Go to the FAQ Section, and browse the Sticky threads there, and you'll find a wealth of information on lockpicks. I personally would reccommend SouthOrd or Peterson (I just ordered a new set of Petersons....) Look for "The MIT Guide", it's pretty cost effective means of education. Also, Guitar_J wrote a really good "advice manual" on lockpicking not too long ago.
