Making bumpkey

[Coronet]

Hi I am a guy from Norway and I am new to this great forum.
I started practice lockpicking 2 months ago on cheap padlocks.
They are now easy to rake up so I need to learn more about houselocks.
Its difficult to pick Norwegian pin tumbler lock because of narrow keyways and many security pins so my first question goes
here: How high must the teeth be and in wath angle on a bump key?
Must all the cut be 9 even if that particulary lock recuires a deepest cut of 6? Hope somebody can help without saying that I must search for it because I have read many post about bumpkeys but it isent clear for me yet.

All cuts should be as deep as possible. ie. @ 9.

It doesn't matter if the deepest cut for that lock is 6. Cuting all cuts at 9 means it will work on all locks whereas if you made all the cuts @ 6 it would only work on locks cut 6 and below.

As for picking local locks, Get your self some slimline picks and strip the lock down, replacing pins and removing them as you see fit.

All the best

OK, Thanks.
Wonder also who deep a 9 cut should be on a Norwegian 6 pin
Trioving lock. Anybody in here who knows that?

.165 inch is the root depth I have for Trio-Ving.

Hope that helps.
