be really gentle with tension, and there might be security bins in there, if there is, its really hard to pick.

see with the tension wrench would you put pressure on it until it gets to the bit it get stuck at then pick it because I need to use some tension to turn the lock until it gets to this point. I am not sure how to explain this but I hope you know what I mean. Thank for your quick reply so far. I will master this if it take me a year. (only like a week left ) :mrgreen:

im really sure there are no security pins in it.

Just take your time and practice read the tutorials posted around this site and you will get it in no time.

There is no secret ninja way to open a lock with a set of picks its all about learning what you are doing learning what you are feeling and knowing what you are picking.

 I have a tri-circle brass padlock *(PR6088 50mm) and I just can't open it.
 I have tried for 4 days and have opened it twice which is good
 because then I know that it's possible. Any tips and/or tricks on how to
 deal with this padlock would be appreciated. The pick set I'm using is the
 southord **mpxs-20. Thank you for your time.

Before you pick a lock:
The first thing that you should do is check to make sure that
the lock is your's and secondly make sure its not in use.
