newbie question/help

When you're in prison.... you improvise. Correct? For example:

- making alcohol from old fruit and yeast stolen from the kitchen/bakery
- making pipes from pens
- making shivs (knives/stabbing tools) from just about anything
- making syringes from pens and sandals
- fending off ERT members with pipes, pieces of 4x2, socks with soap in them and bags of rubbish and warm piss.
- etc.....

Sometimes you gotta sit back and thank your lucky stars for the job you've got. It may not be great.... but it could be a h*ll of a lot worse.

back to the original post on this thread, can you imagine the guy picking the lock with the whole team standing too close making comments like how fast it worked in the movie they saw and adding their lack of confidence etc. If I was doing the job, I would insist that no one be anywhere near to watch and kibbitz. It is my belief that you can jinx a lockpicker by opening your mouth and laying down critizism or expectations, all of this causes frustration and interupts concentration. Why didn't they use an electro pick, power tools negate the need for skill.

I am curious about what you've read that makes it seem like its a back to front deal. Lots of newbies have this misconception. I wonder if we are just doing a bad job of writing intro guides. Help would be appreciated.

I thought this was recommended because it makes it easier to pick a tricky high-low combination if you set high setting pin(s) in the back first. I've read this in a couple of guides too.

You can olny set pins in the correct order, setting them back to front or front to back or whatever will not result in the correct picking of that lock unless that particular lock actually sets in that order.

The picking order is random on each lock, i will conceede the fact that a lock that comes from a certain machine in a certain factory right after another may possably bind the same order but whats the chances of finding locks like that unless ordered.

I just picked up a Ultramax on sale and its the hardest kwikset I have seen. Thats not saying much but at least it has spool pins. I can't believe someone could spend 2 hours on one. I have played with mine and a friend has one both of them are rakeable, and you can overlift the spools and just let them fall back down. If someone put harder springs like from a schlage and some spools on the back pins it might be hard.
