Which locks to get next?

Postby Crazyman67 » 5 Jan 2011 20:02

I tried to use the search function and did not find much of what I was looking for. If this question has been already asked please just let me know and I will promptly delete this thread. I started picking several years ago and joined this forum and had to stop picking for a while due to other issues. Now I’m getting back into it some and I can pick kwikset locks and a few pad locks. I was wondering which locks I should try and move to next, I don’t mind spending a little money and I don't need to get anything too hard yet. I would just like to know what the next step is. Any insight from someone knowledgeable would be amazing. Thanks everyone for your time!
