Hi,

Do a search for things like BS locks, BS picks, 2 in 1 picks, curtain picks, 2 wires, 5 lever, 3 lever, etc and you should get quite a bit of info.

Basically, you can pick lever locks without security curtains with two wires or a 2 in 1 pick and lever locks with a curtain with a curtain wheel pick or specific BS pick/decoder.

These are threads of many - viewtopic.php?t=4246&highlight=curtain and viewtopic.php?t=4200&highlight=curtain

the most basic form of picking a basic 3 lever lock is as follows, strip the lock and examine it fully, get a feel and understanding for it. you will see a V cut out in the Bolt tail known as the Talon, you need to insert an L shape wire into this talon through the keyway and apply tension to open, this tension will force one of the levers to bind and become stiffer to lift than the rest. you then lift each lever 1 at a time with another smaller L shape wire until the lock picks, you need to read my post on picking lever locks with curtain picks and 2 in 1 picks, the principle is the same for 2 wires.
