I'm new to lock picking and don't know what I should do? Should I make my own picks or buy a set off a web site?

*sigh* buy some cheap southord picks. the 11 (or there abouts) piece slimline set should do you fine.

But first you need to read all the stickies. they will answer any questions you will have right now.

all the best

no problem dude, just we get a few of these most days. don't ever be scared to ask but do have a look around before u ask. this place has been going for a few years now so anything you can think of asking when you first start ill have been asked unless ur asking about specific locks.

all the best

^^ What he said. I have the Southord set (got i from Cheaper than dirt). They're a good set to learn on. Not too pricey, but not too "cheap" (as in, poor quality), either.
