I'm currently building a rack from scratch, I currently only own 4 locking biners. Is one set of 6 enough or should I get two sets?

DanDaMan919Sounds like you may need a little more time & experience before you start spending a lot on gear. I'd recommend going out with an experienced, knowledgeable trad climber (eg someone with a large rack & many gear types, who has placed them all many times) on a regular basis and learning what pieces you typically need for the areas you're likely to climb, and she how she racks them. That will guide how many 'binders you need. I'd also recommend only using these for cams; I like pairing these with my C4's for the color-coding, easy to see what's on my harness on a lead and know which piece I'm grabbing. As I have a double rack through 3's (triples in 2's & 3's) I use a second setso they all get coded. Then I use 2 more sets for my C3's and equivalent-sized Metolius and Aliens cams. And I probably need 3 more sets and matching cams to round out my Creek rack. So the question you asked really can't be answered by anyone but you, once you know what gear you want and will use regularly.
