Best Pick Camlock

Ssshhh if he hears you he might come back,

Blankcheck, what locks are you trying to pick? as in what specific locks as in your neighbours mail box etc?

I purchased 12 sets of brand new mailboxes at a junk auction here in Chicago for a couple hundred bucks. They retail for about $100 each. The only problem is non of them come with keys. I now know it was a mistake, because after all is said and done - it's just not worth it. Anyways, I was told the are Bommer locks. I would like to open and replace all the locks, so I can give the new owner a mailbox plus a new set of keys. Normally, the post office has to install a lock - which would mean that I could simply open the top, but that's not the case here. This is how I should have asked my question in the first place, sorry about that. I believe my question has already been answered, but anything else would be helpful. This has turned into quite a long thread....

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but this company makes mailbox locks to suit most of the US post boxes. I think they cost about $5-$6 each

Thank you very much for taking the time to show me those links. I was actually asking for the best technique to open the mailboxes (?) I assumed picking them would be the way to go, but maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks
