My dad bought these locks off ebay for me to pick.My question is are these easy to pick and how do they operate?

The two on the left are warded locks and aren't really picked in the truest form of the word but theres still lots of information on them (just search warded lock). The one on the right is a wafer lock and is a pretty easy pick with a hook or a ball rake.

like nekret said, but I have to admit that when I saw the photo, I was surprised, those are essentially low end locks, but the eagle lock company which i believe no longer exists, has also made some very high quality pin tumblers that are machined like best locks. very tight. and some of their keyways are also very restrictive.

Eagle were also big on so-called "Bell" locks with sidewinder keys. These ones are worth having.

thanks for your help guys,but i have one more question,can i pick the warded locks with standard pick or do i have to get the warded pick set?

interesting, my dad gave me one of these eagle locks i keep on my footlocker and I cannot pick it, it has a very restrictive/thin keyway and they key is weird, toward the tip there is a 0 cut for 3 off the pins but it is too restrictive, but i bet a bumpkey would work
