You are probably frustrated and applying to much tension. Experiment with the tension and you picking method. Once you get it you will know how you did it right? :wink:

So you picked earlier already and now you cannot repeat it anymore?

Try to remember which picks and method you used in the period when you picked this lock before and try to repeat that.

If you have the key for that lock, try if it still works, maybe you broke the lock or something got stuck.

This is a normal thing wth everyone. We all have locks we could easily pick but cannot anymore. It seems to especially happen with master padlocks. Don't worry about it. Get yourself a deadbolt that you can repin and work with that for awile.
