Hey so it's my first post after lurking around deciding which pickset to buy for my first set.
I picked up http://www.dealextreme.com/p/advanced-9 ... icks-16417 and should be getting it in a week or so.
Now I was just wondering what would be some nice simple locks I could pick up at Wal-Mart or Home Hardware or somewhere online for cheap.
Any help would be great. Thank you :)

Everyone who eats potatoes eventually dies. Therefore potatoes are poisonous.

Search around... there are a lot of good threads that offer advice on this:

Folks here are more than happy to help (and, by the way, welcome!)... but take some time to read through the threads here: there's lots of good information and advice that people have contributed over the years. Some of those "what's a good starter lock" threads that I linked to, above, are from just a few days ago: if you had scrolled down a few lines (or did a quick Google search), you would have found them, right below your post. :wink:
