hi all, I am new to the forums,

I have been able to pick all the padlocks I have seen so far, but these two are stumpers :shock: .

I have researched and found that they are paracentric.

I am able to set the last three pins but the first one wont set, any ideas?

Thanks.

Yes, but you won't like it.....


Practice. :)

You may also have a spool or two in there. That would make things a bit harder, especially if you've not had to deal with them before.

Happy picking. :)

Practice makes perfect :P
Got both of them, they need a lot of tension and the first pin is tough to set

Yes they have spools. Or at least, the 55/30 does. I haven't picked it personally but a locksmith I visited had a cut-away verson of it, and I counted 3 spools.
