I’ve picked a master lock (3 I believe). I also picked all the little cylinders that came with the lockpicks I ordered. Sparrow progressive. I even respinned one… Mostly due to accident.
Where do I get more locks? I think I just need the cylinders. What are these called? Where do I buy them from? I’m mostly looking for cheap and they don’t have to have a practical purpose. I’m just wanting to pick them for kicks.
Ah well I’m definitely not talking about 3rd Gen then, some of mine rake open and most will open with a snap gun. I just picked up the cheapest kwiksets in home Depot so I could get rid of the mismatched handles in my apartment. They’re easy to re-pin and pick (most of them, I still struggle with one of the 2 spooled ones) and as a beginner it’s nice to have a few I can become familiar with.
Edit: it looks like first Gen is still smartkey so I guess I’m talking about before even that. Just a regular non-smartkey lock. Maybe it’s easier to find non-smartkey kwikset keyways in the budget brands - all the landlords buy home Depot’s defiant brand so that’s what I was looking at to get matching knobs for my place. I don’t think I’ve seen a defiant with smartkey.
