First of all, let me say i'm new to this sport and have only just started picking locks as a hobby since the last couple of days. After reading lots of valuable information on these forums, I managed to pick my first ever padlock in less than 10 minutes. And now I seem to get it open in about 2-5 seconds every time. It's got 4 pins and apparantly I only have to pick the 4th and 3rd pins and the lock just swings open. What's going on? This can't be normal, can it?
I'm using the Southord C500 basic set and have managed to pop open 4 locks so far. 2 have been fairly easy and straight forward, but I'm a bit inconsistent with one 5 pin lock. Is there any way to tell if it has got spools or other security measures installed?
