Designed for European and Japanese locks, SouthOrd Slim Line picks work beautifully on all U.S. pin tumbler locks with small or narrow keyways.

Note: The standard non-slimline versions of the picks also work fine on UK locks. I have used the standard size ones for a while now and found that 95% of the time they work fine.

I thought i needed slim line ones...lol cose i live in the uk.
Does any one else have trouble with the normal sized lock picks in uk locks?

by **Quin** » 19 Mar 2004 18:08

Garbit,

The standard lock pick set will open pretty much all UK locks including Yales which do have tiny key ways.

Some people actually prefer the standard lock picks and have more trouble with the slim line.

Don't panic if you think you've ordered the wrong one. PM me or email me if you want to change the order.

KK, i will probably get the normall ones then, im ordering from that devon website..
theres a starter set on there with the little book but i thought that would b useless..

I need help lol!!

But i will have a look around the site and find some others.

There is a slightly larger set for a couple more quid here..normall size ones.
EIGHT PIECE LOCK PICK SET - MORE DETAILS | Â£16.95

FIVE PIECE LOCK PICK SET - MORE DETAILS | Â£14.95
This little instruction book/lock pick set combination was designed for police officers and is capable of opening virtually all pin tumbler locks. All four basic pick designs are included â€“ hook, ball, diamond, and rake, plus a tension tool, neatly housed in a top quality snapover leather case.

And thats the same price as the other 5 piece set.

Pah you bandwidth stealer

Seriously though as I said in my PM the MPXS-11 is only Â£4 more and you get 3 tention wrenches plus a double-sided slimline pick so you get the best of all worlds.

Are yale locks easily picked or able to be picked using standard sized lock picks?

by **Quin** » 20 Mar 2004 4:37

Yale are getting on for the top end and hard to pick locks because they have 2 security pins.

Until you understand how the pins work you will have a hard time understanding when a security pin gives a fake set.

The standard set will pick these but it is tight (I tend to use the half diamond as the hook is too big)

Im that desperate to start lock picking i have now made my own lockpicks out of paper clips..lol
I have a yale lock infront of me, its a pad lock with 5 pins, and its a bit old.
Im having troble with my home made wrench because its quite flimsy.

I am ordering my pick set today, hopefully the 11 pick set if not deffinatly the 8!

by **Garbit** » 20 Mar 2004 5:45

Im on my WAY!!
I got the first pin..lol its up there and i think its picked, its held correctly i think.. great only 4 more to go..

Take Quin's advice and don't start learning on proper "Yales", get yourself a "Bird" or "Ross" cylinder to start learning what you're doing. Yales are not the best beginners lock - if you've get a false set on the Yale you won't be able to feel the difference.

Thanks, im gonna have to take a trip to my local lock shop then.
Will standard locks work with bird locks? or any other locks
I have a lock that is either called GCGC or GGGC or some thing like that and i was wondering have any of you lot heard of it and can it be picked with standard sized lock picks?
