?? what's not ready for production? Sorry I'm lost.

Anyways, I'm suprised that this thread caught so much attention. I've picked a good handful of locks but apparently they were all very simple locks, but when I came across a good lock i got owned. I've come to a realization that lockpicking isn't all that easy as some people make it sound. Also, I feel that, that also goes for bumping. because I've been unsuccessful in that too.. (that and I don't have a variety of locks to work with anyways but you get the point)..

Try wrenching from the top of the keyway. A narrow wiper insert is great for this, just bend the end like a regular tension wrench, but make the L part very, very short.

[quote="Ben WV"]Then experiment with pivoting on a ward at the front of the keyway versus putting your index finder under the pick shank and lifting it.quote]

Then do this.
