https://vimeo.com/57273650 HEre is the video of lock and my "picking"
You will see there, that tension tool is possible to insert ONLY in front patr of lock(which one was mostly used.)
If you point me some of my mistakes,that would be very nice.
And i already tried different pressure on tension tool.
Thx.
Picking is all about feeling the pins and understanding what's happening with them. It's all done with your sense of touch and hearing. As a result, hold your pick so your finger is resting on the bare metal. This will give you some feedback as you're moving the pick within the lock. You also have important feedback from the tension wrench to tell you about rotational movement of the plug.
From what I can see from the video, it looks like you are hoping for a quicker result through raking the lock. That is, quickly withdrawing the pick from the lock in order to set some (or all) of the key pins at the shear line. Try pulsing the pressure you put on the tension wrench while you do this.
However, I think you really need to work on your technique of single pin picking. This involves putting some rotational pressure on the plug (as you are doing), and through that using the tip of the pick to find which of the pin stacks is not moving as freely as the others. When you find that, slightly depress that stack until you feel some change. This will hopefully mean that this key pin has reached the shear line. Then repeat that process for each of the pin stacks. This needs to be individual attention to each of the stacks. As you successfully move the pins to shear, you will feel more movement in the rotation.
First, move the tip of your pick to the back of the lock (without a tension wrench), hold it against the pins and slowly withdraw it - how many pins do you hear going click? Of course, you can also see how many pins in the lock by looking at the key.
Another tip: buy yourself a cheap desk vice with a vacuum base (usually used for modelling). This gives you a stable platform to set the lock in and give you both hands to move freely. This also relieves pressure on your hands and gives them the ability to work more without getting tired.
As it is, we'd have to get into what is counter-rotation in order to find if any of the pins are security pins, but for now, I'd suggest you work on the above.
I'm sure there will be others who will have some really useful advice for you.
Practice, practice, practice. Don't give up, dude
