Hey lockpickers. I posted this in the discussion of a different drop, but figured I'd cross post it here since this drop is new/active. I bought a 20 piece set on a lark figuring I could tinker and learn something new so I'm obviously not a pro or even aspiring pro.
Any advice for good locks to practice on? I've seen clear "cutaway" locks on Amazon and even this "Lockpick School In A Box": http://www.makershed.com/products/lockpick-school-in-a-box but that seems like a lot since I'm just starting out and it comes with picks which I already have.
Thanks in advance for any hot lockpick practice tips you have.

edcaseySomething like this https://learnlockpicking.com/product/5-pin-ultimate-practice-lock-2/ might be good to get you started. They have a few more complex ones if you want to throw some more money at it. The higher you go now the less you may spend in the future if you want to practice security pins.

edcaseyLockpick school in a box is good for beginners but its very limited and most of the locks are pretty easy to pick so besides getting your confidence up and allowing you to get a feel for picking it wont be helpful once you move to more advanced locks

edcaseyMy only advice is never pick the same lock twice in a row, you start to memorize the order that the binds in. Meaning you aren't learning how to pick locks you're learning how to pick A lock
