Which lock should I choose

Postby Jakasmrd » 11 Feb 2021 8:15

Hello,

I am a beginner in Lockpicking and I am wondering which lock should I choose. I heard that Masterlock is very good for beginners, but it's very hard to find Masterlocks here in central Europe so I went online to the hardware store website and found these padlocks. Which one do you recommend for beginners?

Hi and welcome to the forum. Which country are you specifically in, is it Slovenia? We have members all over the globe, so they can recommend a good brand that you can buy locally.

As far as posting picture using Imgur, the [image] command will not show a picture that is embedded inside a webite album. The URL link has to be to the exact picture file, and looks like this: In Chrome browser, you can Right-Click on the photo in your Imgur album, and choose "Copy Image Address" and then use this new link with the [image] command.

Thanks for your reply

I am from Slovenia. But it's very hard to find any information for me if lockpicks are legal in Slovenia. I went through all the laws and I just couldn't find anything. Since you have members all over the world I thought you could help me. I know lockpicks are illegal in Hungary but legal in other states in EU.
