thin pen worked like a charm, probably a thick plastic straw works also same diameter
Holy shit this worked.
Awesome video. I used a silicone straw and heated up the end to fit into the lock and I got it within 30 seconds!
Somehow a relative misaligned the notches on a tubular lock. It was impossible to insert the key and actuate the lock due to the misalignment. I had tried this once before and it did not work. After attempting other lock pick strategies on a Sentry locking fireproof box with tubular lock I tried the method again. It enabled me to realign the tubular lock notches so that I could once again use the key. Thanks for the help.
Time to break into a vending machine
Don't do this. Broke my lock (pins lost their springiness) doing this. Had to drill out the lock.
Deez nuts 🔩 🥜 🌰
Crayola marker cap for the win.
Literally 30sec and I was in.
It really dose work it's crazy how fast I opened our safe and only watched this video thanks bro
Lmfao this worked. Took me less than a minute to find the right pen and then less than a minute of wiggling to open lol
I was trying to open a tubular lock on an old hard drive 5.25" removable caddy. It was too small for any of my pens. I ended up using a drywall anchor that I trimmed the flange off of. Thanks!
Time to get my money back
Omg! What a great tip. Payed $50 for a lost key and combo to sentry master lock. The replacement key they sent still did not work after they confirmed it was the correct key. At a loss, I came across this video and it took me 30 seconds to pop the tubular lock with a straw! I’m back in business! Thank you much!
Holy crap! it worked. I was able to remove a wheel boot from my car tire in literally 2 minutes! THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!
Use a knife to prize it off, as I have just done it!.
Thanks. I was able to get my money back from the ATM.
You saved me today. My passport was in a locking file safe and I couldn’t find the key. I was able to pick the lock with a pen cap as you show. Thanks!
bs… there are six profiling balls to just insert the key, then 1/4 turn need to be made to open the lock, this is not working….
What pen is good to use? I lost my keys to mine
I feel like you could do one of these locks with a rolled up piece of paper. Vary the tension by cutting little notches into the tip
I can’t find the right size pen
Is anyone else having trouble with this?
F**k. That’s scary.
I opened the AmazonBasics SecuritySafe in about 1 minute, thanks to your video.
Sigh.. is there a way to lock devices properly then?
How about this H&H lock pick pen, did anyone review this?

Cheap chinese locks are easy to open.
A quality US made cam lock is far less easy to pick.
Couldn't find the exact pen size so I found a pen that had a thin sleeve around it, sliced the sleeve longwise, slipped around the tubular lock and in less than 20 seconds had it opened!! You're the man ABAC!!
I lost the tubular lock to a server cabinet containing a failed drive. This video saved me and my data! Thanks!!
what brand of the pen is the best?
