Is the 8 point tubular lock piking use on a lot of locks?

All my tubular locks are 7 points!

(sorry for my bad english , as you can see , i'm from france!)

7 pin is the most common as opposed to the 8 pin ones yes,

You can convert pick #1 to work on both if you have some workshop experiance,

I ordered the first one as it looked more sturdy than the second one you pointed to.
Also mods are available for the first one.

Devon locks (http://www.devonlocks.com/) I have never used them but have heard good things. These are UK based.

Lock Picks dot Com (http://www.lockpicks.com/index.asp) Had a few bits and they have been OK. UK as well I think but prices in USD for some reason. These seem quite cheap.

If you want cylinder tools then try Southord (http://southord.com/), even with shipping they are cheaper than most UK vendors to the hobbyist.

Try the getting started thread a lot of the questions you need answering will be found there. viewtopic.php?t=10528.

Start out by getting yourself dome cheap locks, eBay is good for this. Go for a 5 pin generic lock (cheap and nasty) if you start out pick anything too difficult you will get frustrated and give up. Try reading the tutorial on re pinning a euro and you will be able to figure out how to take out some of the pin stacks making it a bit easier still.

Shrub:

I saw that you said that one could convert a 7-pin tubular pick to an 8-pin tubular pick, could you convert an 8-pin to a 7-pin?

I bought a tubular pick from DefenseDevices.com, and accidently ordered the 8-pin when I meant to order the 7-pin. They don't accept returns on the picks for fear of customers "purchasing the pick, using them for a single job, then returning the pick." I'm stuck with an 8-pin tubular pick that I don't want and have no use for, but I would love to try to convert it to a 7-pin.

Thanks a lot,

Yes,

If you have a look around there is a quide on the mod, you would simply reverse the proceedure, this is what i did for myself,

Briefly,

You presently have a pin that is inbetween two feeler picks and their slots,

What you need to do is very very carefully drill another hole in the pick that is in the middle on the same centre line as one of the feelers,

You then need to pull the pin out that is there, i would be very very carefull again here as you can easily and i mean easily break the pick if its stuck in there hard, the best thing to do then is to simply cut the pin off thats there and drill another hole to replace that one, gring it low with a dremel.

You then need to make a couple of pins so you have some spare incase you loose one and make them so that they can slide in and out the the holes with a little resistance,

You then simply put the pin in the appropreate hole to change from 7 to 8 pin,
