Checklist For Lockpick Sets

Set Design
  • The classic lockpick set is suitable for opening so-called buntbart locks. These are locks with a typical keyhole, as they are still used today for room doors. Lock picks in these sets are correspondingly solid and have a beard similar to the keys. They are also called lock picks.
  • The second type are lockpicking sets. These sets are used to open cylinder locks on apartment doors, front doors and padlocks. The lock picks in these sets are very slim so that they can be inserted into the cylinder lock. Their thickness is usually only a few 1/10 millimeter.
Combined Manual And Electric Lock Picks
  • Very convenient are lockpick sets that contain both a set of lockpicks used with hands and an electric drive, for which special lockpicks are included in the set.
  • In addition to these machine lock picks, two attachments for the electric drive are usually included, so you can use it both to drive the lock picks and as a drill.
Material
  • In order for the lock picks not to break off in the lock, the material must meet two requirements. It must be hard and tough at the same time. Therefore, high-quality lockpick sets are usually made of tempered steels.
  • An exception can be the classic lock picks, whose material does not have to meet such requirements.
Handles
  • The handle of simple lock picks is the round or flat bar, at the end of which the tool is located. More comfortable are lock picks with a plastic or rubber handle. Lock picks with a handle can usually be used more precisely and, if necessary, can be turned a little more forcefully.
Set Content
  • Lockpick sets for buntbart locks contain about 10 to 15 tools. So you are prepared for all tasks. Lockpicking sets often contain 13 tools.
  • It is important that the set contains various basic tools such as a tensioner, a hook, a half diamond, a drop diamond, a snake, a snowman and an extractor.
  • Comprehensive lockpick sets come with up to 28 tools and other accessories.
