Kodak, you're right about the opening.

I managed to successfully pick it this evening, after a couple days of trying. Light tension was key. I think it has one spool pin which I was able to set, once I lightened up on the tension and payed attention to the wrench, sensing it move as I hit the end of the spool.

Hahaha! This was the first lock I ever picked :P! But yeah, it's still a toughy, even though I have the hang of it. Took me 1/2 an hour the first time, five minutes the second time, less than a minute the third time (Then for some reason it stopped working, the key couldn't even turn it :} ) And then I was fiddling around with it and it popped open in 2 minutes of messing. Meh, dont let phrases like "Pick Resistant" Intimidate you, I find that this term is thrown around =)

Ha, Ha.

Got mine in 29 sec. first try.

After that it yielded when I looked at it.
