Getting Your own Stuff
Lockpick tools and sets
- Make gift guide for locksport Make did a great guide on basic tools and where to buy them. What they recommend is pretty good.
Practice locks
- I highly recommend getting a kwikset deadbolt lock. They cost about $16 dollars at a lock hardware store. They're a nice
size, easy to open and a great practice lock. You might get more than one, that way you can take one apart and re-pin it however you like for practice
- If you've mastered the kwikset, a simple masterlock padlock is a good next lock to try. Also very cheap.
