good easy lock for practice for beginers

[grandtheftsmurf]

the brand "SECURITY" their pad locks are very easy most of them are two and three pinned..... when i started out every book i read told me to buy a lock and take out all but one pin well for me and probably most startin' outters this was a complicated task so i recommend using SECURITY padlocks because their just really easy sorry if this was kinda off im new to this forum and really know how it works yet..,..... hope this helps

Welcome to lp101 mate! Looks like your that one out of ten who actually read before asking . Good thing you found your starting brand. There will be plenty of info about locks that you can advance with.

that user name is not gonna get you far here, maybe theres another site that encourages grandtheft. If I knew one I'd give you the link and you could join your group.

Not at all .........just take a dremel to the pins that holds a pad lock together......then a few wacks with a hammer and it should come apart. Quite fun actually

I often wondered why some folks thought that using padlocks was a poor idea...I actually have to deal with them vocationally, so I had a real interest in practice picking them (@ work we just use a gun and be done with it). So actually I really work with them quite a bit. I especially enjoy the higher end Master and American (re-key style). But the point was made that with a nice simple lock like a residential Kwikset, the key-way is wide, the pins are straight and simple to locate / feel, you can find some with similar height pins or "high-low" configurations, and the thing is cheap.

When I was having trouble after not having picked for a few years I made a simple board with locks of increasing difficulty on the suggestion of a member here and I still use it while watching TV as a means to warm-up for the joy of a Master 9630. That lock board is like stretching before a run, etc.
