Ease up on the tension .....

Started picking 2 days ago, and now have gone through every lock, door, and deadbolt in the house.
Have a Weiser deadbolt that is a little tricky. Working on speed, consistency, and "touch" now.
Any good reference on types of locks (Manufacturers) and best methods for each?

Sure,

Do not pick locks in use. Get some used ones just for picking or find a restore- they normally have bins full for cheap.

And to answer your question, practice practice practice.

It would help to know where you are (even what country), as lock availability varies quite a bit in various parts of the world. (If you have a Weiser deadbolt, I'm guessing you're in Canada?)

As a side-note, a lot of folks new to lockpicking have run themselves into trouble picking their own door locks... you'll find that most people here (myself included) recommend that you resist the temptation to practice on any of your locks that are actually in use. (You sound like you're really getting into this hobby and are interested in learning -- so I don't want to sound at all like I'm questioning your abilities, but in all seriousness we seem to get at least one post a week from someone who's inadvertently jammed a lock while picking it.) Just my $0.02.

As far as the location.... I am in Arizona. I definitely will curb my enthusiasm and not mess up
my house locks! I did realize how unsecure my house was, and how we all think that having a
deadbolt is the answer for security. I appreciate everyone's advice!

Thanks,

Ah, okay. Based on that, I'd suggest that moving up to either a Yale or a Schlage deadbolt would be a good next step. Both have more restricted keyways than a Kwikset/Weiser (which will help you refine your technique in navigating in tighter spaces), the Schlage locks are built on average to much higher tolerances (which will increase the difficulty in picking), and both Schlage and Yale include security pins in many of their locks (which will also add an extra challenge).

Once you start moving up to more challenging locks, you may also want to have a look (if you haven't already) at DB's Beginner's Lockpicking Exercise.

Hope that helps!
