Dificult Mailbox

Why mailboxes are so difficult to pick?
Managed to pick it 2 or 3 times during 2h but could not master it.

It looks pretty cheap, 5 pins, but so hard to pick.
Is it possible is has security pins?

Here is a photo of the key

Because you're not supposed to pick them.

They aren't. Judging by that key it's a crappy single sided wafer mechanism. It's a 5 second pick for even a complete beginner...

... or not. Maybe you just don't have a clue what you're doing. I'd say that's for the best

It's not wafer. It's 5 pin.


Yes I'm a beginner but I can open multiple padlock and euro cilinders without difficulty...

What these people are trying to tell you is one of the cardinal rules of this place.

Dont pick a lock that is in use.

If its not in use then we would give you more help, but for all we know you could be trying to steal from someone. However, if the mailbox is just on your desk, like the handcuffs i have on my desk here, then by all means, send us a picture of the box and the lock and we can help you out.

That's some pretty sound logic. I mean, you really can't argue with that.
