Newbie looking for logical progression of locks

Postby kiffy200 » 20 Oct 2015 1:51

Hi everyone I'm new to the lock picking sport (only started 3 days ago) and I got a lock which is one of those clear practice ones so after a while playing around about an hour I could easily pick it within 30 second and now after a few days I can do it 9 times out of 10 under about 20 seconds (without looking of course). I think this may just be because it's a pretty shabby lock though.


So my question is what's the best logical progression for learning? The practice lock I have is 6 pin.

So just wondering like start with 5 pins then 6 then spools etc? Would really appreciate the help guys :)

He did not throw an Abloy Protec and an EVVA MCS into the mix? :twisted:

There are also a couple threads here along the lines of progression of lock picking difficulty, IIRC.
