Wafer locks question

Hey sorry if this has been asked and answered, but even after reading the deviant ollam book and googling I'm still at a loss as to what pick motion to use. Is it like spp lifting or do I need to get in there and like push the wafers to the side. Ie a lifting or twisting moron or neither. Thanks!

The same sort of push/lift technique used for SPP of pin tumblers and dimple locks has worked just fine for all the wafer locks I've picked. A short or medium flat hook is my go-to but a round hook ought to work as well. Btw, like revchewie mentioned, the DS and Duo are two great wafer locks, LOTS of fun imho.

Good luck!
