You cannot get one set of picks that will cover all padlocks, reason for this is because some padlocks have levers some have pins so 2 different types of pick sets are needed.
The best place to start is with a 22 piece set of picks, the southord set will do the job nicely, the picks in this set will cover a very wide range of pin type padlocks and cylinder door locks, some of the picks it contains can be used for desk locks using the wafer pins, the lever padlock needs a different pick set but you dont want to try and cram to much in one go, get to know the cylinder type first then move on to other types, practice and tension is the key to success.
