i have gone across the forums and i am most interested in home made lock picking set templates and material used, as so in my place i cannot purchase the sets or even order them so i wonder if the attached photo of an old sunglass which i was nearly to throw would do the job, looking forward for ur comments.

can you not order them because no companies ship there or because its not legal to own picks where you live?

If the latter i would not recommend pursuing the hobby it will end up getting you in to a lot of trouble.

As for the actual pick it looks like a straight bit of metal so probably not that good. have a look on the sites that sell them and look at the hooks, half diamonds and snakes (S Rakes)

U will also need a tension wrench. have a look on Google for the MIT guide to lock picking
