A master lock is giving me trouble!!!
Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2015 6:53 pm
I never thought i would say this, but i can not seem to pick this 5 pin commercial grade master lock! i can open my standard master lock just by jiggling the around in it. I have tried picking this commercial one numerous times only to fail every time, i dont believe there are any security pins in it, i think my problem might be that my tension wrench binds up with the base of the keyhole, and also it seems that the first pin has a very low set point and i cannot seem to get the pick to the back without over setting this first pin, i know for a fact that the tension wrench is causing the problem, it has caused the same problem on a few other locks, unfortunetly it is the widest tension tool in the kit i bought, will a wider tension tool solve this problem? and what tips do you have on getting past that first pin with the low set point? it seems like a smaller short hook should work, can anyone else offer any input on these issues?
