I have a problem with this lock i picked it like 3 times but its hard for me because:

- pins are on the bottom
-the cylinder moves
-the lock was used many times so its hard to feel pins

Any suggestions ?

Turn the pick upside down.

Try harder to feel the pins.

Dude, what do you want us to say?

1) Don't pick locks you rely on. Since that lock is mounted, I presume it is "in use". Ask yourself this question: "If I bugger up this lock, how screwed am I?". If you're not reeeaaaallly comfortable with your answer to that, don't pick it.

2) Go to the top of the PickFu section of this site and look for the sticky called Beginner Lockpicking Exercise. This will help you learn to feel the pins.

Good luck, and happy picking!

Ok i figured out how this lock works:

- More tension was needed
- More slowly picking the pins

And i opened it :) now its easy :]
