i dont know about you guys but i make all my own tools, commercial picks tear up locks, and even if sanded down, they still suck, i dont use hacksaw blades either, i use jigsaw and thin thin out with my grinder. i always wanted commercial picks because they look cool, but after i bought themi rarely used them, in fact they were only for show. making your own tools is always better if you know what you are making. but i have yet to try piano wire. i am going to try that as soon as i see the chance,  a man is the wiser the less he speaks, and a profession can only be excelled as much as the person finds interest to excell in it, thus you learn faster when you teach yourself then if you are taught -nameless1-

Another little question... This lock can be bumped??
I try to make a depth key from the original... All cuts in the deepest position but nothing happens...
For 20 pix... my pretty DB sign removed... SIGH!

Is the spacing correct?

if you are really patient there is a slim chance you could rebuild it with epoxy steel
should you attempt this please post pics
