or

or
http://www.lockpickshop.com/p-Lockpick- ... -plus.html
and
http://www.lockpickshop.com/p-5PPC-RH.html

that should sort you for now.

Now, next time, can you post a more informative title, fill in your profile so we know where you're from, and generally tell us a bit more about yourself.

OK, just go to locksmith-tools and scroll down, on the left hand side, and there is a section on training locks, or something like that.

Or try http://www.lockpicks.com; they have those see-through cutaway practice locks. Cost about 45 USD, I think.

To be honest you would be better buying a real lock and re-pinning it to less pins for practice,

Clear locks help you understand how a lock works but for picking i beleive they can be a negative tool and actually hinder learning to pick,

I agree with Shrub, just go and buy a $2 padlock at a gas station if you want an easy lock to learn on. I have a 7 pin generic padlock I always start n00bs with. I don't tell them that it has more pins than usual until after they pick it. Remember, more pins doesn't necessarily mean harder to open, this lock in particular is the easiest one I have. It's broken many a n00bs cherry in less than 10 mins.

However, I do appreciate cutaway locks as fun to look at and collect. I always recommend looking on the used market for nice cutaways.

I usually give noobs a Mult-T-Lock to begin with, but only because I'm mean and rotten :twisted:

The guy is definitely Dutch, probably Amsterdam or Rotterdam :?

Before you pick a lock:
The first thing that you should do is check to make sure that
the lock is your's and secondly make sure its not in use.
