YelseW, you have made posts on other topics in regards to the master pin. Before you learn to bypass locks you must learn their function. A master pin is a third pin within the driver and bottom pin. The change key only opens that lock while the master key will open that lock and others because of that master pins added to the lock. Perhaps consider reading more about master pinning on the forum or in other parts of the internet. This may advance your knowledge on the subject. And my apologise for jumping off topic.

Do you think that using regular raking techniques I could pick my Master Lock combination padlock? It always gets stuck at about 35 degrees and I cannot move it any farther. Any tips? It is a series V55 and has the keyhole in the back.

Try using the picks in the 'keyhole' in the back.

I hate to think what you put them in before that.

If that doesn't work. Buy a new lock.

LOL, no i did not murder my pick to twist into a 35 degrees angle, and I was using the keyhole in the back of the lock. What I meant was, that all the locks I have picked usually turn about 15 degrees per pin. This little lock turns 35 degrees but stops there. All the three pins seem to be set because they fall freely...Can you describe what is happening or how I can solve this? Thank you.

This is a classic case of spool pins so do a search for spool pins and all will be revealed on how to overcome them

I always try to rake a lock before I "feel" a lock. However, raking doesn't give you much of a guarantee as opposed to feeling it. If you go to your local library they may have a book on the different types of pins and how to pick them.

Thanks alot guys, but skold told me that there are defenitely no spools and there are only 3 pins in my lock. So if it is not the spools, then what is it and how do i solve it?

I don't quite understand what you mean.

by **YelseW** » 7 Dec 2004 16:25

What I mean is that Skold told me that there are no spool pins. If it is a simple pin and tumbler lock, how would i solve it.

YelseW, if I wasn't so busy at the moment you'd be crispy by now. Maybe you lock is too old and dirty, try turning with a scredriver when you can't turn anymore with the tension wrench. And learn to behave yourself online.
