This tutorial by former CIA officer Jason Hanson demonstrates how to pick a standard Kwikset-style lock in under 30 seconds using an L-rake and tension wrench. He emphasizes using minimal 'feather weight' pressure with the tension wrench and a quick in-and-out raking motion with the L-rake. Hanson also advises that inexpensive locks are easily picked and recommends higher-security brands like Medeco or Schlage for better protection.
