Master locks are picked the same way any other locks are picked. Use whatever technique suits you. Often the cheaper master locks rake open pretty easy. They can sometimes be a bit more challenging to single pin pick because the pins and keyway are smaller.

Hope this helps. Happy picking!

[do u think it would be mushroom drivers?[/quote]

I thought the same thing about the cheap M.L laminates when I started picking
The problem I had was over setting the pins. Use a light tension and a half diamond (usually best choice) or a hook. It is also important to make sure that you have a tensioner that will fit properly.
