My first attempt at bump keys

Also, I have found that your skills will atrophy if you don't use them. I got real good with kwikset and moved on to other locks and Brinks shrouded and then picked up my kwikset after several months of not picking it and it took a lot longer to get the feel. I did get it but realized that just because you get good don’t neglect practicing on the easy locks.

I doupt you'd need any more lock picks, (i bought a 9 peice slimline and use only 2 picks regularly) but if intent on buying things maybe a new type (new brand, or home made) of lock pick might be worth a go. I don't like the look of the clear plastic locks and am personaly steering clear of them, learning by feel rather than sight will likely be more useful to you.
