# Practice Locks to BUY #### Looking for locks to practice on? These are some great ways to build skill without accidentally locking ourselves out, or worse. We never practice on a lock that is "In-Use" like my desk drawer, because over time our picking efforts can damage the lock, thereby making the correct key not work any longer. #### Training Locks Special Training Locks are available in many configurations such as See-Through, Cut-A-Way, Easily Re-Pinnable, Many-In-One, as progressive sets, etc. See-Through and Cut-A-Way locks can be useful as a first step, though we usually outgrow them quickly unless they are also Easily Re-Pinable. Re-Pinable locks and progressive sets allow the owner to raise the difficulty as their skills improve, and the Many-In-One locks might keep us from getting bored too easily as skills mature. *My only real advice is that if something is made of acrylic...don't drop it!!!* All of these companies make great training gear, so personal preference is the name of the game...
