raking or 1 at a time?

by **bbri06** » 30 Nov 2006 22:28

well i am very new to lockpicking and would like to know if raking or setting the pins 1 at a time is easier? i am guessing raking and how easy is it? i stick to something better if i can do once

SPP or single pin picking in many cases is easier and in others raking... some times the combination of both is best but I suggestSPP to learn on

The binding pin will be the one thats harder to push up or feels like it is "binding". Hope that helps, though sometimes I have a hard time knowing for sure if I've got the binding pin but its getting easier the more I practice. Just keep practicing it gets easier.
As to whether single pin picking or raking is easier well, I try to single pin pick because I'm trying to build on that skill. But I find that the easiest method to pick the locks that I'm working with would be to go through and get most of the pins set then to rake it a couple of times then it pops right open. In fact I have yet to "purely" rake a lock open but I guess I just haven't practiced enough (I'm still very much a noob but I'm learning more about it all the time)
Hope you found something useful or the information you were looking for within all that, sorry I'm really long winded.

I never could get into raking. I usually just pick one pin at a time

raking is almost always faster if it works, but you should learn to spp so won't be helpless against locks that resist raking.

raking or 1 at a time?
