I'm looking for a good common padlock that has no security tumblers or other gimmicks that would be good for practicing spp or raking. I bought a bought a brinks brass lock but this one has been a to open. I'm just looking for something that I could buy at like a walmart or an ace that will perform well as a training lock that I can bring with me and mess around with. Thanks!
Go to the store and buy a cheap deadbolt lock. They are better because you can take them apart and learn about them, also remove two or three of the pin stacks. That makes it easier to learn on.
I just went down to my local OSH(hardware store) and grabbed the cheapest "door lock" i could find.(it was a duraset if you care). it ran me something like $15 and it works great for disassembling, and SPP.
bottom line, find pretty much any low security lock(EG. no security pins) and you should be fine.
on a slightlly related note: , barbarian beat me too it
You can also check out the local thrift stores like I do, and maybe some of the locksmiths will give you stuff to work on thats n the junk pile. (I have got many pounds of badly made keys this way, which I recut for multiple usage.
