Lock Picking

Initially, we recommend that prospective lock pickers purchase at least 3-4 locks of varying degrees of complexity in order to gauge their skill levels.
The practice locks will determine if you can actually do something with this skill and find out what locks are recommended for beginners.
Most beginners typically start with a padlock, a keyed knob or a pin tumbler deadbolt.
Understand the lock’s level of difficulty before purchasing it.

Choosing the picks is super important as well.
You need to choose picks based on the complexity of the practice locks you purchase.
For basic locks, you can ideally get a universal pick, consult with experts before your purchase.
If you have purchased an electronic lock or a tubular lock or some other complex lock, you will need to purchase dedicated pick sets.
However, we recommend purchasing basic locks and picks initially to understand your skill level.
