Lock pick in Europe

Postby Stabilowithme » 21 Feb 2021 16:09

I live in Poland so the keyways are much smaller. So I went online and searched for some hooks for Euro locks. And now I have a question?

Should I buy hook (0,20)

or hook(0,22)

Which one will be better for European keyways and locks?


Thanks Marcin:D

The sort of "standard" thickness is .25, and that does actually work in many key ways, even i Europe.

If that doesn't work, I would suggest that you go to .15, just .22 or .20 will not make much difference.
