Need to get some good locks

[Sarthex]

well, i'm new to this (first post, yee! ) and i need something to practice on. now, i live in Belgium and i have no clue about what kind of locks to buy. I already have found a tiny "Tri-Circle" lock, a "Magnum" lock and an "Abus" lock in the garage. They are all padlocks and i can open the Tri-circle and magnum with relative ease. anyone living in Belgium that knows what i need to get next? i don't think my mum let's me buy something over the internet (being 15 i think that's really stupid)

Thanks in advance!

ps: I also need to get a lockpick set, but for now i improvised a hair pin as pick and a hammered and bended nail as tension wrench

All those padlock brands you mentioned are good to practice on, but I would suggest buying a rekeyable type lock cylinder and use that, as you can mix the pins and it becomes a totally different lock then

PS: I woul think twice about your location description on this forum, as we do not want that kind of things happening in here, okay?

Thanks.

Well, I live in Belgium too, and managed to convince my parents to get me a set . (eye-popper.nl is reliable). At this stage there isn't much I can advise, just get your hands on as much locks as you can.

(Where in Belgium btw, I thought I was the only one! :p)

Hey

I'm also from Helgium. You might want to try the Litto E-Profiel. Its the older profile from Litto. They don't sell them anymore (except for master key systems). Its a lot easier to pick then the Select 5 profile.

It can be rekeyed quite easely too.

I'm 14 and I've bought sets from SouthOrd, LockPickShop amongst many others, and my mum doesn't mind.

She understands that I don't want to steal junk from peoples houses, she understands that I see the lock is a puzzle, and that I'm just putting the pieces together (Yes, it's the same speech that convinced her )

But seriously, if you honestly don't want to steal stuff then try to explain it to her.

Also, it's helped mum heaps when she's left the keys inside and I can pop up and ask if she needs my help
