How to pick this kind of locks?

I've got some experience picking locks with my SerePick Bogota Entry Toolset. Now I wonder how to pick this kind of locks. How they are called by the way?
Looks like they are similar to common pin tumbler locks, just different angle of pins. Am I correct?
The hole is too small to fit lockpick here but looks like I can push pins from the side. Never succeeded picking one of those yet though.

Sounds like you have the idea of how to pick them.

They are called 'dimple' locks. Yes, they work the same way as other pin tumbler locks, except for the pins coming into the side of the key blade. Also, there are fewer depths of cut available.

I use a half diamond to pick them, coming from the side and lightly twisting the pick to push the pins down. Don't use too much tension with the wrench or with the pick, or you may break the pick!

Good luck,

Gordon
