Conventional picks.

Apply tension, lift the wafer which feels the most resistant, keep lifting untill you feel the plug turn slightly.

Apply tension, and rake the lock with a half diamond, or rake pick.

Lift all the wafers with the pick as high as they go, use stronfg tension to kee them lifted, then gently rake the wafers whilst reducing tension slightly - they should set and the lock open.

Yeah, that usually works out with me.

by **illusion** » 19 Feb 2006 17:50

Well there's wafers on the top and wafers on the bottom in a double wafer lock.

Thank you, come-again, shut the door behind you.

Just rake it down then up or vice versa and keep changing up and down till it opens. Usualy wafers are very easy, at least the ones I came across with. I've been told that there are some that are harder to pick than normal pin tumbler locks,but I never saw any. You can try to pick it but I think you might do it just fine only by raking.

If you can pick pin tumblers you can manage wafer locks just fine, I found this out to be true anyway.

I've always just used a raking technique. And so far, it's worked every time.

Yes.

I never ever use the pin picking method on wafers,
Cause there so easy of locks that they can kinda be Fun!

I havnt picked many locks that are wafers but my garage door is a wafer, And it is Very easy, Insert pick lift all the wafers, Insert wrench and turn.

Some just need a rake. Best way is to Rake.

Well, I Can Open Many Of The Pin Tumblers Lock but Havent Opened Any Wafer Lock, So I wanted To Try A Wafer Lock, So I Got A Wafer Lock at one of my Drawers, Its Doubled Sided, I dont KNow Exactly But The Its Key Has Both Sides Up & Downs, I need to KNoW as there are Wafers At Both Sides, Where I Will Insert Tension Wrench And How This Picking Works, Cuz i Have Not Seen Guides On Picking Wafer Locks, All guides are About Pin-Tumblers Mostly.

Thanks

You would find it easier using a different tension tool on wafer locks similar to these

I agree with Tattoo Guy, If you'er going to pick double sided wafer locks, buy or make a tension tool like the one he linked to.

They're VERY easy to pick- Raking seems to work best on them for me, and I most confess I've never even tried picking a wafer lock Pin by pin.

I use a half diamond or half ball for single sided wafer locks, and a ball or diamond for double sided locks (e.g. Some car locks).

Hope this helps,

Thanks Guyz, I have Seen that Pick, But i cant buy it Online, Can You Tell Me How To Make it At Home? and I m bit Puzzled about it, If we put tension wrench which has two legs, inside the lock, how can we pick it? i mean where are wafers?
