Ok Im just interested in trying things out. I want the power that I know I can pick locks just like that. So I have this big file on it that I bought from ebay for 5 bucks and I wanted to know where I can get a cheep see through lock. Anyone have one for sale? Can lock smith's make one for you? Is the easy raker really good for beginners? It's the one with blue on the site picture. Thank you.

{edited by Varjeal: well....at least there's no swearing and it's actually in the right forum....please read site rules in the FAQ section before further posting. Thanks. :) }

Probobly not the most well-spent $5, things like that sold on ebay are usually just a compilation of things found for free online.

No such thing. Cut away locks are usually quite expensive.

Yes they *can,* but they likely won't and if they do offer it will be priced so high your better off buying three commercial cut away locks.

That's one of the worst picks you can buy, it's more for show and the "spy" effect than anything, probobly not a good pick for a beginner. Or anyone for that matter.

Not a good idea to ask people to emali you- it's against forum rules.

oh drat I cant edit it. I was thinking of getting the Level 1 lock pick cut away with regular bolts. Once I find what kind of picks to use what tool can I use to acatually turn the lock once it's been picked?
