What about cases?

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

Me? Haha

Thanks, but I'm really not handy at making handmade stuff. Only a couple of wrenches and some improvised tools (not picks) to finish the work on hands...
Go ahead, keep plugging away, picking on me! You will end up on bypass or with rigor mortise.

Reading this forum i feel ashamed that i just use 2 pencil cases. 1 for what i'm using now. And 1 for old attempts. Partial mades and other stuff and the like. I shall have to try harder.
...like the pickwikle. reminds me very much of sherlock holmes starring robert downey jr.
...like the modular roll using Velcro.
...like schylers tool rolls. Different Colors for different purposes. Obvious but only once you think about it. Much easier to identify than a written label.
...well done to one and all who have made. Have had made or customised their cases to better suit their purposes. Each and every one of you. Has today inspired me.

I'm still using the cases my pick sets came with.

I may never understand the single pocket in the zippered leather case that comes with the Southord PXS-14 set, but it's much classier looking than the blue nylon/velcro case that came with my $4.95 pick sets (yes sets, I bought a bunch of them since shipping was $5)

I'm hoping to meet with a very talented seamstress, who I met through work, to commission a custom tool roll-style pick case. After seeing her work (she replaced the zip in a goretex coat for me), I have little doubt it will be great. I'm just getting fed up of having Southord pick cases here and there, with homebrew picks in Ziploc bags.
[One day, I'm going to apply for the Advanced section, just to see if I get accepted....]

I added a magnetic latch too!

Your thoughts?


I like the idea

Hi, what do you think about my lock picking case, I posted this else where on the site and someone kindly directed me to this post.

I would be very interested in seeing your Lock pick cases, also if any one has ideas to make them even better please post or contact me.

If you are still looking for something I might be able to set you up.
