Shalge that half turns

Postby hecklerSL81 » 26 Apr 2007 16:02

Ok there is this shlage that when i pick it counter clock wise the way i should to open it, it only half turns. It is completly picked but it only turns like 20 degrees to the left. i have tried a plug spinner but since there is only a little amount turned it doesnt work and it resets all over again.. any ideas on how to get around this.?

practice and method.

when it does that 20 degrees thing, slightly loosen up the tension, turn it back 10 degrees till it almost clicks back to 0 and push up the pin giving you the most resistance, and apply some more tension as you push up that pin.

can you post a pick of the lock, maybe we can give you better advice based on a photo.

thanks and good luck

under light tension spool pins will rock the keyway back towards 0 with pressure on the spool pin, best way I know to find it
