Unlockthelock,
I don’t have any experience with an almirah lock in particular, but from by experience with other lever locks, here’s my advise.
- Its important to realise that if you have been used to picking pin tumblers that the amount of torque required on lever locks is far more. (Probably obvious)
- There is no set order in which the levers should be lifted. They should be dealt with by lifting the one that gives most resistance.
- If you are using improvised tools, ensure that the thickness and shape of the lifter is suited to the levers in the lock and the turner is strong enough to apply the required force without giving.
- As everyone always says practice is what’s required
A couple of other thoughts,
- if the levers don’t have any false notches have you tried overlifting them?
- I found that using 2-wires I struggled to get good feed back but with a home made 2-1 locks which I were struggling with earlier were far easier.
I may be telling you what you already know but i hope I’ve helped
