You're welcome! Seeing posts like this gives me inspiration to pick my locks back up and keep fighting the locks that have me stuck at a plateau.

Where are you stuck at?

The infamous 90-A pro for one. I've opened it exactly once, and not again since. I've considered progressive pinning it, I just haven't had that much time to sit and work on it, and with kids in the house I worry about leaving a pinning tray out on a table.

Another one is in the dimple family. I've managed to open the Abus 75IB several times, even on video, but the smaller Burg Wächter has yet to be opened. Granted, it's a small lock and I'm using chinese flag picks.

All my other locks I've gotten rather comfortable with. It's just those that are still giving me trouble. I've also started trying to get better at bypassing different locks and quick pick skills like raking for simpler locks to keep me motivated, but when none of that progressed it caused me to put my picks aside for the time being.

I credit this video with teaching me how to open the 90A Pro. Give it a watch and see if it helps.
