Could someone please clarify with regard to these two locks.
One is on metal shutter doors and the other on a wooden external door, the one on the external is a euro 5 pin cylinder, the other one I am not sure (will know in a couple of weeks, foreign country)
Anyhow as far as I remember both locks require a double turn of the key to open, does this mean when picking them to open that they must be picked twice....one for each revolution?

Probably yes, or use a plug spinner

(Never pick locks in use or locks you don't own. I thought I just add. )

Its ok I own the place and I will need to pick them once just for the hell of it, I do have spare locks though as I have changed them a few times iver the years. Mind you that was before I started lockpicking thinking I was being clever and not realising how easy some of them are to pick. That aside the most common method of entry in that country is destructive.....if only they knew

If you don't have a plug spinner you can mcguyver one with a rubber band and tension wrench.

yeah there are a bunch of ways to easily home make a plug spinner
I like the one with little tubes and a disassempled mouse trap. I used that one before I got a nicer one
