How long does it take to improve at picking

Hello!

I just wanted to ask how long I will be training with 2, 3 or 4 pin cylinders until I can open a 5 pin-one?

Just to give you an example...I have been picking since around the 10th of December and I am picking 5 pin rim cylinders and I have been for about a week. So, I guess it takes about 2 weeks. Although I think I could have done it sooner if I had a the locks sooner.

Hey dude i member i couldnt even open a 5 pin lock with no spools or any type of special driver pins.

Now i can open a Zone CEN Grade 4

The key is like mountain everest and all driver pins are special 5 spools 1 and bobbin.

And i can pick that now.

Just stick your head down man and you will get somewhere someday. :)
