Help Picking Schlage with Spool Tumblers - (Newbie)
Because of the design of the cylinder ledge, I cannot set 4 and then attack 5 -- when I set 5 pin 4 drops. There is no clearance under the tumblers for my homemade diamond pick to address 5 without messing up 4.
I found a solution by inserting my regular (fat) diamond pick at 45 degrees, raking and by stroke of luck it opens. Sloppy. How can I reach tumbler 5 without disturbing others? There's no room in the Schlage cylinder to set back tumblers without messing up others.
My solution will be to buy slim line picks and work tumblers at a slight angle. What pick works best with this cylinder? Does this make sense?
