best lock to practice on?

by **Deathadder** » 22 Jul 2006 14:39

does anyone know what a good cheap lock to practice on would be? Ive heard about the brinks, but that might be too hard for me. is there anything that takes a little less skill than that?

i would really appreciate it if you helped me because i only have 2 padlocks to practice on and they are about 100 years old

umm, well try going to your local hardware store, and picking up like 2 or 3 of the cheapest deadbolts you can find, aim for at least one that says something like "anti-pick spool pins" or "security pins" or something of the like. then disassamble those and play with them. doing this you can apply digital blues sinlge pin picking exercise. (use the search for that)

Ah US based,

Try going for a Kwikset then you can build on that,

kwikset, defiant, or mountain security for door hardware, and a Master no. 3 or one of its many knock-offs for a padlock.
