I've picked my first lock, where do I get more?
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....
I did it!
I picked my first lock today. It was a cylinder from a Yale deadbolt that I lost the keys to. I’m so pumped. I sat there for over an hour and finally watched a video to learn the pins are little pistons in Yales. I modified the pressure and approach and bam. It just clicked. Cylinder is now repinned to match my current Yale...

Current state of my Lockport journey (lemmy.ml)
Almost all of my own padlocks have been picked, save for just two, the ABUS 64TI/40 and the Master lock LOTO. Still relatively new to the tubular lock game, so the yellow Urban bike disk brake lock as also eluded me....
Antique store find. $15 (lemmy.world)
Looked inside and I think it’s only missing a little pin or “key” to stop part of it from over tightening. Will post another picture of what I mean.
Sorry for multiple posts for the same thing. (lemmy.world)
This is the part that I mentioned in the previous post.

Unlocked Sparrows Standard Cutaway Lock (imgchest.com)
This lock is a bit interesting. I keep trying to replicate the same process I took to unlock it and I guess you just push the tension wrench slightly as lots of tension didn’t seem to affect it, and just continue picking it even if it goes down. It’s a bit annoying if I’m gonna be honest here. The pins keep coming back...
A Noob's Request For Guidance
Hello lockpickers, one of my friends bought a Covert Intruments Genesis set recently and I decided to play with it. Turns out I very much enjoyed it and managed to pick the beginner clear lock in 7 seconds after a couple days. So I did some research to find out what to buy for myself to get started on this journey....

This was a very fun pick! Red belt lock.
locks I've been practicing with. Inconsistent on the middle one, and have only been able to open the right one once. (lemmy.world)
Any tips on getting more consistent, and fitting both wrench and pick into tighter keyholes? Or is the latter just a matter of getting a more diverse set of wrenches and picks?
