Yes mate,replacements so no need to pick,2 seconds a lock to bust out,when your paying for brute force or finess,force is always the cheaper option,skill costs extra.

You can, but they give you a false sense of skill, they are far easier to pick than a working lock, they aren't like a real world scenario, I bought a few, picked them straight away.

I messed about with it for a bit, mostly on old padlocks and bits I had lying around. Some locks are surprisingly tricky even with proper tools. If you're stuck or want to learn more without damaging stuff, Vancouver Locksmith gave me a hand once with a jammed shed lock and showed me a few tricks while at it. Worth chatting with them if you're curious or need help.

I have lock picks a battery grinder and bolt crops but you can bin the lot and for around £30 just get a lishi lock pick you can buy a set to cover all locks but the 5 pin model will open about 90% of locks you can also make a new key with the info from one

I subbed for a housing association & had to help a few old folk get back in, the flat plastic & flat cable were soon learned. I got offered a job at HMP The Mount, carpenter & they would of sent me to Chubb for locksmith training, slight regret not going down the locksmith road but didnt want to be locked up all day myself!
