Ever wanted to learn how to pick a lock? Here's a simple GIF that explains how to do it. It looks simple, but really, you'll need to practice.

To pick a lock, you simply need to insert a pick and push the pins into place so that the upper part will click into place outside of the cylinder. This will in turn allow the cylinder to turn freely and open the lock.

First you have to insert a torque wrench. It will turn the cylinder slightly and apply some torque to the lock. After that, you'll have to use your pick to feel out for the pins. The trick is to find the pin that you can push outside of the cylinder first. Once all of the pins are set, you just turn the torque wrench, and the lock should spring open.

Lock picking gets more complicated based on the locks and as you know, not all are made equal.
