Your second post didn't go that right either :D

Best place to learn the movement you need - and really understand how your lock works - is DB's excellent guide HERE

Yes, read the guide posted.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

Click my www button before reading the single pin picking exorcise, you need to know why a lock can be picked before you start playing and my guide should do that,
