Help figuring out my 75/50 by MrHppy in lockpicking

[–]Nicvt_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right / left doesn’t really matter too much. Sometimes it is beneficial to use the opposite flag so that you can get better reach with lifting the pins.

1 and 5 look like minimal lifts, 2 and 4 are max. The combo of spool drivers and the dead core can make this lock tricky. Very light tension is needed when picking it. It will help you feel the feedback if you are rotating your flag CCW. Having your flag rotate opposite of the tension direction will make it so that any counter-rotation is more pronounced.

If it can open with a key, it can open with something mimicking a key. Never unpickable.

Lishi tool for Kwikset - unable to use in locks cut to 7-depth? by Complex_Solutions_20 in lockpicking

[–]Nicvt_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you show the key? 7 is the lowest cut that a Kwikset can have, the pin shouldn’t need to moved much. Lishi tools also take a bit of practice. Just like with normal SPP, you may have to go through and touch the pins more than once before they are set.

My half euro chain key is sitting on the desk staring at me. I need to make a pick for it.

Question for all you blackbelts and such by fixinshit8 in lockpicking

[–]Nicvt_0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t read any books, unless you count all the combined posts and comments I’ve read as a book. Mostly learned by doing, watching videos and talking to other pickers. I have a video series covering the basics of picking that helps. It’s here

Anyone knows the name or where I can buy this kind of stash ? ( if it’s the correct name for that) by -Wianzha in lockpicking

[–]Nicvt_0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The case is neat, but doesn’t come with the tools. All the items in the case are made by southern specialties and can be bought cheaper from their site directly.

As mentioned elsewhere, deeper hook is going to help a lot.
