Forgot how I pinned that...

I repinned my Schlage a couple weeks ago with two spools and and two standard drivers. But I couldn't remember which pins were in where or what the biting (is that bit-ing or bite-ing?) was. I have just started with spools and this lock was extra hard for me to open in the first place.
I couldn't open it at all now and I don't have a key, so I stashed it in the bastard box for several days.
I cleaned up my bogota rake with a dremel and it was working really well, so I got the schlage out, and I took the tailpiece off, intending to disassemble it if I got it open.
Well I put the rake in and out, then thought I had false set so got the medium hook, showed it to the back pin and SCHNAP the lock flew open with the much too great amount of tension I had on the plug and the heavy handed hook action. Several springs and pins flew about the room.
Even though I still can't find two drivers it was a very triumphant moment in my picking history.

Cheers and keep clicking.

LOL!

Yeah... lessons learned for sure. I've done something similar to that before. Stupid mistakes you learn to pay attention to in the future. Good job picking it open!
