I've just purchased cylinder locks(oldies).I was having trouble picking two of them.
One i finally did, so i opened it up.Found out it was master keyed.Was wondering if master keyed lock were generally harder?Or is it just me?
While picking i couldn't tell if it was pined normal or not.
The second one,i will have to ask ZEKE what brand it is.Because i've never seen such a funky keyway.I can barely get my pick in there.it's like a Z pattern.i'll try and take a picture!!

master keyed locks in general should be easier to pick as you have more chances to get it right

What kind of locks were they? Yale, Russwin, etc?
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

Making this picture was hilarious, keeping it for future use is above and beyond the call of duty. You truly are an evil genius. My hat is off to you
