Picking a BKS Lock

[Sebastian]

Hi people!!!

I´ve got a problem. I got my MPXS-32 Pickset today and have got a BKS 5 pin training lock. But i´m not able to open it. I would be very happy if i get some advices. I have read the MIT Guide several times and also some other manuals. My greatest problem is, that i can´t reach the last pin very good. Maybe (or sure) it lacks on my practice...

Please help me a bit...

I put some pictures here shortly...

Here are the promised pictures. The pins of the lock are visible...




The spool pins are not inside in my lock (i bought the beginners edition )

I can´t find the pin, which binds most. Which picks should i take for this type of lock. Please help me. Thanks!!!

Hi Sebastian,

I also trained a lot at beginning with this 5 pins BKS lock, and I also use a SouthOrd set.

In fact, I only use a lever tensor, and a diamond pick (the large one) to open this kind of lock.
