The most common is the 5g so go for that first with the smaller 7 g next,

If you can get an account with M.E.Duffells you will be able to buy the pick but it is usually stated locksmith only, you can all but try i guess,

HEY!!!!!!!!!! i made a curtain pick! thast right, 3 hours of my sunday was dedicated to filing down a key and bending some clothes hangers. BUt i got there in the end.

Managed to pick my first sash lock (opened) almost straight awway. I have noticed that tension is quite difficult to apply with these, so as the levers catch. But hell its fun!!!!!!!!!
