Hello Lock Picking group. I see that it is actually an alive forum with many active members so I joined.
My question is already stated as the subject, but I'll go into more detail here:
After reading
http://home.howstuffworks.com/lock-picking6.htm I decided to make my own pick out of a paper clip and tension wretch.
I don't understand how the top pins stay up after you turn the thing with the tension wretch.
This leads to my second question--Do you always have to start from back to front? I tried to put the front pin up and it was successful because my eyes could see it stay up, but then it always drops back down after I start to work on the second pin no matter how hard I turn the tension wretch.
Please help.
Third question: how big should the pick's semi-circle head be? Please go to the website I had above to see what I'm talking about.
Okay I think that's it. I'm all new into lock-picking but I don't think I'll give it up until I succeed, hopefully. I will not be with a computer until Saturday evening (yes! Field trip!! Yay!!!), so don't be surprised if I don't respond to your answers for the next few days.
