OK Mike, question for you (or anyone else here who has a Wilson Bohannen lock with a key or has picked one)...
Planning on impressioning the three WB locks I have, and have been trying to pick them for a while. Just now, I figured out that I
had been successfully impressioning them, but did not know it. It just felt like I had picked the f###### things for the hundredth time, but the plug would just not turn. Seemed to pick easily, but still that
plug would not turn. Finally, in a little bit of frustration, I applied very
heavy tension after 'picking' it easily... And the damned thing turned. It had been picked. I tried the other two, and same thing... they picked very easily, but the plug felt like it was just a little bit too tight. On
all three of them. it did not take the excessive tension I had intended to apply in frustration, but it took a lot more than I am used to... Sort of like a padlock with a
really strong return spring. Obviously there is no return spring on these locks, just that the plugs feel tight.
So the question -
is that normal? One, I could see, sure thing. Two... A fluke. But all three? (Yes, ARF-GEF, we use the same saying here.).
