Hello All lockpicks I've seen are flat, I mean they lie on a plane. Where could I get I twisted one like showed in the picture? (or similar) Do you know of any brand that makes them?  regards

No sé dónde comprar un solo. Lo que marca es la cerradura de la puerta? tienes un photo?

Hello
I've just posted that picture as an example, but I could find my pick useful for many things.
I've googled "dimple pick" as you said, and that's what I need, but I don't know where to get just one piece instead of the full set.

For the lock you showed us in your photo with A, B, and C, you DO NOT need a dimple pick. Help us help you. What country are you located in? There are online shops in US, UK, and Germany, and I think you're in Spain. Are you just trying to pick one lock, or learning lock picking as a hobby? why only get one piece, when you can own a pick set =) Squelchtone

Hello
I'm In Spain but I don't mind to buy online at other countries, in fact I'ev already got a basic set from the USA, the Southord euroslimline. But I'm missing that pick.
I like tools, is my hobby, maybe I'll just use that pick once to play by I like to collect tools, just in case, and to show them.

Well, where did you find the photo of "that pick" ? I do not know anywhere to buy that pick just as a single piece.

Like squelchtone said, you don't need a curved pick to get around tight warding. That would actually make things more difficult for you because you'd be unable to lever the pick properly... what you really need is thinner picks, and practice. You have the slimline southord set so you're half way there... I'd suggest using the offset diamond pick (AKA DeForest) or the short hook, depending on the bitting you're dealing with. If you're seriously struggling with that lock, try something with an easier keyway to start off with. It takes a while to get the feel for getting around the wards, but it comes naturally once you start to develop the feel for the pins. Do you know what type of lock you're dealing with? Since you're in spain my first guess would be iseo, cisa, viro, or maybe AGB. The first lock I ever picked was an iseo (universal 1A profile), at the time I couldn't fathom how to get around the warding... in retrospect, I was overthinking things and it's actually a very simple keyway to get around. Same goes for the others I mentioned but I'll keep my trap shut until we find out which lock you actually have lol. But still, over time it'll just come to you. Your keyway probably isn't as difficult as you think.

Hi The lock is really old and I can't read any brand name on it, maybe I need to dissassemble it, but my father won't be happy  You say I don't need that picks... So, What are dimple picks for? regards

Dimple picks are for, well... dimple locks  It's the same mechanism, just in a different format. Google pictures of dimple locks and you'll see what I mean. As for the lock you have, maybe you could take a picture of it for us? The keyway can't be that bad, I've picked some really tight and nasty keyways with my slimlines. If it's in any way similar to the standard yale profile, you'll be perfectly fine. Just takes practice.
