Hello there. When I train people to pick locks, we start on the real thing. What I would suggest is to buy a few cheap padlocks but make sure the keyway is not too small.
Note though not all locks even of the same type and brand are equally easier to pick. I even have a group of padlocks that are identical and use the same key, and one is a bit harder than the others.
