If it has a security collar around the lock,then you are either going to have to buy a specialist curtain pick,which are not meant to be that good or a special chubb pick made for that type of lock.Both of these type of picks are quite expensive and hard to get hold of,unless you are a locksmith.
This is why most locksmiths will simply drill them to get them open.
If it doesn'thave a curtain then a two in one pick should do the job,or a set of wires.
I take it you are using just standard lever type try out keys ( jigglers)
There are pictures of wire picks and the two in one pick at my web sight.

If you're just starting out, I'd suggest that you don't start with a Chubb - you haven't said which model it is, some respond to impressioning, others the drill and some can be bypassed using other means.

Get a cheap 3 lever to start with and practice, practice, practice.

Most Chubbs have a collar/barrel and shouldn't be played with until you are very confident with what you are doing.

If you are looking at an insurance approved lock, I would suggest you use a key.
sledgehammers make excellent back up picks!
