This book is a short guide to the popular Klom Electronic Pick Gun.
Like any electronic picking tool the Klom helps to speed up the picking process.
The tool is not a sonic screwdriver though and cannot simply be waved at a
lock to make it open. It requires proper use and correct technique to get the
most from it and the most efficient results. Therefore, this guide has been
produced to help you to get the best results from the Klom electronic pick gun
and to ensure that you are opening locks with it in the shortest time possible.
This guide is relatively short. It is aimed at providing an introduction to the world
of locks and lock picking on this particular topic. Although it is an introduction
there is valuable information to be learned from this guide.
The aim of this book is to give you a no-nonsense guide to this topic and to arm
you with only the information you need. Written in plain English and free of
jargon it pulls together the best tips and info to get you up to speed on the
subject as quickly as possible.
Also, check out the full series of reports from www.withoutakey.co.uk to further
your knowledge and expertise in lockpicking.

Before you do anything with the Klom it is recommended that you carry out the
following steps.
The first thing that you will need to do after receiving your Klom EPG
is to get it fully charged.
Once you plug the charger in to an adapter and set it charging
you will notice a red light on the charger unit. This red light will
change to a green light once the Klom is fully charged.
Whilst the unit is charging you can attach the ‘U’ shaped clip to
the head piece. It is the U shaped clip that will actually hold the
picks/probes in place.
Locate the U clip and the bolt from
the box of attachments and fit into
place. You don’t need to tighten it
fully until you have inserted a pick as
well. So move onto the next step.

From the box of attachments choose a pick that you want to use.
You will probably want to experiment with the different shapes to
see what size you prefer and what you have the most success with.
It’s a bit like choosing normal picks – everyone will have their
favourite shaped pick and find they work better with one in partic-
ular.
Insert the pick under the U clamp you fitted in the above step and
tighten into place.
Once the Klom has fully charged you can now attach the head
piece to the body. By looking at the head and the end of the Klom
you should be able to see how the two parts align. You will need
to twist the head into place and you simply reverse this motion
when you want to remove the head section.
When attaching the head you might find that it doesn't want to go on. If this is
the case then the reason is simply because of the orientation of the black cam
mechanism on the actual body
of the lock. It will simply be butting
up against the back of the probe
mechanism rather than sitting un-
der it. You just need to depress
the trigger, or rotate the cam
mechanism with your fingers a
little, so that it doesn't butt up
against it and the head can then
go on easily.

Push the sliding direction bar fully to the left or right. The side that
you push this to doesn't matter when the normal head is attached.
The direction is only relevant if the drill head is attached. For the
normal head that creates the up and down motion the direction
that the drive mechanism moves
in is not relevant because either
way the mechanism will still go up
and down. It is important to ensure
that the direction switch is fully
pushed either to the left or right
because if you have it in the mid-
dle the gun will not operate.
On the top of the head you will see an adjustment screw. The
more that this is turned clockwise the more the screw enters the
head. This has the effect of pushing down on the levering probe
more and so the more it pushes it down the less movement there
will be. It is suggested that you start off with less movement and
then gradually unscrew that adjustment screw to create more movement of
the pick/probe as is desired.
You should now be ready to start picking!
