help with curved locks

Postby mjsa » 6 Apr 2008 13:39

I use a super jiggler lock pick on my lock pick keychain PRO http://www.idealcreations.net/ls05.htm
but when i try and use a curved lock which is impossible to fit a pick into (live this one of these http://shop.yale.co.uk/acatalog/rim_cylinders.html or one of thesehttp://shop.yale.co.uk/acatalog/Euro_Profile_Double_Cylinder.html
) it only fit in the top (not where the pins are) please help, a video would be nice

Thanks

Practice practice practice. :)

Those are a relatively difficult keyway. If you're having no success with them, you may want to just set them aside for the time being hand hone your Jedi skills, then come back to them once you've sharpened your chops.

I don't think there's much anyone else can tell you other than practice. :)

Happy picking!

I'd say your lucky you can open a can of beans with that pickset :-)
They are the crudest looking picks I've ever seen, except for the ones I made, but thats cos I was drunk :-)
