The search button wants to be your friend. It is getting really lonely. Would you be its friend?

I wouldn't try comb picking it until you can pick it the usual way and are getting bored with it. You don't want to mess the springs up too much. You can comb pick them one pin at a time.

Jimmy, thats quite different to the 140. although you comment on not feeling the false sets like you do on some locks. the spools on the 140 (and so probably the same on that lock) are very sallow, so with the right tension you dont really feel them as much.

Comb picking is for advanced forums only.
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!!
