    I’m a firefighter\emt. I’ve gotten to pick Sooo many door locks over the years and it’s saved a lot of people a lot of money and headache for it.

    Anytime someone has “fallen and can’t get up” in their locked house, but says they aren’t injured, I’ll pick my way in, instead of us having to break a door or window just because they need help off the floor.

      You start picking locks like that, what the hell are you using that lovely Halligan tool for?

        Lol. That’s for the fires or a particularly strong door on a med call that’s an actual emergency. Most of the time a smack or two with the shoulder will knock open a locked door.
