Anyone know how they can help me pick this?

Thanks in advance

Security pins without doubt.

Zone make decent stuff, and this includes a nice paracentric Euro cylinder, that is tough to pick:



Avoid security pins, since negative plug rotation didn't quite work on my one.

Thanks illusion,


Since i cant flase set then i'll need to use light tension so it wont false set yes?

I'll tell ya all when iv'e picked it.


Is a Zone harder than a locks below?

Looks like an imitation of some sort.

i have the ABUS 82/90 monoblock

took me awhile, but i got it
don't know anything about " Zone " brand
but i've always liked monoblocks

[Jason13]

Sometimes i can be using hard tension and it can sometimes weaking the pick.

If i use the most light tension and when i pick it and let of tension and hear it click should that be enough tension to pick it?

When i pick it im starting to feel the tension wrench bounce im guessung this is the Spools

[Shrub]

It should be easy enough, im not sure how many spools the 5 pins have though but i think no more than 3.

It's always a pain when the last pin is burried behind pins that are sitting at the sheerline, like your 3 & 4. It is very easy to nudge one of those up at the beginning and kill your chances. I would go with heavier tension to avoid that, try to pick the 5 pin first, then just play the spool game with 1 and 2 till you get it. Easier said than done though.....

good luck

i had something like that a while ago i found it had 1 spool pin in it which natrually binded last and it took me a while to get it because it was my first security pin..... there easy to pick once yu get the hang of them.....

[Jason13]

I hope i can pick this lock and also the R70 but theese are the only locks im picking to try get some success

It's good to see you're trying Jason.

I find just putting some time by where I can clear my head helps a lot. If I have a nagging feeling in the back of my head, telling me I should do something more important, then I do that, and then continue picking after. When I can focuss all your attention upon a lock then I find I have more success.

Just sit down and pick the lock for say 30 mins, and if you start getting annoyed, then sit bck and smile. Most people don't smile enough, and go their entire lives with some kind of CIA agent poker-face. Make yourself smile, and find something to be happy about. Once you're calm and happy again, then start picking. I find being calm is usefull when trying a new lock that is hard.

I can't guarantee this will work, or if you'll even try it, but I thought I'd throw in some advice.
