SO the way lockpicking works in real life is similar to how video games portray is but not quite. You know how in movies they always use bobby pins? It's because of the shape of the edges of bobby pins resemble how the pins look inside of doors and there was a time when that would actually work. However locks have been remade to prevent you from being able to use bobby pins. Nowadays you need a pick and a tension wrench. So first you want to stick the tension wrench in the keyhole. Again this is similar to the bobby pin shape because if you'll recall bobby pins have a flat bottom. Then you have to test which way the lock turns to unlock, usually you can tell by turning the tension wrench and feeling how much give each side has. The one with more give is the way you need to turn. Then apply slight torque to the lock through the tension wrench, this is to allow you to find the stubborn pin with the pick. Repeat these steps after pushing up each pin and there you go!
