My Personal Lock Pick Set

[Arsenul]

Feel free to move this if it's in the wrong spot. But this is me describing what I'm going to get after September for my lock picking set. Now I'm new with this so if I'm picking the wrong things then let me know.

Bump Keys with rubber O rings so I don't have to keep resetting it and a bumping hammer.
Auto Jigglers
7 Pin Tubular Lock Pick
Hand Cuffs Shim and a handcuff key hidden in a zipper grip.
Mechanical Pick Gun (non electric)
Credit Card Size Lock Pick Set
Southord Padlock Shim Set
3 Different Lock Pick Sets

Once I have it all together I'll have a case made for them all and I'll be buying a solid door to place different door, car, garage, bike, and pad locks for practicing.

What exactly is your objective getting all that stuff and why wait to get it until you move in September? professional locksmith? professional burglar? Hardly any of that stuff has any place in the hobby picking world, they're all either gimmicky toys or professional tools used to make jobs go faster.

Save your money and skip everything on that list, and don't get 3 pick sets, just get 1 good pick set and practice a lot. Rely on your skill, not on gimmicky toys to get you into locks.

Well the main reason I want to learn lock picking is because I am a strong believer that the world will have some sort of apocalypse event in my life time. If I survive I want to be able to have the easy stuff to get in a place fast so I don't get hurt or killed. The other picks are for me trying to teach it to other people so that it doesn't die with me.

The reason why I have to wait till September is because all (and I mean all) my money goes towards the house payment. When I move into a apartment in September, I'll have extra money to buy different things that I need or would like to get like Lock Picks.

Hahaha! Impending zombie apocalypse? In that case a fireman's axe might be best. Not only can you open doors and windows with it, but you can decapitate the zombies too!

This is exactly what I would pack into my post-apocalyptic kit, providing of course that my plan was to infiltrate the zombies stronghold and I was worried about being captured and interrogated.

Bolt cutters and a fire axe will do all these will in an "apocalypse" scenario.

Skip the credit card pick set. In fact, skip almost all of that. Get ONE good pickset-- a simple one-- and learn how to pick a standard schlage and kwikset pin tumbler with them, and some easy padlocks. Once you do that (it might take a while), you will know more about what you actually want. It seems to me like you are being lured in here without too much experience and you could save a lot of money if you buy things as you need them instead of just trying to put together a 'complete' lockpick set before you really even know what a complete lockpick set it.

If I were starting over, Id get the Peterson masters pick set, and the full line of their tension tools (pry bar, serrated tension tools, and double prong), and the ultimate challenge practice lock with stand. If you master that lock in all its combinations you are well on your way. You dont need that tubular pick either, I pick tubular locks just fine with modified regular picks.

Good luck!

FOr me its just for fun. It is a hobby for me. I like messing around, bypassing, picking & getting around locks any way possible. Its fun. To "beat" a lock one way or another is why I do it. I am not a burglar. What's with all the hostility towards people who dont exactly fit into a certain category?

[Legion303]

Because bumping takes almost no skill. Proper lock bypass does require cleverness and skill. People who focus on the skill-less methods of getting into locks are viewed about the same as people who cheat in online games or script kiddies. It might be fun to try once or twice, but I wouldn't brag about it in the hobbyist world.

Hostility? It´s only reasonable suspicion when zombies try to infiltrate us...

I saw that ultimate practise lock and purchased one immediately.
I'll probably use something else for a cylinder vise, But for a newb training platform that lock looks like a pretty good setup for the price.
