Warded locks are cheap.
Each comes with 2 keys.
You can cut the warded keys to make warded picks.
Even buying a bunch of locks is cheaper than buying a set of
4 keys for $20-$40 from a locksmith/spy shop. (not inc. shipping)
Kroger has "Helping Hand" brand locks. Some come with 3 keys.
Helping hand is part of a plumbing company,
and it shows when you try picking them.
@ $2 ea. for warded padlocks. with 2 keys ea.
you need 2 locks for a total of $5 (im including tax here)
to get 4 keys.
@ $4 ea for other locks (2-3 keys ea.) buy 5 locks for $20
and get 10-15 keys that way you get enough different keyways too.
by spending the whole $40 and getting CHEAP locks @ $2
you can get 20 locks and 40-60 keys of lesser quality.
I found out KMart had a markdown bin the other day.... hahahaha
And yes, they had locks. ($4-$6 for a 2 pack)(some as cheap as $1.20)
Plus as an added bonus you get a lot more locks,
and even though they are cheap, you can sell em off with one key,
or keep them and try to get as many locks as Schuyler has.
...although warded locks dont make up the bulk of his collection.
