The keyway is relatively open and easy to move a pick through, making it a good starting point. It can become very tempting to "cheat" a bit here and move ahead the moment you get a difficult lock open the first time, but that will only make the rest of the course that much harder. As a general rule, locks mounted on the left side of a door open clockwise, while locks on the right side of a door open counterclockwise. If you're not in my seminar, the references to the lock boards in the lab don't apply, of course; you will need to configure your own training locks to follow these exercises. Small digits represent short bottom pins (that must be pushed up more to reach the shear line); large digits represent longer bottom pins (that need only be pushed up a bit). Straight pool, also known as 14.1 continuous, is a game where players must pocket a set number of balls to reach a predetermined score. Eventually, you'll reach a point where the plug will turn ever so slightly and the pin will not go up any farther. If you release pressure with your pick while still applying torque, the bottom pin will drop freely, and will not have any spring pressure if you try to push it back up.

Now the plug is being prevented from moving by the next most misaligned pin (which, in this case, is the other pin, since there are only two). This difficulty limits even the best players to an average of one to two points per turn. Learn to apply the minimum amount of torque needed to turn the plug. Apply some torque to the plug and feel the two pin stacks with your pick. In lock picking terminology, we say that the pin statck is binding. Intuitively visualizing the inside of a lock takes a bit of practice, but will pay off as you start picking locks in earnest. If just one pin sets at the "other" shear line, the lock will not open even though all the pin stacks are picked. Some locks will open both clockwise and counterclockwise, but many will only open when turned a particular way, depending on the configuration of the underlying locking mechanism. That means being able to reliably pick the lock, both clockwise and counterclockwise, and being confident that you know how you opened it.

While applying light to moderate torque, push and pull a gently rounded rake pick from front to back and back to front along the pin stacks. Practice distinguishing between the pin states and then finish picking the cylinder. Again, repeat the exercise with the aim of learning to distinguish between these states with as little lifting as possible. While the LAB picks are quite nice, their small size makes them rather delicate and easy to bend or break, especially as you're learning how much lifting force and torque are involved. If both resist, you're applying too much (the more likely mistake). If both feel springy, you're not applying enough torque (which is unlikely). The pins toward the back may feel a bit different from the pins in the front. Work your pick into the keyway and feel the pins. Your index and middle fingers should be touching the edge of the pick close to where it enters the keyway. In the lab you'll find a collection of small (12 inch by 18 inch) lock boards, each containing six specially pinned locks with a given keyway.

Eventually, what is billiards you'll be able to comfortably pick the locks with five and six pins installed. You have to be prepared to pick locks in either direction. You should be able to confidently find each pin and push it all the way up, without jamming the pick against anything or moving other pins. Now the top pin is above the shear line and the bottom pin is below it. When the plug turned slightly, it trapped the top pin above the shear line, preventing it from re-entering the plug. Now (as long as you continue to apply torque) the other pin should be binding. Lifting pins is one of the basic actions of lock picking, and it's worth taking the time now to become good at it. Because, you see, I seem to be pitching it to you as if it were something good for you, as if it would give you a better future, as if it would improve you. The other should give you a bit of resistance. Because it makes us unable to see that you really cannot divide one thing from another.
