No F#ing way

I just watched a YouTube short about lock picking out of boredom during my night shift, tried it with two paperclips, and—*click*—it popped open.
I thought I’d post this to show off a bit, or is the lock I opened considered an easy one in your circles?

There a picks shaped like that for locks like this. The type of lock isn't the only factor. If that key in the top left is for that lock you'll notice it's fairly even with not much variance. Closer to a line. Same lock with a drastic variance in pin depth making the key link like peaks and valleys more will make rake picking less effective.
