How to open a Master Lock no. 3

[Erickk]

Hi! I'm new to this site, and new to lock picking

I have two Master locks no. 3, one master lock commercial, and one craftsman lock (the small yellow one).
I use a strong paperclip for tension, and a bobby pin as my pick.

Anyway, I managed to get one of the Master Lock no. 3 to open up about twice (raking), but only out of luck.. When I try to open this lock It usually has one pin left and its always up and never wants to go down. My Master Lock Commercial has all its pins down, but doesn't rotate, and same with my craftsman.

Can someone explain to me a way of how to set each individual pin one at a time? It would mean a lot <3 Thanks!
