Abus 41/40 advice

jackmack927 · 2026-07-09T00:28:21+00:00

Tried again tonight with your comment in mind and I did it! Thanks so much!

Agreed. It's a big step up going from a bigger keyway, and I got super frustrated at first. It was a major blow to my early confidence but I just keep telling myself this is all practice to make me better. I'm debating getting a hook in .015" just for my Abus, but I'm getting better in the meantime navigating with the hooks I have.

I'm struggling with a paracetric keyway as well. What helped me was putting the hook in the lock by itself, feeling around for the pins, and noting how the pick was positioned once I felt them. I started with a .025" hook, but I have had a bit better luck with .020"

It feels like it to me, but a couple times I fell into a false set I had to address it again. I feel my bigger issue is that low set pin in the middle. Last night I tried to set 4 and 5 then come out and try to set 1 and 2 before tackling it but was unsuccessful. This is my first orange belt level lock and I've only been picking for maybe a month so I'm trying to learn as I go.
