pray, or hit the bottle
EVVA are really nasty keyways, the hpc stainless picks may get in there

EVVA have a number of differing keyways, some i have picked most i have not, cylinders are not my thing, but im sure either chris b or certainly al can point you to the best tool and method for the job.

i got given a couple of evva euros and spent months trying to pick them, i did get them and once id found the pin sequence they were easyand could open them in seconds but then again i wouldn't have that luxury on a door.
the keyways are tight but i found a slimline southourd half diamond spot on.
lock picking! i luv it

well thats way over my head, never seen/used a set of falle safe picks either, but would a set of SO slim line picks be any thinner and therefore easier to pick it with, or are they about the same or worse than the falle safe's? i've heard raimundos picks are very thin and strong, could be an option, but he lives in canada so...

I can't stand by and watch a guy suffer, so I'll be kind and trade you a set of slimeline SouthOrd picks for your useless Falle-safe picks....

anyone with 1/2 a brain cell would look up the cost of an SO slimline set before they took up the trade anyway! but i'd go through with it for the falle-safe set, but i'd have to give him money too, lol.
the question is, how harsh are you db?

No, I most certainly would not take him up on it. I would hope that anybody who's read my posts recognizes that I have a bit more in the ethics department than that!  I was just kiddin' guys! Come on! Give half a man a chance!

Thanks for the suggestions - will try to track down the picks mentioned, if I can get in the keyway I know I have a good chance of defeating the lock.

if he offered, i'd take him up on it. so i wouldn't feel to bad i'd send him a few slimline sets along with a bunch of other stuff too though

You can just skinny down regular picks with a fine file or wet'n'dry.
