Practice Locks for Lockpicking

So you've tried picking locks and you might as well be putting a fork in there. I get it—we were all there once. It’s never easy to learn lock picking. You’d really like to know what “serrated pins” or “spool pins” are or even a “bottom pin” and “top pin.” You think that actually seeing how real locks work with your own eyes, instead of through a picture or a video, might help you with your lock-picking skills.

You can with a practice lock! But here’s the thing—practice locks are also not available in hardware stores because they are clear locks. It would be hilarious for a hardware store to sell clear locks. It’s like saying to a thief, “Hey, just barge in while we’re asleep.” 

But your interest about locks must not go to waste. Here at LockPickWorld, we have what you won’t find anywhere else. We have confidence-building, warm-feeling, super-duper clear practice locks.

Let's level up those lock-picking skills!

Here's our seven-pin clear practice lock with spool pins, complete with keys so you can see how the keys and picks work when in the lock.

Practice locks are a great how-to device for lock pickers to learn and improve their lock-picking technique. Give your lock picking some vision and realize your potential—you'll be picking locks in no time with our practice aid.

Is Lockpicking Legal?

Lockpicking is a commonly misunderstood activity. People often associate lock picking with theft and other crimes. But at its foundation, lock picks are harmless tools.

The illegality of its use only arises if the user—which is you, by the way—has malicious intent. If you intend to use lock picks to break into somebody's house, that's illegal. If you want to use it as a learning activity, then you violate no law. The mere existence of these tools doesn’t equate to crime.

Thus, if the “legality” of lock pick use concerns you, then here's a 101 percent assurance that it is legally allowed in the United States as long as it is for recreational or educational use.

Why Should I Buy Practice Locks?

Now that you're comfortable with the legality of lock picks, your next question must be the heading of this section. Below are the possible reasons why you need to buy lock-picking practice locks:

Features

Our lock picks and practice lock set intend to show you how locks operate. But wait, how can someone practice lock picking with regular locks?

Even with the right tools, professional locksmiths still take a long time to defeat padlocks. That's why our practice lock set includes the following:

• Transparent and clear practice lock casing allows learners to see how all the moving parts—your picks, the spool pins, the keys—work.
• Lock pickers can see the visible movement of the spool pins when a key is inserted in the lock and turned.
• Visible up-and-down pin motions as the key slides into and out of the practice lock.
• Allows all levels to visualize the action of each lock pick inside a normal lock.
• Perfect practical companion to our free eBook with each lockpick set order to give learners a theoretical guide on how to practice lockpicking and how the tools work.
• Each practice lock works perfectly as a fully functional normal padlock even if it’s just for practice.

Aside from those mentioned above, a clear practice padlock can help you visualize the lock's inner mechanisms. Of course, there will come a time when you'll test yourself in picking regular padlocks.

And to add to that, these are not clear anymore. Thus, with a clear practice lock, take time to develop a mental image of the practice padlock. Then, incorporate different stimuli like the sound and feel of the tools as they touch the pins of the practice padlock.

Once you've acquired a mental image of the clear lock, you are ready to pick a regular lock. Then maybe you can learn how to pick tubular locks, the boss level of lock picking! 

Or you'll go back to a clear lock from time to time, and that's okay. Use the clear lock as a guide to master this art.
