my friend had a lock from a gas station and i tried to pick it, then i realised there were no pins in it! so i got it open, and used a paperclip to knock the pins back like a normal lock. they came back, and i didnt even have to push them in. i just used a tension wrench to do it. then three of my friends tried it, and it opened for them,too. those locks suck. never get them, unless you need something to burn, or need something to open really easily. my friend got it open with his fingernail lol

I have never had that happen to me. I occationally get locks from gas, storage, moving . . . places and have yet to find one like that. Perhaps it's just THAT gas station.

So which pins did you knock back, those which were not in the lock, or those which came back?

they were stuck, then I pushed them with a paperclip and they sprung back. I made sure all 5 sprung back, then grabbed my tension wrench, then twisted, and it opened

So there were pins in that lock, but the key is cut to "99999"? "The techs discovered that German locks were particularly difficult" - Robert Wallace, H. Keith Melton w. Henry R.
