Tom_6574If someone is breaking into your home it is doubtful they would use a lock pick. It is faster and easier to just kick a back door or window in. Why would a thief care about the damage to your property?
Tom_6574As someone who lockpicks for a hobby, I would never see someone lockpicking for criminal intent to steal from someones home. It is so much easier to shim the lock with something like a crowbar, bypass the lock by drilling the lock or even easier a brick through a window. Alot easier and quicker.
Why does Massdrop have so many of these trash "lockpicking" kits
Also, like I have said before you can buy tons of real practice locks on ebay for cents each
SCIFIcrabYeah, I miss the community sourcing and getting custom builds of things that the mfg wouldn't normally run, but I get that they make more money as a more traditional retailer, particularly of boutique stuff sold to people who don't know what "bespoke" means.
I really don’t understand « the world of lockpicking » as a hobby, and I’m a pretty liberal guy with several hobbies under the belt. I guess this is seen as elaborate puzzles? But to be honest, it’s also a way for would-be thieves to train, right?
I find its fun if you treat them like small puzzles. It's a combination of a dexterity test, 3d projection and visualization, and general problem solving. I don't know a lot of criminals that use lockpicks, most of them don't mind the destructive entry path (ie drill out the lock or using bolt cutters to cut through the shackles)
Got deep pockets? This will help anyone who wants a beginners understanding of one of the hundreds of common lock types, sometimes used in the US, for very low security.
I purchased the previous drop CyclopsPlus Lockpicking Practice Kit, does the vendor sell the progressive locks in Canada, if so where can I find them? I did find a site that sell this set of locks but they don't mail it to Canada, but interestingly this kit can be ship to Canada.
SAB1971try Sparrows Lockpicks https://www.sparrowslockpicks.ca/ - they have a set of progressive locks, as well as "the revolver" which is 4 locks in one body for practice. Grab the "refill" repining kit as well for many more practice sessions.
"At checkout, choose between Kwikset and Schlage keyway."
The description mentions that the Kwikset is easier to start with than the Schlage, but that seems like an oversimplification. What are these and what are the differences here? I can see they're two different companies, but are they completely different to pick? Is one more common than the other?
Assuming these are KW1 and SC1 keyways, and pinned within manufacturer MACS, both have pretty standard warding. Yes, the KW1 keyway is more open, but as Kwicksets are made to looser tolerances (makes them less reliable in picking behavior), and very few non-Smartkey locks are made by Kwickset anymore their utility as practice locks is much lower.
If the Schlage's are J's or L's they're significantly harder to work in.
ZenonIt depends on the core, how they're pinned, the quality of the pins used, and which keyway they are (really more for the Schlage than the Kwikset)
You can get all of the useful parts for this cheaper. If you want to spend the money, get the Schlage, but I can't recommend it.
