Yes, file the ends into a wedge shape - about a 45 degree diagonal on the
inside, so the unlocking tool/pins can ride up onto the spring-loaded
locking mechanism(s) in the tumbler cylinder and push them inward as the
unlocking tool is inserted. A blunt end on the unlocking tool/pins can get
hung up on an obstruction and not push the locking pins inward.

a diagonal - a wedge shape - on the inner surfaces at the ends of my
U-shaped unlocking tool/piece of coathanger.
You mean remove material from the legs on the inside of the U?
