Tri-circle padlock single pin picking

[jokerville]

Hi
Am trying to single pin this cheap lock using a deeper hook pick. there are 6 pins in it. I've manged so far to set the first three pins ( 1, 2, and 3 ) starting from out to in the lock. I couldn't get any bind-ish feeling on the remaining three pins, they just keep being springy even when I increase the tension on the wrench.
Where could be the problem and how can this lock be picked ?

Notice that the lock is working fine with its key and not damaged.

If I have to make a wild guess, you overset a pin, preventing the others to bind.
If you're stuck, try to feel for the binding pin. After a few minutes release the tension and start over again.

Any reason you are picking 1 2 3 from the outside to the inside?

Try setting pin 6 first, then back out without lifting pin 5, and then try pins 1, 2, 3 or 3, 2, 1 or which ever binding order that lock is telling you.

If this is the first lock you have ever picked, are you by any chance just lifting pins 1, 2, and 3 all the way up as far as they go? That's a common beginner mistake.

Good luck, and I agree with femurat's assertion that you are oversetting a pin.

Or perhaps one of the pins is a spool and not lifted high enough yet. Try going light on tension and use your hook pick to try lifting the set pins a bit more, watching/feeling if the tension wrench tries to push back against your finger. That is what we call "counter-rotation", and is a giveaway for spools.

Oversetting is more likely.
