right set

[Jon1987]

I am ready to invest in a lock pick set and have read the faq on frequently asked questions. I live in the U.S.A but I was wondering if those Euro picks would be a better choice. I wanted to pick a variety of locks like the deadbolts on doors and maybe some padlocks. A padlock has a small keyway so i figured the Euro picks would cover all the bases. But maybe the Euro locks wouldn't work well with locks with a large keyway...Any Suggestions? Thx

The only reasons not to buy slimlines are that they're a little bit more expensive, and just a little bit weaker, because they're thinner. They're much more worth it though. Even on locks with more open keyways, they won't hinder you at all.

Go with the slimlines.

Just be gentle with them.
