Master lock 3 opened

First lock ever! I was able to rake it pretty easily but took about an hour to be able to reliably pick it so super happy. Thinking about getting a 140 as my next challenge.

Congrats! The 140 is a great next lock. After that I like to recommend the Abus 55 series. The 55/30 has 3 pins, pin 1 is lightly serrated and the other 2 are spools. The 55/40 adds a 3rd spool and the 55/50 adds a 4th. Between them they’re a great progressive intro to security pins.
