greetings one and all

is it normal for some locks to be able to lock but not unlock (sometimes visa versa) by picking? i have come accross this a few times now and am wondering if it is me or the lock

you have 99 hour days in the uk :shock:

since you knew what HYSF means I'll be nice

some locks are just easier to pick in on direction then the other, you can make or get a plug spinner .... now you have to figure out what that is and how to use it!

ah i can be confused but not that easily, i know about plug spinners but never having had one i cant say that i can use one, just the theory.

thanks for the advise all the same

tis really the time i moved on from the accidental openings of raking and bumping to spp exactness,although in truth i guess i am halfway between the two
