      These locks are super easy to pick. Now, picking it yourself? That’s a whole other issue lol.

          If they were able to lock it so quickly, it means it’s probably not a key-retaining lock, which means the locking pawls are spring-loaded, which means you can shim it.

          I had to look up “wave rake” cuz I’m a moron and thought it was like an introductory brand lock pick device or something.

          You meant like a comb, didn’t you?

          🤦‍♂️

          Edit: oh man, I’m so happy I was wrong lol I felt so dumb

            Raking is a low-skill attack that can easily defeat low-quality locks. The rake is a metal strip (often wave-shaped, but others exist) which you have to move around inside the keyway while applying torque. Some of the pins will randomly get caught at the shear line; repeat until the lock is opened. This type of attack can be prevented by using security pins (like spools, barrels, or serrated pins) that get stuck in the shear line.

            A comb attack is different. Some locks are so poorly designed that you can use a comb-shaped tool to lift all of the key pins above the shear line and completely bypass the security.

            Lockpicking rakes work very differently from combs.

        given the quality of most locks you can probably just hold a hairpin menacingly in front of it and it’ll pop open.
