Backdoor

Hi,

So I just almost picked my backdoor but there's only 1 problem. When I have all the pins down in position i can twist the lock only a little bit, I can't totally turn the lock so my door opens. Does anyone know why I can't ? ..

Thanxx

Sounds like security pins. Do a search for them ie security pins, spool pins, mushroom pins, serrated pins, etc.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

You should not pick any locks that are in use as they may break

Buy a door lock you can pick. After a while Pad Locks are not as Fun.
