it is a pretty easy lock and good for beguinners. i think it may have been my first lock. i was stoked that you put the key first cause i got to guess from that and i was right, made me feel special. anyways, you need two things, a tension wrench and a pick. you should read the MIT guide and the posts on this site. also know that if the answer is already here somewhere, you will probably just get a generally broad answer and told to search. there are doezens of posts about home made stuff so i suggest searching for "homemade" and read the first page of posts.

it's a pretty standard looking wafer cam lock, should be quite easy to pick but i wouldn't recommend it as a good lock for learning how to pick on as wafer locks are a little too easy and might lead to bad habits.

Yes them locks are very easy there is only 3 types


1) The wafers have to be all put to the top (easy!!!)

2) The wafers have to be all put to the center (hard but still simple)

3) Car doors if you ever go to a scrapyard and maybe you know someone there they might give you a lock of a car Theese will have dust caps on them its really just a gate that you need to push threw to see the wafers.

( please do not use any of this information for picking into a mates or strangers car ) Thx :D

yes okay there is a topic how to take the lock to parts and how to put it back together

hmm
okay lets say i have a pick and wrenches
how i place them into lock
i have a wafer lock
do i put wrenched up and pick down
and try setting those waffers or smthing
(my first time .. so i may talk in a strange way )
so i just turn with wrench and press down with pick until i can turn it right?
i am also wondering...how the hell those wafers stay down..why dont they pop up?

Lets say your wafer is like this http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/lock-picking-5.jpg

put your tension either top or bottom aplly little tension and rake the wafers for about 6 seconds this should pop your wafer open or just pi pick it front ot back :)
