Another question was, “How does a barrel lock work?”
As a safety precaution, the barrel is allowed to rotate freely inside the housing when closed. The ability to freely rotate the lock increases the lock’s resistance against picking. There will be two types of keys for the lock: a screw type key that rotates into the lock and a plunger type key that is pushed into the keyway (typically with a handle).
How can you pick a barrel lock with a paperclip, and what tools do you need?
Begin by unwinding one paperclip so that it is straight with a hook at the end and another paperclip so that it is bent at a 90-degree angle. This will allow you to pick the lock. Then, using the bent end of the second paperclip, put it into the lock and spin it in the same direction as the lock’s rotation.
People also inquire as to how to pick a barrel lock, which is another common question.
Insert the pick carefully into the lock, enabling the picking needles to map to the correct pin stacks while the pick is in place. With the pick, slowly crank it from left to right, and the lock should burst open. (See illustration) Once the lock has been picked, remove the tubular lock pick and tighten the collar around the lock cylinder.

The concern is that if you are careless when you take the lock off, you may accidentally cut the gas line, resulting in an explosion. Even if you remove the lock and flip the valve to the ON position, the gas will continue to be stopped by a solid washer (disc) that has been installed in the inlet or outflow sleeve couplings, which are positioned adjacent to the metre body and are not removable.
