Don'y really understand the question you are asking... :?

What Master lock are you trying to pick (e.g. Master #xx), and what are the 'usual' locks you refer to? Kwikset, Weiser, Truevalue....?

Fill in your location, so we can get a grasp of the 'usual' locks you may be encountering.

Someone's gonna say it... and it has to be said.

Use the search feature, it's very handy. I searched and read for 2 or 3 months before I even created a profile for myself. There are massive amounts of useful information out there, that will take you way beyong where I am at right now without even asking a single question.

It's best only to ask about things you can't find with the search, as you may unpredictably come across some.

"Master Lock" is just a brand name, mate. There's nothing special about them.

You have to be a bit more specific on exactly what Master you are talking about. Generally, Masters are not that hard to pick, although they do make some better locks and the ones with the replaceable cores are as hard to pick as the core in them is. I do find laminated master locks has a different 'feel' when you pick them. It was hard for me when I was starting to get the hang of it at first. I believe it is because the cylinder 'floats' around a little bit inside the lock housing.

Nothing. Master Lock is a pin timbler like any other. They may employ an occasional spool or mushroom but that's it. Nothing special. For the sake of your reputation, please stop writing "wut," that irks people.

He apparently is either incapable of communicating through english, or has neglected to review any responses directed to him and both of these possibilities provide sufficient reason to refrain from further response.
