New to lockpicking and...

[Pwncaker]

I was wondering if there were any practice set's of locks that you can buy online. My friend told me he found some but lost it. I've only picked a Master Lock #3 and some door lock. I need to expand my verity of locks and such. If anyone could help me with this please do.

Hello and to the forums

I think the practice locks you are referring to are called "cutaways"

Cutaway cylinders can be purchased from the Southern Ordinance (SouthOrd) link below..

Have you got a set off picks? you can make your own but it takes time and skill..

Hope this helps

Yeah I have Southord 8 piece set. Guess I didn't look around there for cutaways. Also, thanks.

have a look in the buy/sell/trade section, there are a few members that sell them on here before they stick them on ebay. hand made and they usualy throw in spare pins for repining.

that little volume called the keys to tubular locks, if its the same book I once owned years ago, has patent diagrams of the ace lock, and also I believe may mention the van lock or the nixpix lock, does anyone have this book and can confirm this?

Ok thanks JackNco.
