Bought some warded lock picks and was able to open those padlocks—though they (the picks) did have a tendency to get alarmingly stuck. But it worked. And I finally beat that accursed Brinks R70. I can't quite SPP it yet, my skills aren't that leveled-up yet. But I can consistently rake it open or rock it open, with a Bogota or city rake, respectively. I actually modified one of my Bogotas, by rounding off its points with some metal files my girlfriend let me borrow, and that worked wonders. I got the idea from one of her picks, that came from Peterson—a Sine Quint, or some such. She and I were both able to open the Brinks with that, so I gave my Bogota the same sort of rounding, and it works marvelously on the Brinks. Thank you all so much for your help and advice. It feels really good to have finally beaten both the warded locks and the Brinks that had vexed me for so long.
Congratulations on your accomplishment!
