recommended lockpics for tiny luggage key locks?

[Antique key maker]

Could someone recommend me a link for a lockpick set for those tiny key locks. These are locks with a very small key. Lock size is less than an inch.

Thanks

Either buy some of the keys or make some. The are not that difficult. As for a pick, I used to fold a tiny teardrop shaped loop in the end of a paperclip.

Could you post a photo or link to the luggage locks? There are so many different locks around the world, it would be good to see which ones you are interested in picking.

Are you locked out of a piece of luggage? or based on your member name are you a locksmith who opens luggage for customers and makes them keys?

Thank you, and I see GWiens2001 snuck in right before I hit Submit. Thanks for those tips GW!

Your comments about pics of the locks are on point as well, Squelchtone.

Have you tried mini-picks?

Those are literally the best thing you can get for small keyways, and the well known locksmith friendly site billdeserthills linked to i his reply to your question has them for a much better price than the usual $65 bucks or more you see them for such as here: https://www.lockpicks.com/catalog/produ ... mall-case/

I purchased those lockpicks and they work great. I was able to quickly open those locks I showed in the picture, this without having picked a lock in many years.

just wondering, do you think these tiny lock picks would work for a normal sized keyway, or are they too small?
