Unlock/Pick a Highfield Lock

[Call_Me_Bitches]

knowledge needed to educate:

Highfield Lock - pat no. 4474041.

I've read of bending a medium finishing nail 90 degrees and clipping off most of the tip. Using this to pull the back of the spring towards you: anonym.to - free dereferer service

What are some other methods used to open these locks?

Is there a way to make a more accurate key?

Which professional pick would work best?

Google Patent Details: anonym.to - free dereferer service Visually reveals the interior mechanism. These patent files are great!

Just wanted to say that i can't open the second link. Not sure if it's just me or if it's a bad link.
