What is a lever tumbler lock?
While plug spinners can be a useful tool for experienced lock pickers, they do require a certain level of skill and practice to use effectively. If used incorrectly, a plug spinner can potentially damage the lock and make it even more difficult to open. As with any lock picking tool, it is important to use plug spinners responsibly and only with the owner's permission.
Using a plug spinner to open a lock requires a certain level of skill and practice, as it is important to apply the tool correctly to avoid damaging the lock. Here are the general steps to follow:
Choose the right tool: Select a plug spinner that is appropriate for the type of lock you are trying to open. Make sure it fits snugly into the keyway and is securely attached to the lock cylinder.
Apply rotational force: Apply rotational force to the lock cylinder in the opposite direction of its normal rotation. This can be done manually by turning the plug spinner handle, or with a battery-powered motor.
