Hello,

Well let my introduce myself first. My name is Tim and i live in the Netherlands, Europe. I'm a beginner in the masters of lockpicking and I wanna give lockpicking a try. Can anyone here give me advice on a good cheap beginner lock ? .. I'm currently trying an Abus 65/25 but I don't know if this is a good beginners lock.

Thanks..

Using search you could've find many topics on this but as I've seen before, no new one actually use search.

Anyway that Abus lock contains (if I remember correct) serrated pins so it might be little hard as a novice lock. Try some noname padlock from your local hardware store first, it shouldn't cost more than a 3-5 Euros :)

Oh and welcome to the forum!

Thank you, and sorry for not using the search option, I didn't even noticed that it was in the top screen.
I am going to my local hardware store today and get a cheap lock.
