I would have to agree,
that Lock-Picking-Kit-2 is to high of a price. you would be better starting with just a small pick set and picking the locks you have around your home.

instead of spending loads of money on set why don't you make your own it's not that hard and you can gat all the templates you would ever want, then you can spend a small amount on some locks to practice on :wink:

I gotta put my two cents in for Peterson Picks - they're inexpensive and the best picks I have ever used to boot.

I will agree with this statement for most locks you will run into in the US.
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!
