Not everyone has a lockpick on hand when they need it. Whether due to the difficulty of obtaining lockpicks, the possible embarrassment of being caught with one, or simple unpreparedness, a character might be forced to confront a lock with only only whatever supplies happen to be at hand. Fortunately, in fiction, anything can serve as a lockpick. A character might take it even further by using something that couldn't turn the lock or even fit inside it in real life. Note that in Real Life, in order to pick a standard pin-tumbler lock, two tools (rather than one as is often portrayed) are needed; a torque wrench and a pick. The torque wrench is used to turn the cylinder, while the pick is used to manipulate the pins in such a way to allow it to turn. A flat headed screwdriver can substitute for one. In addition, a screwdriver can also be used to force the lock (literally just twist it hard enough to snap the pins) or rake it (drawing it across the pins in a particular way until they snap in place). Related to MacGyvering, especially when people get creative in their improvisations. Shapeshifters and characters benefiting from Toon Physics might also be able to turn parts of themselves into keys or lockpicks, in a Mundane Utility alternative to Shapeshifter Weapons. Super-Trope to Skeleton Key Card and Hairpin Lockpick. |

Terminator: Terminator 2: Judgment Day has Sarah Connor picking the locks of her restraints and the lock to her room with a paper clip she stole earlier. The awesome thing is that Linda Hamilton learnt how to pick locks for her role and did it for real on that scene — and the U.K. censoring committee actually tried to cut the scene because they feared people would learn how to pick locks from watching the movie. In Terminator: Dark Fate, Sarah Connor borrows a piece of metal from another detainee to pick the lock on their cage, but federal agents turn up to take her into custody before she succeeds. |

The Simpsons: In "The Great Louse Detective", when Homer is being targeted by a murderer, Chief Wiggum proposes recruiting a criminal to help track down his would-be murderer. He takes the Simpson family to a maximum security prison and leads them to the highest-security cell. However, when he places his hand on the biometric scanner, the computer responds "Access denied", so he grabs a fork and jiggles the switch, finally opening the cell and revealing Sideshow Bob. | |

In Fallout 3, New Vegas, and 4, a screwdriver is used as a torque wrench while the picking itself is done with bobby pins. In the 2D games, you can get an actual set of lockpicks, but they're not necessary if your skill rating is high enough, suggesting you're using some random object. | |

Farscape. Deconstructed in "The Hidden Memory". Stark has spent two cycles building a device that can open his cell, if only he can find the correct sequence for the door lock. Problem is he can only try one sequence at a time (with a likely infinite number of potential combinations). When John Crichton (stuck in the cell with him) responds to this revelation with laughter, he retorts that it's not like Crichton has come up with anything better. Fortunately, Aeryn turns up to rescue them both. Ironically in the first episode Crichton and Aeryn were able to escape from their cell on Moya using just a Cutlery Escape Aid. | |

Batman: During his first encounter with Anthony Lupus, Batman was left manacled on a construction site at the mercy of a rampaging werewolf. Batman manages to locate a bent cotter pin in the mud and, holding it in his teeth, uses it to pick the lock on his manacles. A text box at least attempts to justify this by pointing out that Batman has spent countless hours teaching himself how to pick very complex locks with extremely crude tools. | |

U.S. Marshals: Mark Sheridan breaks the arm off the sunglasses of his arresting officer and later uses it to pick his handcuffs after the transport plane crashes. The next day Agent Royce does the same thing after Sam Gerard handcuffs him during an argument. Gerard, who witnessed Sheridan's escape attempt, immediately notes that he's seen the skill before, foreshadowing the reveal that Sheridan and Royce used to work together and received similar training. | |

Mystery Science Theater 3000: In ''Space Mutiny", the Mads are imprisoned in Ancient Rome, and Bobo tries to cough up a key to escape. (Not because he lifted a key from the guards, but because "I've swallowed so many things over the years, there's bound to be a key in there somewhere!") The best he can get is a hairpin, but that's enough to pick the locks and free the Mads. | |

When trying to get into the principal's office, Chloe tries to pick the lock with hairpins (claiming she learned how to from Frank). Subverted, in that she'll never succeed; the player, as Max, texts Warren how to build a pipe bomb, does so, blasts the door open, and then rewinds time so she can unlock the door from the inside. | |

The alien who gives them this assignment provides them with the key to open the door, but it disintegrates upon being picked up.

Get Smart Double Subverted when Max has to get the Chief's phone from a locked box while the Chief is kidnapped. Max goes to a special hidden file cabinet and pulls out a piece of paper. He goes to the wall safe and uses the paper to open the combination door to the safe... then gets a hammer from the safe and bashes the locked box with it so he can get to the phone inside. The Hairpin Lockpick trope is also spoofed, with Max wearing a hairpin solely for that purpose instead of using an actual lockpick. |

The Amazing World of Gumball: Subverted in "The Robot": When Gumball can't open his locker (Bobert stole his identity and changed the lock), he pulls out and unfolds a paperclip. Instead of using it as a lockpick, he pokes himself in the butt, forcing the door open via head-first Pain-Powered Leap. In "The Points", Gumball shapes one of his fingers into a paper clip, which he then unbends to make a lock pick. |

Batwoman (2019) In the pilot episode, Kate Kane palms a paperclip from Bruce Wayne's desk before putting her hands up after being caught breaking into his office. It's no surprise when she gets free of her handcuffs. "Mine is a Long and Sad Tale". In a flashback scene, Beth Kane as a child pulls a nail from the wall and uses it to briefly escape from the basement she's imprisoned in. In the present day Kate Kane is handcuffed in the same room but can't reach the nail, so uses a hobnail from her motorcycle boots. |
