Is anybody having problems picking or opening these new 6 pin yale locks with the first 2 pins being hardened steel and having hard plate around the inside of the lock face covering the fixing screws as well as the 2 anti drill pins between the first 2 pins oh not forgetting the ball bearing in the front of the first pin and the 4 anti pick pins to the rear of the lock, these locks are now replacing the old basic yale cylinder found in all the superstore, just wondered if anybody else has found a simple way to beat them, after many hrs work we have made an excellent set of rap keys to open them but they still only work 95% of the time im sure somebody on here has made a better system for opening these locks, I dont mean electric pick guns or manually picking im looking for a 100% success rate 100% damage free in the shortest possible time.
