Just picked my first lock! And now it's jammed! :(

Hi all, totally new to the site, and new to lock picking. I managed to pick a Kwikset deadbolt lock last night after maybe 10 minutes of trying - what a rush when it clicked and turned! Very cool!

But something went wrong...

I think the tumblers got stuck or something. Although it unlocked, I cannot get it to lock again. The key inserts, but won't turn. With my pick, I can't seem to press the tumblers to try to un-jam it. And the handle on the "house side" of the lock won't turn either.

I installed it in a 2x4, so I don't have a door out of commission or anything... I just want to reset the lock so I can try picking it again.

Any ideas? If it's trash, so be it -- I'm only out $3.25.

Thanks!
