Try ironmongery direct.

Again, not much of a selection but quite cheap.

What sort of money do screwfix want?

get an account with aldridge etc. ring them and they will tell you what you need, if you cant get an account, then make friends with a local lockie. he will sell you locks, maybe at a slight discount.

If its just old locks you want for picking again see a lockie, if your nice he will give you some old locks, we get loads we chuck away.

I agree with parapilot.

Get to know a lockie and ask him for his old locks, if they're in a good mood, prob cut you a couple of keys for them, perfect for repo's.

It sounds like you need to get yourself a full set of bump keys.

from what i understand, a set of good rakes like bogotas can open most anything pretty fast but if you want to be really effective and open any lock get good at spp. that is what i understand so far, experts correct me if im wrong.
