Halp!!! My lock is stuck half way around what is going on

Postby piepie » 9 Apr 2010 19:58

This is seen WAY TOO OFTEN. My lock is stuck after i picked it!, why is my lock upside down after i picked it?
The answer, get a small piece of metal and press on the pins that are protruding from the bottom of the heyhole preventing it from being moved.

sticky!

If you wrote a better explanation and maybe included a diagram, you'd have a chance of making this a sticky. But right now, you just sound a little bit high.

I think the info he provided is just too vital to the locksport community, that to NOT sticky it would just be crazy.
Haha, I'm with ya.
