Congrats on getting the picks! I'm sure they'll bring you lots of good fun and challenges.

Start by reading the MIT Guide. If you've read it already, you're on a good start, but read it again! http://www.gregmiller.net/locks/mitguide/ There are some great excercises to help get you started.

Picks are a matter of preference. generallly you're going to use a snake to rake a lock, and a hook or half diamond to pick pin by pin. Use whichever you like best; personally, I'm partial to a combination of the short and long hooks. Practice, practice, practice and you;ll start to get a feel for it.

Question - Did you ever read the WHOLE MIT guide? Because there's a section in the index that has pictures of the most common types of picks and they're names. Also, interspersed throughout the guide is when you would want to use what pick...

You might want to read it again.

I need some help Identifying the picks though.
Not only that, I thought It would be good for all Newbie's to be able to tell whats what.
So I'll post some pictures and maybe a MOD can clean it up later after someone Can Identify , name each pick I numbered them already..
Thanks In Advance All.

[Pheniox]

search the forums, all picks are posted and labeled somewhere.

[007]

Ok Pheoniox perhapes you are missing the point .
If there is a sticky with a 32 peice lock pick set identifying all the picks then There wouldn't be no new threads about what pick is what just telling the person look up 007's sticky thread there are a variety of picks named and identified their.


Yes I did search a while too but thought this would be a good Idea and 0once done a moderator can clean it up

[Pheniox]

people will never search the site, therefore, that type of sticky is quite pointless. I understood what you said though.

[007]

Ok here's the first Picture there are 6 or 7 pictures.
