off-plane twisted pick

[Darkness1569]

I know this is a little late but, I took a Southord slim line short hook and bent the hook to offset to the side. It works pretty good on the tight twisted wards in my locks.

Some day I'll do the same, but now I don't have a spare pick.

Wouldn't you think a pick like the one shown would be
good for half moon high security Abloy?

You drew that picture???
OK what program did you use.
Cause it is picture perfect!

90% of all door locks in Namibia have that lock with that keyway. I think I can pick it with the deforest diamond but no company over no company overseas selling them are shipping to Namibia. Is there anyone in the forum that can send me that pick and the bottom of keyesy wrench? Just put in an envelope and mail to Mr even if it takes a month to come. I can pay via paypal

Are you a hobby lock picker or a locksmith or are you trying to pick a door that is locked and you don't have the key to? you just need a hook pick and a tension wrench to pick that lock, you can make a wrench from a windscreen wiper stainless steel insert.

Can you buy one of these locks to practice on? If you can, buy the lock, take it apart and learn all the parts, remove all the pins and springs, and only put in 1 pin stack, then 2 pins, then 3 pins, then 4 pins, and finally all 5 key pins.

that paracentric keyway can be tricky, but with enough practice it is not impossible. Please remember there are many similar keyways, do you have a photo of your *actual* keyway that you are picking? I saw your other post with the other photo, but I am not sure if you just found that photo or if it is the actual keyway in your country.

This the union lock. And I can pick lock already. My bogoto titanium pick bends when I pick this lock. The big pins are very hard .

I don't want to make tools . can anyone help me by sending it I can pay via PayPal.

Sorry for the double post but this is how the lock looks like. I made a tension wrench from a wiper blade.

Now I only need the slimline reach half diamond from here:



buy for me and send, I will money with paypal

Probably better to just make your own picks as you go. I don't think anyone will buy you picks. Maybe trade if you have some locks people would be interested in though.

If the pins won't move, and you are bending picks, you need to use less tension.

Could also be that you're trying to pick the warding. It's easy to do with those keyways.
