Hardware Store Trip

Alright I've got the Southord 10 piece set along with about 10 bump keys. Now its time for me to practice :).

I'm taking a trip down to the local hardware store to pick up a few locks, maybe some key blanks. I need some suggestions on what to pick up at the store. I saw the guide on taking apart the lock to start with one pin so I think I'll take that approach, unless anyone else has a better method. I also might pick up a few of the cheap masterlocks if I've got some spare money.

Whatever you do don't buy the kwikset smart key lock.
If a lock is a puzzle, then its key is the complete picture
