just use a safty deposit box....my parents used to have one that was fun to practice on and i once took one outta my moms desk...they are pretty easy and i can usually get it with just a rake and a jiggle and 20lbs of tension...all around pretty fun locks to play with and reletivly common...ive actually seen "case locks" for like jewlry cases or somthing like that at the hardware store for about 15 bucks. my favorite locks in consideration that they are the easiest =D happy picking
