Easy Locks

Postby Redi_Spades » 20 Mar 2010 6:20

Hey all,

I am new to the lock picking world, and I have only picked a handful of simple locks. I am looking for some basic locks to pick and I don't even know where to begin. I also need to know where I should go to buy them (I can only really shop online because I am Military and overseas). I would appreciate all the help that I could get, thanks =)

Don;t know where you're posted but isn't there anything like a PX/BX? Must be if you can get to the internet. No padlocks for sale?

If that's still not a route you care for, you might think about buying a 'lot' from ebay.

Get yourself a Kwikset 660 deadbolt, that's what I started on and they are like $10.
