How To Pick a Yale Lock The Tool
To pick a Yale lock you will need a metal pry tool which can be made from two thin pieces of flexible metal. Bend one of the pieces at 90 degree angle to form your torque while the other one should be bent to form a pyramid to form your pick.

Slide the torque with the bent side facing up into the bottom of the keyhole and turn it to the side as if unlocking the door and apply some pressure. The pick tool should go into the keyhole pyramid facing up and move it back and forth keeping pressure on it.
How To Pick a Yale Lock – Technique
Listen carefully for the clicks when the pins are knocked into place and as Yale has five pins you will need to hear five clicks maintaining pressure on the torque throughout. When all the pins are moved the pressure from the torque should do the rest.

response from Kate
You can not pick a deadbolt lock. A key hole lock surely with the right tools to choose (even does a credit card, it was done when I locked myself out of my own office), a bar has no external opening, and sinks deep into the door frame, so there is no way locomotion by cutting it short. And really, How Many home invaders with a thin blade wear ‘em with the intention of cutting a through-bolt lock? You’ll be okay, try not to worry about.
