It sounds like you need to be using Slimline picks... what pics are you using and where did you get them?
Remember that the pick only needs to go in as far as the key does too

do ya have even one pick that will go only as deep as the length from the tip of the key to the shoulder of the key? You may be trying to put it in too deep.
Alternatly, it may be time to start making your own picks.

Ive got a yale that i can hardly get the picks into, even though im using slimlines. Might be worth using a small half dimond and putting it in before the wrench.

That keyway does not look at all horrible mate. Are you Putting the pick in handel first?
That one abus keyway is quite somethin though.
Just go out rip an insert out of a windshield wiper bend 2cm's down and bang, ya got yourself a fancy verticle tensioner

Yep. half of my tension tools are cut down specifically for that. its great until you have a small pin at the front. LockNewbie21 wrote:That keyway does not look at all horrible mate. Are you Putting the pick in handel first?

I also have that lock. It' actually quite a
difficult pick.He could have a problem though as even
with slimlines theres not much room but that
could be due to the fact that I put the rench in the bottom.

OK, I propose a LP101 hall-of-fame-quote thread. That's quote one.

Nothing is so embarrassing as watching someone do something that you said couldn't be done.
