Was at game night and someone else was there with one of the c type storage unit locks and some picks playing with it. Took him about 10 minutes to pick it. I asked if I could try. Had it open in less than 2 minutes. He was surprised as I haven't ever tried doing it before.

I've been picking locks since junior high school. It's a useful skill to have in my line of work(customers losing or forgetting to bring keys for a bike they left for service). I made good money in high school hanging out at a friend's tattoo shop next door to a bar and opening cars when people locked their keys in their cars and discovered that at closing time. I mostly use homemade tools but I have a couple of sets of commercial tools, along with some inexpensive tubular picks and jigglers. The practice locks are great for being able to visualize the process but once you develop a bit of feel, they quickly lose their challenge.

I pick locks all the time its a fun hobby and no I do not do it for criminal purposes. I have a quick pick that can get me into anything for the most part basic locks. However the lock picking lawyer on youtube blows my mind he can do things I cant even come close too.

Lockpickinglawyers youtube videos are great, he goes in to how different brands and locking mechanisms work and how they can be picked.

Didn't see it mentioned, but I like Southord for lock picking tools...

For learning, you may want to look at this set:

Recently picked up a set of their new high-yield pics, which feel really nice but haven't had a chance to use much yet:

One of my favorite sets was an older version of this one...

Lasted for years before some dipshit room-temp-IQ TSA agent shaped like a beach-ball with legs insisted that she needed to personally close it up before returning it, and broke it in the process (sent the tensioner flying across the screening area at DIA, picks flew everywhere, all she wrote on that one...)

Lucky she did not decide you were in possession of burglary tools and really screw up your trip.
