Paracentric keyways

[Afisch]

I just bought some new locks online. I'm sure people here have come across harder keyways, such as the one Shrub posted a long time ago...

I have very little experiance picking anything much more restrictive than a basic Y1 profile.

The two cylinders I am looking at are some WinkHaus and ASSA cylinders. I got a great deal.

Is there any advice at to what to do against such keyways? They seem to pose quite a challenge. I will post pictures if requested, thanks.

What I previously posted isn't quite right, the ASSA keyway is completely unrestrictive. The WinkHaus and unbranded eurocylinder are however.

There ain't much you can do against the keyway, but you can use smaller picks aka slimlines.
There are even more restricted keyways, like Necoloc and Dom R5 wich are a pain to get a pick inside let alone move it to push the pins.

I had to adapt some picks to get in there, but it still wasn't easy to pick them.
I guess that's the reason they made them restricted .
