I would simply like to add here that yuo will benefit from sanding them... this will make the picks smoother and easier to glide into the lock - it will also lessen the damage raking will do to the pins.

I just ordered a "blemish" 5 piece pick set from Southord.com they sent an email saying the invoice was shipped. gave me the UPS tracking number but UPS says they dont have any record of the shipment. I've emailed them about my problem. tried calling the contact number from the website and they say it's being checked for trouble

How long ago did you place the order? Many places have pre-printed UPS labels with tracking numbers that they stick onto packages. If the package hasn't been placed in UPS' hands, UPS doesn't know it exists yet. This may be the case with your order. Just give it another day or so and see what happens.

Nah, you're fine. Just think about all those people who have to wait out the 3 week lead time to get their KEbump tools! ;-)

I'm think you and devildog should fight it out to see who's more anxious. :D

well, i'd advise you to go to go HERE for a little bit of training, and also brush up your knowledge with the MIT guide and just the guides lying around here.
Also, you'll find the Search function a great help to get whatever knowledge you want on a subject.

Go buy yourself a kwikset deadbolt, either pick it or review the tutorial on how to disasible it and repin it. I have a SouthOrd set also and i love it... i will upgrade later on but for now. they are great... much better than paperclips lol
