I read that PXS-14 is not made for EU locks. Slim type lockpicks are for Japan and EU locks, with slightly narrower keyways and whatnot. So that's why I bought those (were shipped today btw).

I am selling my PXS-14 and getting the c801 tomorrow I almost reverted to my DX set because the hooks on this one are so big.

There's 28 of 'em. I also have a starter set with like 10, it came with those practice locks. (I picked one for you guys )



My favorite tools outta the bunch.

Just thought I would leave this here

I got them! it took like a week to get here from UK. Picks feel very nice, small and flexible, feels professional
Also got a basic manual how to use them along with the set.



And this is how my simple lockpicking lab looks like, lol.

Well, here is my collection so far.
The old abus warded lock (black one) i can crack open.
The abus 85/50 with 4 spool pins i can open, currently working on getting it open faster and more structured.
The abus 65/40 has been a mystery to me so far, no false set no nothing so i think it might justs have some hard personality to it .
The little yale is more easy with 4 standard pins and i figured it's binding order (2, 1, 3, 4) so that's picked in a second or 5.

There is also a picture included with the pins from a lock i opened today, it's filled with serrated pins which are high security pins.

I know no one has replied to this in a while, but I just found this post and wanted to share this website to anyone else who stumbles upon this.

 I have played around with lock picking for quite sometime now, when I first started I was to cheap to buy a set so I looked up how to make them. If you have any old hacksaw blades lying around (or new) and a grinder you could print out these templates and make your own. The metal used in the blades is very strong and makes a nice beginner set. Of course once I knew I liked playing around with locks I bought a set, but these are nice just to get your feet wet (and it seems to have its own satisfaction of making something like this  ).

Was on hackaday, fits this thread so here is some paperclips to replace the picking sets you have lol.

Lolol, that's creative. Though I assume it won't last on most locks.

I'm interested in learning how to lock pick so I was wondering if anyone knows of a good set of starter picks(US) and a guide book/website.

Edit:
Lol great, now I feel like an idiot. Thanks Factionwars have a cookie.
