Most door locks and deadbolts in the US will fall to rakes in a minute or less. I've found the Southord L-rake and Pagoda to be pretty effective. These can be had in basic versions without much of a handle from southord.com for $1.65. (A tension tool is also required; it's pretty much just a bent piece of steel).
I kinda knew "ordinary domestic locks" weren't very secure agains skilled lockpickers, and I don't know if there's some hidden technique required to use those things - but I was astounded and dismayed at how quickly my two different locks fell to such an easily available tool...
In short, standard pins in locks only have one place they're likely to stick when manipulated under tension: the shear line that allows the lock to open. Security pins have additional grooves machined into them that will make the pin stick at points that do not result in the lock opening. It's still possible to pick locks that have them, but it often needs to be done one pin at a time, which is usually slower and tends to require more skill.
