Finally found a Lock pick seller in vancouver

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

Hey guys :D
I finally found a place that sells picks in the lower mainland!!!
I think they sell Southords


Spy Zone at
321 Pender St W
Vancouver, BC V6B 1T3
Canada


But the price is quite high :shock: and you have to sign some sort of waiver.....

But for those that can't make picks or really wants to buy some theres another option for you guys

Cheers

Thanks HOBBYPICKER..

Yah there are a lot of Spy Shops out there, and I have read somewere on the board that they are high priced.

Also check out http://www.lockpickshop.com/ you can buy from them too. I think this site would be your best bet if you want to buy.


Have fun and welcome to the site

A lot of spy shops carry and sell lockpicks but since they focus mainly on electronic spy equipment their lockpick selection is often limited to the basic tools. Usually can't compare to online stores that specialize in pick tools like lockpicks.com
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture

:D Thanks guys for the info...
Like most people on the site I believe that part of the fun is in spending the time to make and play around with the designs of hombrews...it's just that alot of people in Vancouver don't have the skills or materials to make such tools....
although wiperblades are available.............. street cleaning bristles are almost impossible to find around here...it's as little Leprechauns pick them up every time one breaks....hahaaaaa

Street Aweeper Bristles and Vancouver..............

I was driving home one evening in North Vancouver right around Keith and what do i see but some grub walking down the street with a whole street sweeper brush on his shoulder.

As I was only a couple of blocks from a Public Works Yard it was clear this resourceful fellow found the proverbial pot at the end of the rainbow.


On a serious note in vancouver proper you do not find Bristles because Vancouver uses Nylon brushes
