I wish there was a place for people to send random locks they break off or find to newbies like me. Buying a lock just to pick it feels insane, but I also want to feel that delicious click out of 1
Get a practice lock that you can re-pin. They're cool so you can see what it's like to have spools or serrated pins. I messed with one for a while and then was like "I wonder how much harder it would be to pick my front door lock instead of this cheap practice lock?" Turns out, the front door lock is ridiculously easy compared to a practice lock.
Yeeeaaaah... I've spent like literally 3 minutes learning to pick, and that's all you need to just scrape SO MANY front door locks. So many locks are just so bad
Go to those love-bridges where tourists buy and attach padlocks on it...
It's called "love picking" btw
Sadly they cleared the only one near me, before I knew about it or I'd have dumpster dived it
Wait a week!
You can check local locksmiths. Some might be willing to sell cheap junk locks that are still good for picking. Or buy a core that can be repinned.
I was outside a tiny locksmith store the other day and considered it! Social anxiety won the battle that day though. I'll try!
PM me if you're in the US I'll send some
Thank you for the kind offer, but I am a limey 🇬🇧
Ah darn. Well I'm sure you find some locally. Good luck!
Maybe look for a habitat for humanity ReStore?
We don't have those here, but charity shops are a good idea thanks
Try picking your front door… could be very instructive ;-)
