Step-by-Step Lish Picking Guide
1. Apply Light Tension
Begin by applying light tension to the lock using your tension wrench. This is crucial because too much tension can cause the pins to bind, making the lock more difficult to pick.
2. Probe Each Pin
Start probing each pin in the lock. Here’s a breakdown:
Pin 1: Tap the pin gently. If it bounces or springs, it means it’s not the binding pin, and you should move on.
Pin 2: Repeat the process. If it’s also springy, skip it.
Pin 3: If the pin is stuck and does not spring, this indicates it’s the binding pin. Gently apply pressure until it sets and begins to spring.
Pin 4: If it’s sticking, it needs to be picked. Continue to probe until it’s set and springing.
Pin 5: Follow the same steps as above if it’s the binding pin.
3. Cycle Through the Pins
After addressing all five pins, cycle back through them to ensure they’re all properly set. Here’s the sequence you might follow after initial picking:
Pin 1: Check for springing.
Pin 2: Check for springing.
Pin 3: Check for springing.
Pin 4: Check for springing.
Pin 5: Check for springing.
4. Final Adjustment
After ensuring each pin is properly picked, continue to apply steady tension until the lock turns open.
