Could everyone post what types of locks you have opened with the Bogatas ?

I have opened, Weiser, Weslock, Schlage, Yale, Kwikset, Corbin, Amdhal, MCS, Baldwin, Master, and countless others.
All of these have been opened with the Bogota picks I received from Raimundo. They are quite simply an amazing set of picks. The design is simple, yet elegent and the workmanship is exquisite.
I recomend them highly to anyone.

Romstar did you use the too much coffee shake ? I have opened lots of Kwiksets but still cannot open the Schlage on my patio door.

To be honest, I have used the standard raking technique, as well as the "too much coffee" routine.
Playing with the tenion wrench will also help you with these picks.

while bogotas are pretty much exclusively rakes, for anyone new or newish, i would suggest learning to single pin pick before getting too used to raking anything (either with a bogota or any other rake)
if you dont learn to spp, then you will only ever rake, and some locks succumb to spp far faster than any rake.
dont get me wrong, raking is fun, but it is primarily for speed and/or showing off. but it is important to learn the basics as well.
just my thoughts on the matter.

I agree with you I don't single pin practice enough. I started that many years ago but almost always fall back on raking.

Assa V-10
But only with a particular pinning, and only with this one pick - which I haven't been able to duplicate exactly after it broke. And of course it doesn't do anything about the sidebar. Still, under perfect conditions...
I also tried making a Bogata for the sidebar pins, but I gave up on it because there's no room underneath them, so any rake has to come in from the side, which is kind of awkward.
