Hi, i would just like to say, Thanks! This sit has ben helpful, i just got my lookpicking set, SouthOrd MPXS-20 at 4:07pm, and i picked a Masterlock No5 at 4:09Pm. Im new to lockpicking and i did not know that i could do it in that short amount of time, its was the greatist high every, and no im not a druggy. It was so amazing that i di i just shouted, i scared my cat! Hehe. SO now I can pick it in 10-15secs using a snake ranke, S rake, or what ever another name is. IM just so excited. Once again Thanks so much for understanding how to pick and how a lock works with the best guides i could find. THANKYOU!

Well done. now see if you can Single Pin Pick it open. lift each pin individually with your hooks and a half diamond. you will need that skill as you move on to harder locks.
