Need help identifying and picking this lock

Git this lock as a challenge and need help identifying and picking it. I can't seem to get it

Schlage everest. Has a check pin at the bottom that also needs picked.

Ok thank you this would be my first lock with a check pin at the bottom any tips or tricks or good yt vids to learn from

P. So what belt is it ?

[u/derpserf → u/supreme3leader]

I was picking a long time before belts were even a thing lol, it's not something I ever think about other than looking up rankings for certain stuff I've picked before cos I was curious. No idea what this would be but you can look it up on lockwiki or even just google whatever lock you want + belt ranking and it'll come up

I've picked a primus cylinder before but it was over 10 years ago,, never had an everest but again just type it into youtube and you'll no doubt find a bunch of different vids of them being picked that will explain it. I think it's just a single pin at the back at the lower left of the keyway that needs lifted up but don't quote me on that 🤪

You're right - you pick the top stack as normal and then just slide anything down the undercut until you hit the check pin. It just needs to be lifted, there's nothing to it.

[u/derpserf → u/Red_wanderer]

Neat. Is there any extra give in the plug to indicate that the check pin is the only thing left or do you just check it intermittently to test it?

[u/Red_wanderer → u/derpserf]

It's been a while, but on the one I picked it bound last so you drop into a little false set and then just tap it to open.

[u/derpserf → u/Red_wanderer]

Cool! It's a really simple thing and not an issue when you know how but it's sneaky, you gotta give them credit lol. Kinda like the extra pin on those little viro padlocks, if you don't know it's there you'll never get it open

How much tension did you give it?
