this lock have especial pins

I don't get what you mean by this, security pins or something different?

You might want to consider polishing up those pick it will help make them smoother to work with

Good job!

the lock have spool driver, or mushroom driver.

this lock have a good resistence to pick gun for exemple.

i have tried to open 4 new locks at work. only one of 4 be opened with pick gun.
But i open all 4 locks with picks.

Hello...


I am new to this.. Can someone explain to me what a "SPool Pin" is ? I do know what a mushroom pin is by now... But the other one eludes me.

They look like a cable spool. Or one of the plastic things sewing thread is put on.

Thanks a lot...

What do you do when you encounter one of those? They give you a false "positive", right?


BTW...
The MIT Guide was really right... Its so easy i dont belive it

I managed to open 3 Locks (REALLY cheap childrens bicycle lock, decent bycicle lock i found clipped on the street, and a cheapo 5 pin door lock for 4 $ from a shop to practice... Now i only need to get myself to repin it) with my home made pick already (Made from a sawblade on a grindind wheel.... A hook pin, but the angle is not perfect since i have trouble working on the 5th pin on my cheapo-door lock)

...with my home made pick already (Made from a sawblade on a grindind wheel.... A hook pin, but the angle is not perfect since i have trouble working on the 5th pin on my cheapo-door lock)

try to make another one with different angle,
make it wide enough so you can file its tip a little bit whit a round shaped
file, u know like a u shaded hole on it, you can get a better "grip" on the pin.
also you might consider making of this half diamond styled pick
that has same kind of curve on the tip.
hope you understand my poor english, its hard to describe things when not
knowing al the needed words...

after all im not sure if the picks i describet are any good, but i found them
working well in my use...

"shaded" was supposed to be "shaped".
