discusses
a
large
n
um
ber
of
common
traits
and
w
a
ys
to
exploit
or
ov
ercome
them.
People
underestimate
the
analytic
skills
inv
olv
ed
in
lo
c
k
picking.
They
think
that
the
picking
to
ol
op
ens
the
lo ck.
T
o
them
the
torque
wrenc
h
is
a
passiv
e
to ol
that
just
puts
the
lo ck
under
the
desired
stress.
Let
me
prop ose
another
w
a
y
to
view
the
situation.
The
pic
k
is
just
running
ov
er
the
pins
to
get
information
ab out
the
lo
c
k.
Based
on
an
analysis
that
information
the
torque
is
adjusted
to
mak
e
the
pins
set
at
the
sheer
line.
It's
the
torque
wrench
that
op
ens
the
lo ck.
V
arying
the
torque
as
the
pick
mo
v
es
in
and
out
of
the
keyw
a
y
is
a
general
tric
k
that
can
b e
used
to
get
around
sev
eral
picking
problems.
F
or
example,
if
the
middle
pins
are
set,
but
the
end
pins
are
not,
you
can
increase
the
torque
as
the
pic
k
mov
es
ov
er
the
middle
pins.
This
will
reduce
the
chances
of
disturbing
the
correctly
set
pins.
If
some
pin
do
esn't
seem
to
lift
up
far
enough
as
the
pic
k
passes
o
v
er
it,
then
try
reducing
the
torque
on
the
next
pass.
The
skill
of
adjusting
the
torque
while
the
pick
is
mo
ving
requires
careful
co
ordination
b etw
een
your
hands,
but
as
y
ou
b ecome
b etter
at
visualizing
the
pro cess
of
picking
a
lo
c
k,
you
will
b
ecome
b etter
at
this
imp ortant
skill.
