If you are using so much tension that you cant move pins it's WAY to much, try lighter tension.

well Davy, looks like a kwikset knock off to me....

The problem you are describing is a lack of expierence and practice....

if you have read db's guide then try his practise suggestion of reducing pins......

:twisted: Rake the hell out of it... it'll open :twisted:

j/k keep playing with it, i'm sure with a little luck you'll pop it and when you do repin it to something easier and follow DB's guide.

Ohhhh... a HORSE lock, eh? This is how you pick these...

First you pick 1 pin and you get an H.
Then you pick 2 pins and you get an HO.
After 3 pins you get an HOR.
.. And so on.

:P

picking problems

Postby jimmysmith » 25 Jan 2007 14:00

practice. practice. practice. ....

maybe your not picking them in the right binding order.

try less tention......

maybe one of those spring tension tools. the one that grabs the top and bottom of the key way, its helps sometimes.

My question is this. If your horse is locked, where do you stick the pick and wrench to unlock it?

I strongly advise you to re-read both guides as they answer most of your questions.
