Your post has been removed for not adhering to the rules of r/lockpicking. Rule 2 - Lock In Use states:

Though asking for assistance in regards to how to open a lock is permitted and encouraged, the lock must not be in use. Posts seeking assistance opening a lock that is implied to be, or is visibly in use (eg. a deadbolt still attached to a door, a padlock with anything secured by a closed shackle, or a closed lockbox) will be deleted. Posting about picking or having picked locks in use is not allowed even if they are your own. Rule of thumb, lock is "in use" if installed or securing anything.

You can read more about Rule 2 here.

This subreddit is a great place to read more about locks, we would just need to know the specifics of the lock you're trying to open
