Pins getting stuck

[Veradust]

Hey, guys. Let me start off by saying that I'm fairly new here to lockpicking101, having being a lurker for about a month now. I've searched the forum and haven't found anything on this topic, but it may have just been poor searching on my end. So here's my question:

I've got a few deadbolt locks, two being of schlage brand and one being brinks. Now, when I'm picking them, I use the half diamond so I can find which keys are binding easier than the feeler. I can find them alright, but the pins seem to jam in the lock after I start setting a few. It's like, when I put enough pressure to actually move the pin, it shoots upwards and gets stuck in the overset position. I'm not sure if it's the tension or not, because I can hear the other pins reset when I lower the tension enough to start moving the next binding one. I've taken the lock apart, and so I'm sure that there are no special pins (spool, serrated, etc). Any thoughts/suggestions? Thank you

Try lighter tension. Use as much tension as you would on pushing a key on your PC keyboard.

Also, take your time pushing the key pins up. Picking takes minutes when your barely starting on standard pins.

Alright, I'll try that. Thank you!

Veradust, How did it go?

If it is Schlage or Brinks then there is a great possibility of security pins. If you followed the instructions above (use lighter tension), and that didn't work, then maybe you are dealing with security pins.
