Hey, ive been picking for 3 days and come across a lock that i'm having a problem with. I've picked cabinet doors, my house doors, and a deadbolt, but this combo lock is just throwing me off. Ive gotten to the point in clicking all the pins in place and turning the keyhole, but the key doesnt turn past 90 degrees. It just stops... any help would be appreciated. here are some pics to clarify my situation.

It is picked in the wrong direction, try picking it the other way. You might need to jiggle the shackle after picking it the other way, too.

I've only picked one of these (it's such a pain getting tools in that it's not much fun), but remember that the shackel does not spring open like a keyed padlock. I was torquing the wrench way over waiting for something to happen when all I had to do was pull on the shackel .
On my lock (an American) the tailpiece of the cylinder directly pushes the pawl out of the notch in the shackel, so you have to turn hard enough to overcome the same spring that provides resistance when you close the lock. If the Master uses the same mechanism than you actually should be turning in the correct direction.

This case could be different, but all of the Masters combo locks I have picked require you to turn the key inward, towards the center of the lock.

my only advice is to pick it the other way, i have a similar lock and it picks clockwise. usally master locks pick counter clockwise but i think the combanation picks clockwise... if your trying to just get it open i would read thishttp://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/189/48/[/quote]
