What kind of homework have you done up till now? Your not picking anything with the tools up you’ve got going on right now. If you want to pick locks you have to read the MIT guide...do a search, it's all right here. Make or buy some decent tools. Then you have to....Practice. Practice. Practice. You'll have soreness in your hands. Calluses on your fingers. Redness in your eyes...and an open lock and a sense of pride the likes of which you haven't felt since you can't remember when. Do the work. The rest, will come with perseverance, practice, knowledge and time .

A pic of a breast-feeding infant, crossed out in red, with the caption below:
"No, this is wrong!!"
is particularly fitting, IMHO.

Ahhh yea that was exactly the way my first lock opened :D

I can't help but feel a lil compassion when ppl post random questions that are really easy to answer with a bit of searching...

If your grinded allen wrench doesn't fit the lock, perhaps it needs a bit more grinding? Either that or you ground it too far and now it's useless. The torsion wrench just turns the lock. How it does it it totally up to you, though the most common way is to insert the wrench at the bottom of the lock (opposite the pins), and the pick is inserted at the top where the pins are (for obvious reasons :P).

This vid is hosted on somebody's FTP here but i can't remember where so i just did a yousendit.com on it. It'll only be here for a week.
