lock picking?

Question

I have an old dresser that i locked a watch in somehow. I lost my key. It is a skelaton type lock. Simple. Is there a website that i can post a picture of the lock on to learn how to open it? Or a manual somewhere? Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

I have closets in my upstairs that use skeleton keys and we just found another one from someone else. Have you tried using another skeleton key that's the same size?

Answer 2

Older locks of this type have large tumblers and are easy to pick. All you need is the theory and some small tools. Check out this web site. It will give you the basics.
