Mine has to be the Kwikset 660 deadbolt. Its the first lock I picked and although it is not much of a challenge these days there is something oh so satisfying about seeing that bolt open. :D

My favorite to open is Schlage. My favorite to come up against on a lockout is junk kwikset or knockoffs, cause I know I'll be walking away super quick :lol:
Coming across Schlage on a job, I'm not so elated. Some open very fast for me, some are moderate, but I have had some beasts that have just not wanted to give.

I also like picking mailbox locks. When I first started I was told to just drill them out and replace them, that it wasn't worth the time to pick them. But I have found from doing so many, that the majority are fairly quick to pick, and it just looks so much nicer than going at it with the rotary pick.

That's exactly why my favorite is American padlocks! 8)
