so Lockpicking Lawyer is a badass and has way more tool time than me. But lockpicking is surprisingly easy. He does it precisely and slowly, but it can be done much more aggressively and with less thought. Individually manipulating the pins is great but turns out aggressive imprecise raking works too, especially on cheaper locks. Lots of techniques out there.

He demonstrates a lot of lower-skill attacks in various videos, showing pretty convincingly that against a lot of locks (even some more expensive ones where the manufacturer cut corners) they are effective and much quicker than single-pin picking. That includes raking, shimming, simply using force, etc.
