I'm not that sure about what locks are available in the UK.....someone from their will probably have a better answer. I would recommend a couple cheap made in china standard 4 pin and tumbler padlocks. The cheaper they are the better. The other lock I would recommend is a Master lock number 3. The number 3 is a great starter lock because the key way is maneuverable and it is very low security. Also you might want to try using the search function to find some answers.

I think the most useful thing would be to go the store and get the most common padlocks of the type of lock you want to pick you see in practice. Those are most likely easy to pick, cheap, and relevant for learning.

Many locks from the same manufacturing have the same cylinder, so there is little difference in picking them, such as the Master Lock #3 versus #1 or #5. It is the same lock cylinder in a different sized body with a different shackle.
