Brazilian standard locks?

Postby Blooper » 10 Aug 2011 13:31

Hey i'm a complete rookie on the business, an english locksmith friend showed this to me and it totally hooked me up. So i was going to buy some lock pick set and try it in some locks i got in my house, purely for practicing/having fun (i love "puzzles" like this, rubik's cube, neodymium magnets, etc.). But checking the websites i learned that US locks and European/Asian locks haven't different sizes, and now i'm not sure if i should buy the standard pick set for US or the slim set, for European/Asian locks.

Does anyone know with which do brazilian locks look like the most, US or European ones? Or should i just buy the slim set (for starters), as according to the shop i found, where they stated the slim set can be used for both US and European locks?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I don't know how the brazilian locks look like
but i know how the central american locks look likes
i got a couples of them,the have small keyway
not all of them ofcoure are like that
but you should go with the slim set, for European/Asian locks
i am pretty sure this set will work well on
those type of locks
good luck.
