About this sound

“Burglary tools in Action”
Jayden, when he first posted this sound on YouTube in March 2025

This is somebody picking a door lock. It's a bunch of little metal scrapes, ticks and clicks running for about 9 seconds, mid-range and pretty quiet. Turn it up a bit for a heist or break-in scene.

Editing notes

Measured from this file.

  • It's −29.4 LUFS, about 11 dB quieter than the typical sound here (−18.2 LUFS). So you'll probably need to turn it up when you swap it in.
