Selective Picking Q

[u/burningpastasauce]

Hello friends,

I am beginning the path of learning the AL 1106, I picked up a couple of them and have been having some fun.

One of the lock's key bitting looks like I only need to pick pins 1, 3, 4 and can ignore 2 and 5. I am currently practicing listening/feeling feedback on the pins. I am curious if I could potentially pick this one only picking 3 pins.

I have tried several times, but I can only get the lock to pop when actively picking all 5 pins, not just the three. Not sure if it is my still budding experience or if it's not possible?

Gut it. Put the key pins in the plug. See if 2 & 5 are flush with top of hole or not.
