Operation, Use, and Recommendations for Electric Lockpick Guns

An electric lockpick gun, also known as an EPG (Electric Pick Gun), is an advanced tool for opening various types of locks. These tools are popular among both professionals and hobbyists due to their efficiency and ease of use. In this article, we discuss the operation of electric lockpick guns, how to use them, and which models we recommend.

How Does an Electric Lockpick Gun Work?

The operation of an electric lockpick gun is based on Newton’s laws, particularly the third law of Newton. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. With the EPG, the needle of the lockpick gun strikes quickly against the pins in the lock. This causes them to be pushed upward. By applying the right timing and using a tension wrench, the pins can be held in the correct position, allowing the lock to open. This process utilizes the principles of classical mechanics and the laws of motion.

How to Use an Electric Lockpick Gun?

Correctly using an electric lockpick gun requires some practice. Here are the basic steps:

1. Insert the correct needle into the lockpick gun and ensure it is securely fastened.
2. Place a tension wrench in the lower half of the keyway and apply light pressure in the direction the lock turns.
3. Insert the needle of the lockpick gun into the keyway, just behind the first pin.
4. Turn on the lockpick gun so that the needle begins to vibrate or strike, depending on the model.
5. While the needle is working, maintain constant tension with the tension wrench. Once all the pins are in the correct position, the lock will turn open.
