Australian Locks

[Ace99]

Sorry if this has been already brought up but I did a search and I didn't find anything. I live in Australia and am wonder what is a good brand or type of practice lock to buy? Thanks.

Head down to Crazy Clarks and buy some Dynaforge deadbolts to practice on. $7 for two cylinders. You can re-pin them quite easily and start off with one pin, etc. They're even cheap enough to buy 6 ($21) and have each cylinder with a different amount of pins (1 pin, 2 pins, 3 pins, etc.) Good to start off with. They've also got KIK (Key-in-Knob) for $6 and heaps of cheap padlocks. HTH

Hey, dude.
Go to Bunnings and get a twenty buck set.
(Key in knob + deadlock is a set).

I haven't tried WA Salvage, but I'm sure that anything
Bunnings has, they'd have a knock-off version for it.

...Come to think of it, anything that (hehe) 'Luigi' has,
would be good for a beginner.

You could go to Woolies/Coles and get a small lockwood padlock
for five bucks.

Also go to the Two Buck Shop/Red Dot and get some padlocks there.

I go to Cashies for a lot of mine, but they are like, sixty bucks secondhand padlocks, probably not what you want, hehe.

I have a few locks that I am not using for now that you could use, as well.
I'm in perth too.

Thanks you guys.

Just remember, the locks in Aus are up-side down.

[Ace99]

I'll remember that.

if you're totaly new - I've found that the lockwood replacement cylinders are almost too well made - if you can find a kwikset at bunnings they may be more suitable.

happy picking!

Jeeez... I could kick myself...all the old cylinders and locks Ive been throwing in the garbage. I could of made them into cut-away cylinders and sold them. Hmmm......

Yip
