Has anyone from the uk used these computer generated picks or are they for the us market ? I have seen them in lots of locksmith supplier catalogues but the price has always put me off, please post your opinion uk users (i hate wasting money)

If you (Romstar) could find any templates, is there a chance you could send them to me via PM.
Greatly appreciated
Dan
I have made mistakes, but never made the mistake of claiming i never made one!

If they turn up, I will post them here, and that way you can get them properly.

I made a few computer picks copied from the hpc set, and i could open most locks within seconds, i generally use these when i need to open a lock quick.

just an fyi, i contacted lockpicks.com and they replied with a price of around 63.00 for the hpc computer pick set.  I am tapped out big time right now so I will be buying a set in the near future.

Barrett from lockpicks.com is just amazing that man can get just about any tool you want for a very good price.

Hmmm..... I may have to get a set of these. They may end like my pickgun(somewhere in bottom drawer), but when I eventually start doing locksmith work they may come in quite handy.

I asked Barrett from lockpicks.com about the 16 piece majestic and they can get that too. Price may vary though.

If somebody has the picks themselves, it'd be easy enough to plop them on a scanner with a ruler for reference.
This self referential signature is pleased that you took the time to read it.
This sentence, however, feels left out.

Ordered from that company on thursday, they shipped on friday. Tommorow will be the fifth day of delivery UPS. Not very quick service is it  . Im used to getting orders from lockpicks.com in exactly 3 days.
gawd I hate waiting for my picks to come in the mail.

I was following the thread and I hope I'm asking the right question here, you need templates for the double-sides? I used the picture from Southord and adjusted the size using my photo editor.

Shipped day after order.... hmm... sounds like excellent service from your vendor. Perhaps lockpicks.com is not to blame.
Maybe consider... bucking up for the next day or second day air freight next time as UPS tends to gets real responsive when you pay for expedited service.

Yea its uUPS they suck on the ground delivery. As for templates...they are available on HPC's website
http://www.hpcworld.com/lockhpc/p_comp1.htm
They posted temp;ates of the computer picks. I tried to make some using templates but after using them decided that HPC deserved some money. I wonder what romstar charges for tools..
