Wish me luck, and give me pointers.

Well, having recieved my brand new lockpick set for dimple locks by Souber tools, i started picking.

I have the following locks:

1: DOM IX europrofile dimple, double sided, one side cutaway

2: LIPS KESO europrofile dimple, single sided, all pins (left, top, right) on the top of the vertically situated keyway.

3: LIPS OCTRO europrofile dimple, single sided, all pins (left, top, right) on the top of the vertically situated keyway. By the looks of the key, using pins within pins.

Now, which one should i start on for practice?
I understand that this might be a bit too difficult for me, but it's all i have, and i've got to start somewhere with picking dimple locks.

So far, i have the most succes with the DOM IX, but still, only setting 3 pins out of 5 within 20 minutes or so (not even mentioning whatever there is left for interactive parts. Looking at the key, i can tell that setting 5 pins won't open it).


Anyway, any help/advise is welcome.


Yours,

Jordy

Personally Ive never used my Souber set on anything other than Mul-T-Locks, but its never let me down (fingers crossed). Saying that ive had a Mul-T-Lock interactive that's been giving me a tough time for about four days now

I found that the instructions that come with the set say it all really On the Mul-T-Locks i have found it beneficial to use the flat end of a tension wrench to overlift all of the pins whilst applying really light tension and this will set a few of the pins. Then continue as per instructions but with a lot more tension for the Mul-T-Locks. As for your cylinders it may be different but this has worked for me.

Be warned you will get the picks stuck at some point

Otherwise good luck
