Masterlock #3 question from nubee

Postby graggy » 29 May 2024 11:36

I’m just starting to pick some masterlocks. I can pick some and others I can’t seem to get open. Are some #3 locks harder to pick than others? I’m not sure if people are still reading the questions on here or not. I have asked on here before and never had any responses

Manufacturing tolerances, depth of key pins, and binding order will vary between locks, so some may be trivial to lockpick while others may require some fitnesse.
