A-ha, I knew there have to be lock nerds on Lemmy.

But yeah the basics are dead simple, you just need to have a light touch and listen to your fingers 😄

And so much of the stuff applies for the majority of lock mechanisms. A lot of it boils down to "apply tension, feel for pins / disks / sliders / wafers / whatever that don't want to move and then you make them move, while leaving the other pins / etc. alone. Repeat until done"
