hi, approximately on how much degrees it opens lock with the KEY ?

What type of Lock is that? any name?

It might have security pin/pins .

Maybe youre turning the plug the wrong way.
DONT pick locks you need they like to break.

hmm dimple lock never had the pleasue of pickigng one. I would say just get one a secure it in a vice, also spray a bit of lube on you door lube to keep it good while you were practicing on it. One spray of silicon lube does miricles.

its probably got some spool pins in there somewhere, my schlage does and i cant get it open

20 degrees would be a long way for the plug to turn on a spool pin. 5 to 10 would be more likely if this were the case. But, if the key functions normally, and you are picking the right direction, this *could* be the case: Perhaps your tension wrench is getting jammed against the inside-bottom of the shell. It's happened to me on occasion and threw me for a loop the first time.

Just a thought.

P.S. Don't pick locks you rely on.

It would be a good idea to not pick that lock as 99% of all dimple locks will puke the pins into the keyway if rotated without a key in the cylinder. I would make sure your key works now
