To see what one of the picks might look like, go to newsparkling trading co and under the locksmiths section, look for the part # 1097, this one is top of the stack tensioning and it will work on that cheap chinese lock you have,
the lock is a good one and will keep out anyone who is without the pick just as well as some high security locks will.
tensioning is extremely light, and you only have to fiddle the pick tip back and forth at each of the discs in turn, don't try to feel anything, just light tension, and when the can turns, you will feel that.
With this pick, its not even a skill, its just inevitable that it will pick fairly quickly if you don't over tension or over intellectualize and think youself into a knot. Just dont try to open it, just start twiddleing the discs around and then move to the next disc, the discs know where they want to be and don't force them to do what you want as the lock is smarter than you.
These locks are knockoffs of the abloy system, still made best by abloy, none of what I said about them applies to the original abloys.
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!
This crap of having to scroll sideways to read a post has me thinking of just disabling the attachment feature it gets under my skin so much. (No offense to the OP as you likely didn't know just how big they would post as). I'll get off my soap box now
