They are the locks that are right in the door handle. All they do is when you unlock it, it allows you to trun the knob. What type of lock is this so I know to buy the right kit to pick it.

They are called Key-in-Knob locks. They can be just about anytype of lock type from dimple to lever to pin. Now I'm going to make an educated guess that it is a standard pin tumbler lock. For that type of lock a standard southord set will work just fine for you. Try the 14 piece set from http://www.lockpickshop.com it works great for most beginners.

For future reference though try to provide more information when you are asking a question, and always try searching and reading the FAQ's

My 14 piece kit from Southord just came in, It's fantastic for doors, pad'locks, and stuck on grease stains :)
But seriously, If you know how to pick one lock, you know how to pick most. The only real variation in picks you'll use are the sizes. Most people I know stick with the common snake rake, deep hook, and diamond.

Fallen pin: I strongly disagree with your statement that if you can pick one lock you can pick them all. Try a lever lock or a Abloy Disclock or a MIWA magnetic lock, they require a completely different approach and different tools. Generalizations like that tend to do people a disservice.
