Warded Locks?

Postby 0rb » 15 Aug 2005 12:36

I understand they use a latch and spring to open, and that only one notch is important, but I am wondering, how does it open (I can't grasp the concept), I mean, does the pick push the latch out of the way, allowing you to open it? Sorry if this is a ridiculous question (and it must be to most) But I couldn't find any info on the forums.

Thanks,

You mean "simple" warded padlocks, though, don't you?
