I need to have access to lockers at a swimming pool since i work there and sometimes people lose their backup keys :D. They are not padlocks but are embedded into the doors of the lockers. Also i just need to be able to open basic doors around the pool. I was thinking about getting the electric one from here:
http://www.lockpickshop.com/p-LAT-17.html

but im wondering if it will work on really small locker locks.... :?

The max i can spend is $55. And i have that 10% off coupon to the site. I have never picked a lock in my life, and i want something that is easy but can work for everything. Can the electric work for everything or not? If manual is the best way to go then please tell me but i dont want it to be so hard i cant do it.

The other 2 options i was looking at were these:

http://www.lockpickshop.com/p-PXS-14.html

Please tell me which was i should go Kwick Pick/Electric/Manual

Thanks so much!!!

Doesn't the management of the pool keep a key for all the lockers?
Thats much easier than picking. Espeically when you haven't even said what kind of lock is on the lockers.

the first one isn't electric... but works well.

Normally pools have a master key.. like any other business.

Since you are obviously not the pool manager, these locks are therefore not your responsibility. And if you havent got his permission to go opening lockers then I doubt anyone here will give you heaps of help in opening other people's property.

First post was to ask what to buy to open locks/doors you dont own!
Second post was a rude follow up!

I doubt your motives.

This is a complete line of crap i worked at my pool in the consessions stand for three summers and we have lockers for public which the pool issues a lock, and one for the swim teams were also issued locks byt he pool owner and only the owner had the Master keyor keys to open the locks, which by the way was locked in his office. So to answere your question at my pool if we so much as even dared to take the key/keys or tryed to open the locker.. job terminated, your lieing here and is jail or juvy time really worth getting into a locker with what 5 bucks in it? please i dont mean to flame but i know the rules because i worked there for three summers and i am sure there the same at your pool... answere dont bother allow the owner to take charge and if he lost the keys.. call a professional locksmith.
