Practice Locks to BUY

Looking for locks to practice on?

Since we never practice on a lock that is "In-Service", these are the way to build skill.  

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 raisingthe 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
