Lock Anchor series 050, Help

[satan2004]

Hey guys! im new to the lockpicking forum and act. i recieved my starter kit today and had prepared by buying 5 locks, i have been able to unlock 4 of my locks but the fifth one im having major problems with its a lock called as the title of the thread says called "Lock Anchor series 050" http://www.anchorlas.se/Broschyrer,%20pdf/050.pdf (the first one on that site)

I have absolutley no frikking idea on how to pick this lock. wat am i droing wrong? have any of you tried to pick this successfully before?

on a side note how good is a "rake" i got 10 items in my starter kit but i did not get a rake for speed picking, i think that would increase my speed picking alot. what you think?

You should tell us what are you doing first, in order to be judge what you may be doing wrong. Also if a lock does not open, it doesn't always mean that you're doing something "wrong", it may just be that its mechanism is still beyond your current skills and hence you can't manipulate it good enough to open it.

Keep in mind that if that lock has a security feature, may it just be a spool pin or two, raking would not work as consistently as on a lock without security pins or at all. If that's the case, you have to single-pin pick the lock with a hook pick.

Please have a look in the FAQs section for some good reads about picking basics just to make sure you've got everything in order to begin with

Cheers

From your reply it looks like you totally ignored my post, but well that's fine.

You can find schematics of pin-tumbler locks and about anything else on here (plus some nice guides, as I already suggested) and on lockwiki too, for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_tumbler_lock or here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9hhBJHfwJE

funny googling "lock picking animation" produces a host of resources for me. likewise, reading the stickied threads here is probably far more information than you want at this point.
