Congratulations!! Glad to see you finally got things to work your way. Probably the biggest lock, physically, I ever picked was one of those really big nasty looking solid zinc Master locks. The owner just assumed that bigger means more pick resistant, and so I was challenged. The lock with the most pins that I have been able to pick are Best 7 pin SFIC. I do have a Kaba Gemini waiting for its day though.

The lock with the most pins I have ever picked is also a BEST 7 pin SFIC or a 7 pin tubular if that counts. I have been trying to purchase a Mul-T-Lock that has 5 pin within a pin pins (I hope that makes sense) which is effectivly a 10 pin lock but from the notes on Matt Blaze's website it is more like two five pin locks instead of one 10 pin lock.

The biggest I picked was a 9 pin kaba lock found on those new autolocks.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

Congratulations.

Most I've ever picked was (I think) ten. But it was dumb luck, and I haven't been able to do it again. Also, isn't a very quality lock.

I've been trying to get one on ebay for the last couple of days. I've picked the rest of the locks I have so I'm thinking a Mul T Lock might be fun to play around with.

Sorry didn't answer your question. It is not lack of funds its just I would rather save some money by buying one off of ebay instead of buying one new.

yea, i got two of mine off ebay.

got the other one from http://shop.store.yahoo.com/citywidesec ... lemultlock ...55$ and up. pretty good deals...

bid on a lock on eBay from hodjipodji or something like that (guy always sells mul-t-locks), anyways, even if you lose the bid if it's near the max they'll usually offer to sell you one. they'll also let you choose the shackle size and offer you extra keys for extra $ if you want any via email when the auction is done...
