Tention Trouble with a few Master's

I acquired a few master locks recently, both in good shape, but I can't seem to get any good tension on either. To give a little background to my skill level and tools, I have been practicing for 3 or so months now, I'm able to SPP almost every 4 pin tumble I run in to, and have been working on some Master 140's and gotten past these spool pins in those. I have a small Peterson pick set (Gov steel/plastic handles) and I have a Sparrows set as well.

The first is a Master M1. I don't have a key for it, and it seems in decent condition. I was able to open it once, but I didn't feel much as far as pins actually setting, besides the first pin. My big problem seems to be I feel I need to apply an excessive amount of tension to feel anything set inside the lock. I've used both bottom and top of the keyway tension. Everything I have found suggests this is a lock I should be able to get into no problem.

The second lock is a Master M532 "changeable Keyway" or whatever. It's a wafer lock, and like the M1 I can't seem to get anything to set. Tried both top and bottom tension as well.

Any suggestions guys?

--Thanks

Re: Tention Trouble with a few Master's

The M532 has a sidebar and is not a typical lock dur to the "smartkey" technology. Not even sure it's pickable.

I'm sure the Maestro's will be along shortly to give you some better insight.

Man good luck with the M532. I have the same one and gave up on it for a while.
