wafer locks?

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

Wafer locks tend to be alot easier to pick than pin tumblers,because of the bigger tollerances wafer locks have

untill today I had only picked 1 wafer lock, and that was a bike lock that a customer wanted open, I used a half dimond pick for that one so had her watching me the whole time, so I was glad when it poped pretty quickly... (been within 5 min lol)

Today I picked another wafter lock using a double ball pick, and it poped within 5 sec, after practicing with it for about 5 min I had it down pact to almost picking it quicker than inserting a key. And then went on to pick the same type of lock in 2 sec on first go.
