Picking a standard lock isn't that difficult, especially with the right
tools.
I've never tried an ACE or "round" type lock, but I was always under the
impression that those were virtually impossible to pick, even for a pro?!?

What sort of lock is it? Most locks can be picked, although the worst

be.
Argh, now there's a useful thread topic. I've got a few systems in
the basement that need picking, and I've put them aside until I know how.
Any tips? I seem to remember some hacker text file on the topic.
