Unlocked Sparrows Standard Cutaway Lock - eviltoast

This lock is a bit interesting. I keep trying to replicate the same process I took to unlock it and I guess you just push the tension wrench slightly as lots of tension didn’t seem to affect it, and just continue picking it even if it goes down. It’s a bit annoying if I’m gonna be honest here. The pins keep coming back down so I guess I just tried pushing it up over and over until it gets “stuck”? Any advice for approaching this?
