Too little Pressure = 0

- From Lockpicking for the new Millenium

And that is why Lockpicking for the New Millenium is a good video. Also the reason you are able to open a lock in 30 seconds, and then it takes a lot longer to do it again is probably the result of getting a pin stuck above the shear line, security pins, ect. Sometimes you hit all the pins just right and sometimes you don't and need to reset the lock and start over. Oh and fyi, 1 oz is the pressure needed to push a keyboard button down (just a little hint if you need it).
