I can only efficiently pick it with the pins closes to my body, and holding it quite firmly. Also with the wrench on the pin side.
I'm trying to get the hang of doing it upside down and hanging (like it would be on my dad's gate)
That way if I'm caught outside his house and can't get in, I can still manage.
Seems a lot harder. Takes me 2 to 3 times as long, and sometimes can't get it at all.
I think the problem is that I end up switching the wrench to my left hand, and I don't have the same sort of feeling there
