Hey, i am pretty new to this so this is probably a stupid question. I've been able to pick a couple packlocks with a normal straight key intry hole, but can figure out this master lock with a zig-zag key hole. Where are the pins at? Do i need to just keep feeling around? By the way the key can open the lock by turning either direction.

the lock is a master 22?

ok you seem to have not read the MIT guide which can be found on this site or you can go to www.crypto.com which has some excellent notes on picking pin tumbler locks. hope thi :wink:

s helps you

by the way your master can only open in 1 direction which is usually clockwise but it depends on the make of lock

by the way if im correct No.22 master lock is a warded lock not a pintumbler. search lp101 and theres a lot on warded locks.

ive just posted here as this person is asking the same question viewtopic.php?p=13242#13242

also the no.22 warded lock opens with the key turning either way

By the sounds of things Dosk is right. Get/make yourself a set of warded picks and it'll open in a snap.

The Master 21 however, is a rekeyable laminated padlock. This lock can only be opened by turning to the right, due to its design. This is the lock I beleive skold is referring to.
