The good thing about these particular locks is once it's unlocked you undo a small Phillips screw and the lock barrel pops out. The locksmith made up a new key for me.
Outstanding! Yeah, picking these locks when you haven't picked 1000 or 2000 other locks before and developed the feel that the guy on YT have is a much harder, more time consuming process. I've also found that trying to pick a lot that's locked onto something is harder than picking a lock that's in your hand while you sit at a desk, on the couch, etc.... So that's impressive that you got it open in 3 hours.

Very, very cool!
