I live in the UK and my experience of Multipick-Service has not been good. Apart from the ridiculous demands to send a copy of your credit card and passport before they will let you pay by credit card, they have significant problems communicating when things go wrong. It seems that their email addresses work perfectly well when you are discussing how to get money to them but when things are wrong with the order their email addresses seem to stop working. Very strange. So to sum up; too much hassle, avoid.

I have found Devon Locks good to deal with in the past although that was a couple of years ago.

The OP is asking for suggestions for UK based Pick suppliers, correct me if i'm wrong, but lockpickshop are located in Massachusetts arn't they?

On another note, I myself when buying online prefer to buy anything from a UK based company, the reasons for this are faster delivery times and usually (not always) contact details to phone up at a reasonable rate, or the ability to visit in person to hand out a thrashing should anything go wrong, lol.

Personally the extra fiver to me wouldn't break the bank, and i'd be more confident of a safe delivery.

Anyway, what am I expaining for? I'm simply adding another UK supplier to the list, your reply came accross as slightly hostile, I am only trying to help.

Ah, I see...

I am based in ireland, I had made quite a significant purchase from devonlocks, what a mistake! Its been 17 days since I made my order and the response from my emails is much to be desired (1-2 days later)!! I have since asked for a refund and guess what!? Im still waiting for a reply.

So my advise to you would be very careful who you purchase from. I think half the time the testomonies are written by the seller them selves.

[rivalryan]

all please disregard my previuos statement about devonlocks, I got mixed up as I have alot of dealings with these companys"!guilfordlocks was who I was talking! when I asked for a refund they said they would notifie the police of potential ellegal lock picking!! have you ever heard of anything so rediculous before??!

[radioman1974]

I bought some hpcs that slipped the net on ebay,although ive never used them as i managed the lock i wanted with a little bump most dealers in the uk want all the paperwork,and only a few years ago i went in a shop in preston lancashire for a hiatt cuff key to be copied and was turned away,must of been my skinhead! i was then pulled by the police and asked why i wanted a handcuff key and given a producer for my documents!! oh and they took away my original key...my partner was pretty upset.

[UWSDWF]

did you have a legit reason for the cuff keys?.... or just incase whilst exploring?.....

[radioman1974]

Theres no law against owning handcuffs,either for buisness,ie security as long as youve done the course,or sexual pleasure. i bough a box load now as there always handy to sell onto police at trade shows as i sell and programme two way radios,although im intrested in old locks.only came on here as i found loads of locksmith stuff in a garage that was being demolished,,ive since picked two locks!
