I need something a little more challenging i have picked every single one of my padlocks around 100 times each. I am looking for a lock that is more difficult. I am only 14 so I cannot order online products. i also have limited funds and am willing to spend around 20$ i will even spend more if that is what it takes to get better but would like to spend less if its possible. I can get a ride to local stores such as wal-mart, lowes,home depot, ace hardware, ect. I have been able to pick a couple of masterlocks that have 4- pins and some other padlocks that also have 4-pins i am unsure of their brand though. I am new to lockpicking. basically i just want to build my skill at lockpicking. what are some good locks that i can practice with and build my skill. i am using homemade picks. would a lock with security pins be to difficult for me or is that what i should look for. also is it hard to pick tubular locks pin by pin. thanks in advance for your input. pleaze reply.

Please use the search button. This has been covered more time than any mere mortal person can count..........
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!
