Schlage C Pick Size
Hello,
I'm pretty new to picking and just had a quick question. I've already picked open the half dozen master locks and Kwiksets that I own, and I'm moving on to something more advanced.
I have ordered and any day now I should have a Sparrows cutaway practice lock and a reload kit for it as well. I also have three Schlage C keyway KIK cylinders that I've been working on.
I just wanted some input from some of you more experienced folks. What size pick do you all use the most for a SC Keyway? Right now I've got a complete Sparrow's set in .025", and I find them just a little tight...
Another quick question, I've noticed a night and day difference between the Kwikset and Schlage cylinders. I could rake the Kwiksets open no problem. The genuine Schlages are a bit more trouble for me. I have them pinned down to three pins at the moment so I can SPP 'em. It certainly seems that a higher quality core makes them a lot more difficult to pick?
