WoW they look real good.

Great job on the picks, but I'm curious as to how useful they are. They look very big to me and it seems like they wouldn't fit into most smaller keyways. Have you tried picking different locks with them yet? What were your results?

No, not yet. I will be going to the local locksmith sometime this weekend, so maybe I'll end up with more locks. Up until then, I will continue picking a kwikset deadbolt (personal best= 5 seconds). It may be junk, but hey, at least it's a lock.

Not much, but at least they were free!

Nice one.. looks like you have some to practice on at least. Let us know how you get on.

I picked the "Overhead Door" one, the "Amerilite" one, and the "Kwikset" tulip knob one. I have yet to pick the other cylinder. 'tis too easy. NEED MORE LOCKS

I have picked all four! These Picks work better than I thought.

1. Easier said than done.
2. Emry cloth is your friend.
3. Metal dust can go really far up ones nostrils, wear a dust mask.
4. Our basement needs more light.
5. My dad's dremel was defective.

Okay, heres my list

1. Use the right size wiperblade insert
2. Use a proper vice (Two pieces of wood and a couple of G-Clamps wont cut it)
3. Make sure your dad gets his tools from anywhere but Wilkinsons (PLEHH)

Actually, emry paper caused the tips of my fingers to get really tender for about 2 days, I didn't notice until later, and my dad's dremel wasn't completely defective. I knew it was on its way out before i started the project, but it was dead before I finished.

Master #1 can be added to the list of locks defeated by these picks!
