I am new to lock picking but I want to buy a cheap set and I want to be able to pick locks like my front door and stuff. I am looking on the net and ebay but I don't know what ones are good and what ones suck.

go to http://southord.com/ and get something small. Their prices are relatively good. Other than that, make some yourself.

Ugg fifth time i am sayign this tonight alone DONT PICK LOCKS YOU RELY ON! If its breaks then your screwed, SO tools are great, try in there discount section for blemished tools. there cheeper nothings wrong they dont shine as much, but this isnt a fashion show, i bought a set and the only thing wrong with them was some guy working there forgot to stamp SO ont hem its a good buy. Forgive me for comin off like an arse buddy... its just i have read about 6 threads now that have i want to pick my front door. Try a nice pad lock, there comfy to hold you can lay in bed and pick and relax, there great for learning, plus when your hunched over you door picking neihbors get suspicious. I had to pick my way in once for emergency ( i locked my dumbself out) and my niehbor scared the hell out of me but yelling at me as she thought i was a burglar, rember padlocks good... front door BADDD :D
