Yale Single Picking

Postby Capsos » 21 Sep 2015 5:39

Hi everyone, Ive picked this Yale lock up and am able to get most pins set except Pin 5. Well i checked the key and it seems that there is a section of high pin then a very low pin. But also with this keyway im having problems reaching..... Any advice or tips would be great.

Reason: [IMG] tags only work if the URL has a .jpg .gif .bmp .png at the end of it. the way instagram and photobucket do it it takes you to an html page insteadl, so use [URL] tags for those.

I can't see the picture... anyway, with a low pin behind a tall one, I suggest TOK tension and an half diamond or a hook with a thin shaft. TOK means Top of keyway, in case you're wondering. It leaves more room to move the pick.

Good luck :)

I removed the [IMG] tags, but the instagram photo doesnt seem to exist anyway. please upload again to imgur or tinypic or try your instagram again.
