Yes there is. Picking the lock to the unlock position the first time will eliminate multiple pickings. :)

That said, doing some reading on these forums and letting us know what type of lock and where its at on the door will help us give you more precise answers. :)

Hope that helps.

Varjeal has your answer for you, as always,.... pick it right and who needs a spinner. But, with that being said, you can make your own plug spinner, thats fairly decent. Take a tension wrench, and attatch a rubberband to the end of the long arm. Either drill a hole or use some tape or whatever. Now pick the lock, backwards of course. Insert this tension wrench, and then HOLD the wrench in one hand..... and pull the rubber band down, or up, depending on the way you want the lock to spin. If you use enough tension on the rubber band, and can let go of the wrench neatly, you will find the plug on the right side. This isnt exactly foolproof, but hey it helps.
