No, it remains raking or picking (assuming it's NDE).

So long story short, here's what you can do:
In goes the wrench, in goes the pick, wiggle a bit, open.

I'd advise you to do some research, but i'll restrain myself from doing so.

Ahem.


Yours,

Jordy

Hmm... picking them open takes like 10 seconds anyway, and I'm not even kidding.

Unless you wish to damage the lock, then there really isn't a faster way for single row wafer locks.

I'd kindly ask you not to create a new topic for essentialy the same thing you asked before.

Thanks. :)

I agree with illusion, there about as easy as it gets, i was lucky i was walking through wallmart and they were redoing the jewlry section, and i saw in a box all these wafer locks i asked if they were gonna trash them, ofcourse the said yes so i op'ed to take them. The handed over no problem. I thought umm free locks? niceeee but anyway the ten locks i got were all typical wafers and to say the least for something protecting diamonds.. well wal mart diamonds :P they were horrible, two seconds basically the time it took my standard snake to run two passes on the wafers and click... there really no challenge, i would suggest a kwickset, there good for repinning and practicing.
