I have finally picked my nemesis, the brinks shrouded!

I have been fighting in vain for quite a few months now, and now thanks to Romstars quote

Reach to the rear, and try to set that one first. Or you could over lift it, and then set the rest.

I have had a few locks with that low then high combo trick, and most of the time, I just reach in ...

I was working on it tonight as I was reformatting the hard drive on my main box, and suddenly I felt it drop and then a little more and finally I set the first pin and bingo it opened and I just about crapped a brick with shock. It was quite cool Thanks guys!!

I'm just jazzed

When you finally pick your first Hard lock (or at least hard to you) You kinda wanna mount it and put it over your firepace don't cha'

wait til you snap it shut to go and do it again. it might take months to do again. in which case, you go absolutely nuts in the process.

trust..... ive been there before myself......

You've beat the old brinks shrouded!! A nice lock for the money to practice on for sure. Now a step up would be an american 700 6 pin. Same keyway, same number of pins, but much better tolerances.

Congrats on your pick though .

You should snap it shut and do it again right away while the memory is in your fingers. after a while you will be able to do it consistently You might be handicapped if you do not have slimline picks, and the trick with this lock is to go light on the tension, Also if you are picking it a lot, I hope at least the top edge of your pick is well sanded.
