I get a lot of call outs from the locksmith New Eltham office for padlock key cutting and rim cylinders in apartment blocks, no letterbox mostly tightly fitted door (mica no good). Always struggle with union rim cylinders drilled 1 last night.

Have opened on bench and don’t struggle with other brands any advice Union cylinders can be a git to pick. They can jam up with epg. Sometimes they go into anti pick.
 
These easilocks door lock efforts can need picking twice as in the pins are tapered and all set on the slope and the plug picks. But all pins have met shear line only all need nudging up a mil.

I find my WENDT EPG gives me most success, however on occasions I have to go into anti pick then single pin pick to open. Tried to bump a union today for 20 mins with no joy. Hopefully the bump training at the locksmith New Eltham training centre tomorrow morning will help.

This lock has a bolt which throws twice with the key and it has a latch operated from inside with a small pull handle on the end of the case. The customer said that he went out and the latch had slipped on which won't let him turn the key.

You need to pull straight back on the handle and turn it up 90 degrees to hold the latch open. There is no letterbox on the door. Is he locked out then If not can you get to the inside If so get a wire pick and hook it in behind the end of the deadbolt and put pressure on the bolt whilst turning the key.

Sometimes this will enable the deadbolt to retract, then it's just springing open the latch Yes he was locked out, I have drilled out the cylinder and turned the lock with a screwdriver, using quite a bit of force.

This opened it but I had to replace the inner lock and the cylinder because the inner lock is keyed to the cylinder. Customer happy enough, he is selling the house so no problems.

Are Euro Cylinder locks more difficult to rake or SPP once they are fitted to a door? I find them a lot easier to pick set in a vice or holding in my hand, however having set one in a door this afternoon I am unable to pick it by raking or SPP at all.

Then again once I removed it from the lock I again found it easy to access. It might just be the angle that I am entering the lock from as it will obviously be different set in the door than it is in my hand or the vice.
 
your last paragraph says it all really mate you answered your own question, you know you've picked these locks so it’s just trying to get comfortable at the door normally on your knees  I have a small folding fisherman's stool, just for wet days.
 
On a bench and in door are two completely different scenarios, hence a lot of lock sport guys struggle on doors and hence with the best of intentions a lot of real good locksmiths relent and go for the rotary pick sometimes. Personally as a working locksmith New Eltham area operater I don’t SSP, I haven’t got the time or the patience, I EPG and always prefer the lock in a door.
