Each lock will have quirks of its own. Even if you have two of the same lock, with the same pins and key bitting, they will not pick the same. You can get very familiar with one particular lock, even one that at the beginning took forever to pick, and now it can take a few seconds. Get another of the same lock, and you find that it is hard to pick the new one.

I tell you this so that you don't have to worry. Rest assured, the cursing will return. :mrgreen:

Good luck, and keep picking!
