It's okay. The keyway might be a pain in the butt but the lock is just a soda can shim or some pruning shears away from removal. lol.

There is no such thing as paranoia; It's called being cautious.

When I come across smaller than I like to mess with keyways, i tend to use a small flathead screwdriver to turn the plug after I pick the lock...works good, sometimes not so good :lol: if you get tied up with the tension wrench still in there they can both pop out pretty easy :cry: also you can start chipping off pieces of brass after awhile if you do it to hard.
