This lock was sent to me as a challenge to see if I could pick it. It wasn't easy, but I got it.

jruther2 wrote:What I'm thinking is that maybe in the process of rotating, the pin gets lifted past the point of the sidebar groove thus causing confusion. Of course that theory should only apply when trying to set a pin rotationally before the driver has been set to shear otherwise you would be over-setting the stack...just a thought.
