Do any stores sell lock picking sets? I mean stores like Walmart, Shopko, Menards, Gander Mnt?

Question

I wish to use them to pick my own master lock combination locks. I'm well aware of the pop can method, but I can't get that to work. I also used to use the numbers method where there are 100 possibilities but that took me too long.

Answer 1

Opening COMBINATION locks with lock-picks ?? That isn't what you need...

Also, in MOST States, it is illegal to carry lock-picks unless you're a lock-smith or detective.

I smell cheesy childish criminal behavior here.

Answer 2

try the internet. you can find anything online.

Answer 3

You are unlikely to find a set in California, as they are considered burglary tools under California law.  I do not know how other states treat them.  Taking a hammer to your locks to get them off and then buying a new lock might be cheaper than legal fees...

Answer 4

1. Lock picks are NOT used on combination locks.

2. In many places, possession alone is a criminal offense unless you are a licensed locksmith. (You state they are legal in your area, OK)

3. These are 'specialized' tools and not likely to be found in a 'discount' store.

You might try to convince a locksmith in your area to get you a set since you say they are legal.

Answer 5

you might not find the best quality, those type of things are usually spy toys for little kids. However if you go to a hardware store they might sell something like it
