get a replacement cylinder from mitre10 or bunnings that's not a lockwood or a lane, the chances are that it will be easy to pick. (havn't had personal experience with lane, but they're the formost two brands in Oz.
I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT!
I had a lockwood door lock (5 pin) at my house ( my dad said i could have it!) i took off the horse shoe on the back and changed the pins to two, i picked that easy (did it 20 times), then three pins, picked that easy aswell (20 times). Then i looked over at my lockwood padlock (4 pins) (the little bugger i've been rambling on about fo the past 2 weeks) thought i might have another go at it. Picked it up and started picking within minutes it it gave a loud "click" and the shackle sprang open. and ive done it about 20 times. it was the biggest buzz in weeks
Thankyou to all who helped me get this far!
im so happy i just cant stop smilin'
The best lock pick is C4 followed by a sledge Hammer
