Do these tubular lock picks work?

Postby jamesspworster » 24 Dec 2012 14:05

HI everyone,
I'm new to this site but have been lurking for a few weeks now.
I feel bad making my first post a question but I'm sure it'll be the start of a long term hobby of mine. :D
long story short do these lock pics actually work for tubulAr locks and what size is a standard lock? (such as on a fruit machine)
these are the picks I am talking about, http://www.universalbumpkeys.com/en/goso-7-pin-tubular-lock-pick-set.html
Thanks in advance guys, James :)

Most folks getting into hobby picking start with a pick set, not with specialty tools meant for one particular type of lock. Starting with vending locks is going to raise some red flags with us, as those locks contain money and product. What are your intentions with opening a fruit machine? are you a hobbyist, a locksmith, a maintenance man?

Thanks,
