DIY Jiggler Keyset for pin tumbler locks, Dangerfield Polaris Rake Set, and Dangerfield Serenity pick sets with measurements! : CrimeSpree | Torhoo darknet markets
I will refine this post with time, but wanted to at least put ink to paper on this topic, which is DIY lock pick crafting and why you shouldn't rely on these well established types of sets.
But first, the lock jiggler set links with measurements references are posted below, a couple rules to keep in mind when planning / buying materials to make lock picks and jigglers:
1. The standard lock cylinder is about 1.5", hence why almost every lockpick you will see here is almost exactly 1.5" for each, locks that use less pins will usually not run an entire 1.5" (2-3 pins you should get immediate opens with the right rake / jiggler)
2. Jigglers follow the 1.5" long rule (plus the handle / grip length you use), however they are generally .25" to .5" in width for pin tumbler jigglers, and .5"+ for auto jigglers
3. Picks can be made from the strips of spring steel contained in windshield wiper blades (along with torque wrenches), rakes will require a bit more width than a standard windshield wiper blade steel insert provides and may require a different material as will jigglers
I would aim for a piece of flat steel that is at least 5" in length and .5" across to grind out rakes, packs of small saw blades made of steel are ideal - Try to choose a blade that is magnetic as trying to pick up a lock pick from a smooth metal floor is a bitch and terrible use of time!
With that, my dump of jiggler pics, apologies for clearnet links but its whats I got:

With proper tension from the torque wrench, its almost impossible to not unlock almost any pin tumbler after going through every key on this keyset - So long as you know how to apply proper tension!
Before getting into specific rakes and techniques, here is an overview of basically everyone lock pick / rake you will need to pop locks straight off their hinges:

As simple as rakes and jigglers make opening a lock, I have met very few I could hand a rake set and lock to, and they were easily able to open it - This is because they do not understand how to apply tension and it is quite literally the tension of the torque wrench that allows the lock to open and NOT the pick / rake itself!
All great skillsets must have a solid foundation of understanding the feel of pins setting, realizing when a pin was overset, and how to relieve enough tension to drop the overset pins without losing progress (or as little as possible) with pins already set.
With that being said....... how to open some locks fast.
A few things to remember when opening locks fast:
1. Sometimes you will not be able to pick the lock, or run into an enhanced security lock, this is why you bring 36" foldable bolt cutters as plan B, and a few brand new generic unopened locks as well to replace the cut lock to avoid arousing suspicion from a missing lock
2. Never hesitate to change techniques or picks / rakes, even when almost every pin is set, the two jigglers I really underscored have been the knockout punch for many stubborn locks to the kinetic force they produce to get that last stubborn pin
3. Always have multiple torque wrenches on hand of different lengths, widths, and rigidity or thickness. Some locks you will need micro torque wrenches to fit in a tight space while other locks (circular) locks require heavy torque to set the pins requiring a more rigid or thick torque wrench
4. When changing rakes / picks, put the current one back before taking the next one out, piling them up as they don't work is a good way to lose one at the scene or begin a panic when you move to the next lock and now just have a pile of rakes rather than being able to find the correct rake
5. Always apply a small amount of oil to your pick and run it through the lock a few times, locks that sit untouched for months or years accumulate dust, which will reduce the kinetic response they give to the motions of the rake
(You can also use the oil for door hinges to ensure quiet entry as much as possible)
How I attack a lock is by starting with a Bagota rake (the rake with 3 sharp peaks), as this allows you to both rake the pins in small bursts, while also using the "rocking" technique used with the last 2-3 rakes known as "F-Keys" or City Rakes. I angle the pick slightly upward while giving a jolt to the first few pins, then give it a few "rocks" as I angle the tip back downwarn while applying tension during each rock, then jolt the next few pins while angling back upwards and again rocking them a bit as I transition the rake tip downward (all while applying a slight tension with some slight variation in more / less tension in the torque wrench to feel for response ie pins setting).
This one pick is amazing once you really learn the above technique of applying varying tension while rocking, however if no pins are setting at all, I fall back to the less rigid peaked rakes, using mostly just straight raking with the same tension applied the entire time and this works amazingly well on locks that have deep pitting more than the deeper hitting rakes. Kind of oddity to me, but seems consistent.
If I get about half the pins set but progress stops, I will generally bust out the two jiggler keys I pointed out, those have almost always been the final pin set needed to open the lock due to their aggressive kinetic profile.
The nice thing about having every rake and jiggler shown in the pics, it has to be one hell of a lock not to open to any of them, or you are having one of those days where you need to accept locks will not open for you that day (it does happen). Picks for single pin picking should only really come out if you keep getting stuck on the final pin as its likely one in the very back that rakes are not creating the energy needed to get a set.
However every second is precious when actively engaged in crime, so I've always carried a variety of brand new locks in the event I just have to clip it off with a bolt cutter - But we will get to that and much more in upcoming posts I've got lined up and oh is there a lot to cover yet.
