ILCO CYLINDER LOCK

[Sugar]

I'm having a problem with this one. Bought it new, a 5-pin. I managed to pick it a couple of times,
but I feel that it happened mostly on accident. It doesn't have any security pins, nothing unusual,
I can't feel it though. The springs seem to be very strong and there's not much slack in either direction.
I suppose it's just me, and I should probably just remove some pins and practice, but I'll appreciate any advice.

not having much slack usually is a sign of high tolerences. the higher the tolerences usually means lest feedback. try starting with 2 pins, then 3, ect. you'll get the feel for it. just take your time to get to know the lock and the next time you encounter one you'll know how to defeat it.
