Specificly, a Kwikset 'pick resistant' deadbolt (ANSI GRADE 3). What exactly does this mean? I *assume*, resists picking with standard or basic lockpicks, to be the meaning. I bought the lock to practice picking, but couldn't pick it. I believe that the end of the key being raised high is the reason for this (trying to puch up the end pin with the pick raises the other pins too high). The pattern is sum thing like this <^-___, the < being the tip of the key, and ^, -, _, _, and _ being the five spots where the pins go to open the lock. What would it take to pick this lock? A special type of pick? Sum type of contrivance? Any suggestion or hints?
