Beginner, unable to feel a pin or movement.

I recently picked up an acrylic lock and small set from Covert out of curiosity, after a couple days I'm able to consistently single pin pick and rake the acrylic lock. I decided to try my luck at the Schlage on my door (I'm aware it's not recommended). The problem was, I couldn't feel a single pick and even when moving my pick along the top could not feel any divots or movement. I'm aware this lock is above my current skill set, I'm just curious if I'm missing something or my ability to feel isn't quite there yet.

Use the key for it. If it works with the lock, then reset the cylinder and try using your picks/tension tools again.
