well i have a few locks around that i wasnt able to do for the longest time. but after reading some posts( thanks to all those who contribute) about security pins and going over some basics again. I was able to open this lock.

really the main thing i had to do was focus on what was going on inside the lock and then by working on it pin by pin. see which were wanting to bind and work on those first. it seemed to falseset a few but since this lock has a spring, I just released some of the tension and pressed it up.

I just wanted to say again thanks to all those who contribute to this site. if anyone wants to see which tools i used and the lock let me know and I'll post up some images. ive been wanting to use my camera for lockpicking photos since ive got it.

for those who want to know I have a canon 20d, with a 100mm 1:1 macro lens, 17-85mm IS. (I am a photographer by trade)

Awsome, congratulations. Photography is a hobby for me, landscape stuff mainly. Always wanted an SLR but never really had the funds :( What sorta stuff do you do for work, fanctions and weddings, or selling your pictures in galleries?

Before you pick a lock:
The first thing that you should do is check to make sure that
the lock is your's and secondly make sure its not in use.

well I am a freelance photographer. I shoot everything from events to portraits to commercial work. some of my stuff in on my myspace...

www.myspace.com/dres_images for those who would like to see some of my work.

as for requests I'll get an area clear so i can shoot my lockpicking tools and the lock i picked. :) stay tuned. hopefully the USB still works on this machine, since i dont have my other cpu here.
