What have you got a single wafer tumbler on?
Personally i dont see the point, i wouldnt call it a lock, stick anything in there and turn basically.

Ahhhh skold, you are a mean, mean man.
Matt, I don't think there is such a thing as a single wafer lock. The minimum amount I've seen is three. Have another look. 
Some things may be pick proof, but everything can be bypassed....

I think he is referring to a wafer lock, as opposed to a double wafer lock.
In which case, I'd stick anything you like in it and
tickle the wafers, while turning the keyway with
slight pressure.

Seriously though. I have actually seen a lock with only one wafer on a cheap Floppy Disc Case. I picked it with just a tension wrench.

Well if you can tickle fish, why not locks ?

It's all about the tension . . .
