I wasn't planning to, but why not pick up a new hobby ;)

(It is indeed cheap)

I got one lockpick kit as a gift, and found out I can open the door of my apartment in 20 sec with it as a complete beginner. The fun part was that it was not possible to open it from the inside. That was how I learned that the lock was mounted with the inside part on the outside (it was a rented apartment).

If you're serious about getting into the hobby, don't buy the cheap chinese picks. They are a pain to use. Get something like this: https://store.spooxe.com/LOCKPICKS_SETS/KICK_START_LOCKPICKI...
