Security pins

[jbearnolimits]

Is there any practice locks that use security pins? I think I am working on a lock with some now but it would be nice to be able to see what is happening with the pins as I try to pick them so I can get to the point I can visualize it as I feel it in the real lock.

There is a long list of practice locks that use security pins.

You can buy from Sparrow lockpicks or lockpickshop.com. both have cutaway cylinders you can buy with security pins and include extra pins so you can also get practice repinning or changing the configuration to alter the challenge. I would advise against the clear plastic acrylic cylinders though if you're trying to get the feel for security pin binding. It feels different in the plastic cylinder compared to metal. Just my humble opinion though.
