Firstly, I recommend you check out the law thread to see about the legality of lockpicks in your local area. I understand Australia is more restrictive than some places.

Assuming they are legal where you are, and are legal to mail, I would recommend you buy them online. They seem to generally be cheaper and easier to find online. If that isn't possible, and you're not up to making them yourself, I understand if you find a somewhat legitimate "espionage shop", you might find them there (although I wouldn't be surprised if they're more pricey).

As Nezumi said online is the best.But spend a little time as prices vary also check postage.The cheapest only sell to locksmiths it seems.Make your own if you have to there is loads of info on this site and a boat load of people willing to help.

yeah i've been making some picks but don't get me wrong they are great and probably the best i will ever use but i just wanted to get a feel of commercial made picks compared to mine.
