IS this a good lock to start out on?

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

Really what i'm saying is that i can open this lock really fast and i want to know if it is too easy and what lock should i try next.

I'm new to this hobby and I enjoy it. Great site and topics btw.

Buy a standard (not smartkey) Kwikset deadbolt with security pins. It will be easy to repin and challenging to pick, for a little while, at least.

Kwikset does not use security pins, you will need to buy them separately.

Orly? Far out. If they don't then the misc. brands that use KW1 keyway do, should be available at most hardware stores. I bought a kw1 deadbolt a long time ago that had a spool pin in it, but don't have the box to remember what brand it was, specifically.

some of the newer kwikset deadbolts have spools, usually the 6pin ones, as i tore apart a 6pin kw deadbolt and it had 3 spools and 3 regular pins.
we all try our hardest at what we do, it's the great ones that understand its not what you do, it's how you do it and accomplish it and embrace there strength despite anyone's opposition.
