oy! search?

the trick is to hit all the pins at exactly the same time, so make sure the pic is lined up perfectly straight with all the pins before you snap it

Fit about 2 cm or 1 inch of the pick needle into the lock (if its a 5 pin) but make sure the tip isnt making contact with the very rear of the plugs inside so it doesnt catch on anything while pulling the trigger. Dont forget to use light tension.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture
