I got my 14 piece lock pick set today and was wondering what a good lock to start on would be. Thanks.

after you get the hang of the kwikset move on to a schlage. They will be more challenging due to better craftsmanship and security pins.

Kwikset is not a padlock.. (atleast in my knowledge) Re-pinning a lock means that u take it apart and move the pins in different order, or put new pins in it etc.. Search..
