these last 5 days i have try to lockpick my padlock but i didnt delock it ..


today i have read a post about my padlock : http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y291/b ... 51e664.jpg

my question is ... :

-i want to know if the Master lock is the even thing then my Padlock Garrison... because if i want to start i will pay for another padlock without security pins....

- and if Want to open my padlock ... if he can be called a ''Beginner Padlock''

Thx for YOur Answers

First of all, thank you for searching and providing links, you get bonus points. Your English is a bit low, is French your first language? if so fine, I understand you well enough, if not please try to conform to normal standards.


Masterlock should be easier than your lock (no security pins)
Your Garrison, following the thread you posted, probably has security pins (Spools, mushrooms) and is not the best for a beginner.

-good luck, save your Garrison, you'll pick it soon enough, just go for a cheaper lock until you get going, what picks and wrench are you using?

YEs ... My first language is the french and I know that my English was not good but im better good then that in reading of english texts..

My Pick Set is an SOUTHORD(MPXS-14) from lockpicks.com

i have read the MIT guide of lockpicking and a little part of this guide : http://dp.penix.org/locks/cl.html

Yesterday i have started the book called :
Tactics and Techniques for Bypassing Alarms and Defeating Locks

Welcome to the forums Diamond

Fill in your profile, we have many people, much more knowledgeable than me who speak French. We are also used too many different languages, if your profile is filled in, you won't get any crap.

I haven't heard of the book you are reading, but the MIT guide will give you enough information to open your lock. Can you get a deadbolt lock and remove all the pins but one? This will probably help you more that anything

[DiamondDuke]

Good To see that i'm not the only french guy who is interrested by the lockpicking

for your question ... 3 weeks ago i had buyed an deadbolt and i have remove all the pieces but i have lost alot of pins and 2 ressorts

Its because .... after tomorrow i will Try to buy an deadbolt and a Master lock , and i will pratice with they all the time .

My experiences with Garrision is that they are actually not too bad for a novice, though probably a bit much for an absolute beginner. A number of my friends with only moderate picking skills have picked a couple Garrison padlocks that I have. So Diamond, if you're stumped on the Garrision, set it aside. It will not be long before you are picking it.

is there a thred about different lockpicking guides than just the MIT one

[sublime progie]

there are, but in my opinion the MIT is the best one. Check this site, a quick search found it. http://www.lockpicking101.com/viewtopic.php?t=588
