FAQ
Lock picking questions before you order
The questions we get most from first-time buyers.
Is it legal to buy lock picks in my country?
Owning lock picks for hobby use is legal in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Poland, Czechia and the Nordic countries; the UK restricts carrying them in public. We only ship where the hobby is legal — see legality by country.
Do I need a practice lock with a lock pick set?
Yes if you are a beginner. A transparent padlock lets you see the pins set while you feel it — the fastest way to learn. Most of our kits include one.
How long does shipping take?
Orders ship with tracking and arrive in 7 to 14 days across the EU, Norway, Switzerland and the UK. You receive the tracking link by email.
Which belt level is this product?
Every practice lock and kit page has a Belt level section in the description. White belt means any beginner can open it; yellow and above need single pin picking. Full ladder: belt ranking.
