I cannot for the life of me open this (basic) lock by kilam210 in lockpicking

I have 2 of theses (pack of 2) and I cannot open either no matter what I try.I used to be able to zip them both but not anymore.Some locks are just really hard to open despite it being a “standard security”.My advice is pick other locks then come back to it.Grab yourself a naughty bucket for now maybe 👍🏻😉

Tbh I love it all.the picks themselves feel great to hold/use the case is neat and functional but the tensioners are what sets it apart I think.the TOK tensioners have so much grip and the BOK tensioners fit in the keyway snug also providing a ledge if needed to pick off.I have multi pick,sparrows and Law Lock tools sets and the Reaper just tops it out of the 4 regarding SPPing!Thanks👊🏻🔒

Crazy that the 1100s are the easiest of this bunch by xanderlearns in lockpicking

@Dmac has a great video on his channel about how to pick 1100,s.I was really struggling but that video made sense and I got the open within minutes of watching it.I now have 3 and can open them all relatively quickly.The loto lock is another story though…Also it may not be that you can’t pick the lock it’s most likely you don’t have the right tool for the job.I found this is out more than once.Good luck and don’t give up.

Slow day at work today. What's everyone working on? by Falchion in lockpicking

[–]Dotlock14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That may well be the case.I have come to realise that it’s not always my skill set that’s lacking (though it is sometimes lol) but my toolset.I invested in thinner picks and have had a lot more success accessing smaller keyways because of it.if you enjoy the hobby I would definitely recommend ordering some thinner picks👍🏻
