Hi/lo rakes
Sparrows King & Queen Flat Rakes for hi/lo pinning
Locks with high and low pinning, where half the pins are short and half are long, make raking and single-pin picking trickier than usual. The King and Queen flat rakes are shaped to deal with that hi/lo pattern, keeping your raking in check when the pin heights are working against you.

Why buy this
Buy this when pin heights vary a lot
Big differences between high and low pins cause oversetting and stalled picks. A pair of rakes shaped for hi/lo patterns moves the pins more evenly, so you open locks that fight a standard rake.
Hi/lo shaped
Profiles made for mixed pin heights.
Two rakes
King and Queen cover the pattern together.
Even movement
Reduces oversetting on varied stacks.
Use route
Rake the hi/lo pattern evenly
Use light tension and let the rake profile ride the high and low pins, then finish any stubborn pins with a hook. Practise on locks you own or may lawfully open.
- Use on suitable locks with hi/lo pinning.
- Keep tension light to avoid oversetting.
- Finish stubborn pins with a hook.
Helpful next step: the Rook and Knight rakes.
