Then apply very light tension in the direction to unlock the lock. I stress the point: do not use too much tension. You must develop a light touch with the hand that applies the tension. If tension is too heavy, the top pins will bind below the shear-line and will not allow the breaking-point to meet the shearline.

Now, with light tension applied, go through the raking operation, in slowly and out with a snap with upward pressure on the pins with the tip only.

Repeat this operation three or four times. If the plug does not turn and open the lock, release the tension on the plug—but, before releasing tension, put your ear close to the cylinder and listen for the sound of the pins clicking back into the down position. Release tension slowly so you can hear all the pins. If there is no sound, you were applying too little or too much tension, not allowing the breaking-point to bind at the shear-line.
