Hi, I am going on vacation to orlando florida for two weeks.As to I am Canadian, it is quite hard to get lockpicks in Canada, so I plan on picking up a set or too while I'm on vacation.Does anyone know of any stores down there that sell lockpicks.Thanks in advance.

You will not find stores that sell lockpicks. Except for a "spy shop" store, but you'll spend twice as much as they're worth.

Our other Canadian members seem to have little trouble ordering lockpicks online.

Pleese fill out your profile so we know where you are. I have ordered to sets one from lockpicks.com and one from lockpickshop with no problems.

It is easy enough to order from Canada, I have ordered from lockpickshop.com.... no problem. As well I ordered from UK, and got my order in 4 days.
I would suggest lockpickshop.com as they seem to do a fair bit of Canadian business.

yeah, i have been to florida, although i wasnt into picking then, so i wasnt looking for anything of the sort.

i used to live down in california, outside san francisco, and i went down to fishermans wharf a coupla times, and there is a spy shop down there, and they sell all sorts of cool things that no one needs. guns, pellet (or bb) guns, laser things, sun glasses with mirrors in them, gags and pranks, and i saw lockpicking books for sure, but i didnt see or ask about lockpicks themselves. i still hadnt been into picking yet at that time.

spy shops are cool though, i always check them out for everything when i see one, just because they're so cool.

and really, just order picks to canada, its easier, and plus: if you do manage to get a hold of any picks in florida, do you know the laws pertaining to lockpicks in florida? that's a bit important. as well as considering how you are travelling. i am assuming by plane? if so, airport security may ask questions. additionally, since you are flying back to canada, customs is something to deal with right? (i could be wrong there) so you need to think about those things before buying any that you might find.

just my opinion on that.
