What a nightmare

Received my KGB pick set in the post this afternoon. After 15 minutes of trying the 4 different picks in the set, i picked my first lock ever on my front door with one of the picks. Then a few minutes later i picked it again and a minute later i did it again. I tried the other 3 picks in the set with no joy so i returned to the pick that seemed to work. On my forth attempt, just my luck, the pick snapped in half. Does anyone know where ya can buy replacement KGB picks? I have looked around sites and it only sells as a set as far as i can see. I have been trying the same lock with the other 3 picks and i still can't do it. I really don't want to have to buy another complete set for Â£58 when all i need is one pick. I know ya can buy ordinary single picks but i would like to get the exact same pick if only to have my set complete again? Cheers guys.

You can order individual picks made by SouthOrd from http://www.lockpickshop.com. They are not the KGB picks, but I'm sure you'll find something you like. Don't forget to put LP101 in the coupon box.

Cheers DB. I do have another 20 piece pick set from Southord. I really would like to get a replacement KGB pick though. Not just to complete the set again, but also, so far the pick that snapped on me is the only pick out of the 24 picks i now own that i have actually managed to open a lock with. None of the other picks in either of my 2 sets are exactly the same as the one that snapped and i haven't seen a single pick on any website that is exactly the same as it apart from in the KGB set. I really don't want to have to buy another full KGB set just to replace that one pick.

which pick from the kgb set is it? I have part of the hpc regal set I can scan so you can at least have a 1:1 template to make a new one.

It's ok zeke. I think i found one the same shape. It's the MLS 12 slimline pick. I can just order it, cut the handle in half and put the little rubber handle cover on it. Thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it

Are you going to upgrade your front door lock now?

I know I would...

Why would i upgrade it? The sort of people who live around here don't use lock picks to break in to houses. Unless there is a lock pick set out there with picks the shape of bricks

The Dude has nilhists with ferrets kicking his door down, didn't you see the "big lebowski" when he gets knocked down, he becomes a bowling ball going through the legs of cheerleaders in bowling costumes.

I like the sound of the cheerleaders part. I wouldn't mind picking a cheerleaders lock with my pick

Hang on - you yourself picked your own front door lock in a short time (how long?) within minutes of getting a lock pick, and that doesn't worry you at all?
