This is a proper tensioner. Since you don't have a tubular pick, then
zikmik's link won't be much help. Once you have the proper tensioner, apply tension and use whatever pick you want to press the pins to the shearline, but since this isn't a regular lock once you set the pins the lock will spin one pin position and you will have to set the pins again. Repeat for as many pins as are in the lock and it should open. Like so many lockpicking skills this can take awhile to learn, and a bit of practice to be successful. Good luck with it.

There are many threads covering picking technique in these forums. Use the search function.

51 topics... I think you know which way is faster. As to which way is better it's just like any other lock. Gotta go with what works. Did you ever make that standard pick set? Well, anyway good luck with making the pick, and it's cool that you went through the old threads reading posts. Let us know how the picks turn out. Peace.

No reason to be sorry. You should have pm'ed me back about that green set, or had me make you a different one. What picks did you finally decide on from SO?

Do you mean you broke the pick you made or the tensioner?
