Abstract: A pin tumbler lock pin kit and method of use. According to an embodiment, pin tumbler lock pick kit 10 is generally comprised of a pin lifter 100, a tailpiece manipulator 200, a first guide key 300, a second guide key 400, and a J-hook 500. The present disclosure enables homeowners and professional locksmiths to easily open pin tumbler locks without damaging the lock, without practice or locksmith experience, and in a significant reduced time compared to prior art solutions (typically in 60 seconds or less). Embodiments of the present disclosure enable a user to mechanically manipulate the tumbler pins of a pin tumbler lock, and remove the retaining cap that retains the tumbler pins. With the retaining cap removed the lock set can easily be turned and opened without incurring any damage to the lockset. The unlocked tumbler can be removed and re-keyed for reuse.
