i can gt all the pin down, but i cant turn the tension wrench, im using a uniball pen tension wrench and a bobby pin pick, is there anything u could help me with.

This type of lock tends to be quite stiff torque-wise. If the lock has been outside for a while you might find that some lubricant helps. Even so it requires a fair bit of tension to keep the pins down, and even more to actually turn the lock - I've picked this lock and not realised it because I wasn't using enough pressure to turn the shackle. The other problem I had with this one is keeping it form slipping round as I was picking it! Good luck :-)

yo whats the deal with these locks? i can handle most, but i cant get these. do you need to single pick them? do you need to start from the back? do you need lots of tension? whats up?

I have managed to rake this lock, but it's faster to work on it pin by pin as the pins are fairly stiff. On this particular lock, starting from the back seems to work pretty well.

does jiggling the pins work on these types of locks?
