Hi,
I am now becoming better with the practice at picking various locks, however I am baffled with a yale lock?? 
I can pick the lock, but the barrel turns a full 360 degrees and then resets itsself. If I try picking the lock in the same direction again, I cant pick the lock any further.
I can also pick the lock in the opposite direction, again 360 degrees.??
Any ideas.
Thanx

what type of yale lock is it? Is it on a door? It sounds like a deadlock, if it is.

Don't pick locks you rely on... they can and will break and then you'll be <expletive deleted> for a working lock on your house

As UWSDWF just said, Do not pick ANY locks that you or anybody else relies on. This would include your shed lock...do not try and pick it!
