Looking for trouble

[cigma42]

Dear more experienced lock pickers,

I've done my fair share of standard picking (mostly assorted padlocks), but have also done some researching into finding out what those "spool pins" and "security pins" are. However, I haven't run into any locks with these extra defences. I'm eager to try picking against either of these, but don't know where to look. Anyone have any sugggestions about where to find some begining spool pins or security pins to practice on?

Thanks!

Get a Yale cylinder its a 5 pin cylinder which contains 2 spools in them.

Good Lock

Try a Masterlock 6121. There are spools in there.

Master 140 has spools. There are tons of threads here dealing with the same lock, in case you need help.

Or if you're up for a truly humbling experience, pick up an American padlock. Serrated pins are fun!

The Master 140 suggested would be a good starting point though.

Or you could buy a repinnable cylinder like Varjeal sells. It includes several different pins and security pins. Best part about this is you buy one lock and keep changing it to be many locks.

Since no one has mentioned it yet, try the Brinks shrouded shackle padlock. You can pick them up at Wal-Mart for just over 10 bucks. They are 6 pin locks and contain 5 spools on top and 5 serrated pins on bottom.
