First lock successful.

[seraine]

I got a 8 piece lock picking set about an hour ago. Unfortunately, I lacked a good first lock. Fortunately, the local Napa had a Master #3. I felt it a bit and figured out (with a bit of guesswork) where the first and second binding pins where. I gave a couple rakes to get the first one, SPP the second, and gave a couple more rakes. Viola! It popped open.

Now that I've gotten lucky, it's time to get a deadbolt and follow db's method.

Congrats! The No. 3 is the first lock many people try their hand at. Expect one or two more pins and much better feedback when you get your deadbolt.
