Advice to unlocking

Postby Rogu3 » 12 Aug 2009 12:13

Hey guys, i looked but im really not sure where it is since this site is so big. i am qucikly buying new locks and picking them and i have stumbled onto a couple that i am having trouble with. This thread is basically for any advice on these locks and personal strategies that would help me or others with the same problems. The surrent locks i am working on are the Master no.5 and the Brinks max security. they look almost the same except the brinks is a bit heavier and has security pins. I have been able to unlock the master a good amount of times but for some reason i cant any longer. I also got the brinks one once but it took forever and was pretty tough. Again any advice would be helpful and if you have questions go ahead and post em' in this thread for help too. Thanks guys/girls.

Sometimes when you open a lock a few times in a row I have noticed that after a while it may not open as easy as before or not at all, this has been discussed here before, your fingers get tired, you lose concentration, when this happens put the picks down and go do something else for a while, then come back. Keep working on your Brinks, they are a tough little lock, they have alot of challenges sometimes, Do you remember what you did when you got it open before? Just keep practicing, you have the picks and you know the basics, just do it, grab the lock with the attitude that you know what is going on, own that lock, just grab it and pick it!
