Apparently, the easy way to pick these types of locks is by “raking” them, which consists of inserting a “rake” inside the lock and then rapidly pulling it out, effectively bouncing the upper pistons up but keeping the bottom ones down. Add a little constant torque with a screwdriver or something more specialized and you have yourself an open lock without the key
Actually your better off using a bump key. Less likely to damage the lock and takes less time and skill. But bump keys differ depending on the manufacturer.
I could just watch this forever… it’s oddly soothing.
But I must say I had some idea of how it all worked after playing Oblivion

Or so I heard.
