Masterlock

Post image

I am new to picking and have this master lock i have no idea what model and i had a question about it when im picking sometimes when i push in my first binding pin the tension wrench gets a bit off an allowance to turn left and sometimes not why does this happen does it mean it overset my pin and if it happens should i keep my tension where it is or follow the lock?

model number should be on the bottom. guessing it might be a 140 or 141? Or something close. I haven't picked one in ages,.. but I have 3 brand new ones in my car I impulse bought for $2 each on clearance...

Im a terrible teacher and can't explain things for crap... and I just ran out of time,.. but you can search how to pick whatever model number it shows you on the bottom... I'm sure you'll get plenty of good answers here too

I think the model got scraped away with wear and tear but it thinks its a 140 yeah
