I have picked quite a few locks but my picks just won't fit this lock.

Any sugestions. I tried a hairpin and a bent injection needle. Both din't work. Becouse the pins are running trough the profile.

Find a really nice slimline medium and small hook pick. Also a medium and small diamond. Just about anything else in there is useless with the exception of certain types of slimline rakes.

When opening Evva, I usually start with an HPC2000 snake or maybe the HPC2000 DeForest/teardrop pick, give it a few strokes which usually is enough to get it to turn a few degrees (mushroom/spool pins engaging etc.) and the I finish up with the HPC2000 hook.
It's not the tools that open the lock. It's me.

I'm not sure about Holland, but there are some excellent suppliers in the UK which will ship to you.

PM Pinky, and ask him. He is in the UK after all, and I believe he can steer you in the right direction.
