CURTAIN PICK SAME AS NON CURTAIN????

Postby dan7 » 8 Nov 2005 15:43

Will need to buy a pick or two for getting past lever locks. As a beginner, I'm not sure whether the picks for curtains will work on locks without curtains. Does that make sense? What does everybody recommend? i live in the city. :?

hi dan
the locks without a curtain can be picked with two L shaped wires or a 2 in 1 pick in generaly
the locks with a curtain will need a bs style pick that turns the curtain to tension the bolt and the wire is a different style as well. these can also be picked with two wires with alot of practice generaly
do some searching and you will find :shock:
hope this helps

no
you will have to buy the two types of pick mate or go for the two wires option but they will take loads and loads of practice to use more than the tons for the 2in1 or the tons and tons for any of the bs picks
