reading everything in the FAQ section has helped many newbies become very proficient and knoweledgable pickers.

we can't hold your hand every step of the way... for the most part it's an independent process, takes alot of time and patience.

that being said, good luck, and most importantly, have fun.

i'm guessing it's a camlock, in which case those are usually pretty low security... i recently ordered 4 high security dimple locks to replace all of my cheap locks. (i have one of those sentry fireproof things too).

Be careful about using a pick gun in a wafer lock. There is some, rather small, probability of damaging the lock
