The Kronos Lock Pick Gun - the Buyers Guide
The Kronos Lock Pick Gun:
I have been lock picking for over a decade now - and this is one of the best lock picking guns I've used in years - and I've tried a lot of them. Read on to learn why!
Let's quickly touch on the basics first. Most of our customers - handymen and locksmiths amongst them - want a sturdy, reliable tool to unlock locked doors quickly, and they aren't always in an environment where they can patiently pick open a lock.
You can learn how to pick a lock on our website - we have a stack of guides available for all levels of lock picker - but an official Kronos Electric Pick Gun demonstrates the excellence of German manufacturing through its utility in everyday situations.
We'll go through the whole unboxing process so you know what to expect from your package on delivery, and we'll quickly demonstrate how to use the Kronos to pick a lock as well as listing the pros and cons of this great device.
Essentially, if need to open locks for whatever reason - we often recommend a top lock pick set from our store and an electric pick gun. This allows for versatility and brute force when tackling a difficult lock. There is often more than one way to solve a locked problem!
1. Best Lock Pick Sets - The Lokko Complete Beginners Boxed Set
If you’re totally new to lock picking, the choices can be daunting. We recommend this particular set all the time to most newcomers because it has everything you need to get started and gets you educated about picking and opening locks in under an hour!
The Lokko lock pick set box contains an instructional ebook guide (which you can upgrade to a real book if you prefer flipping through paper), clear, transparent practice locks, normal lock picks with comfortable handles and a set of spy credit card covert picks in a great looking boxed set – everything you need to challenge yourself and deal with those locks immediately.
Keep it yourself, or this is great as a gift for your guy (or girl!). As unusual gifts go - this is up there, and it's perfect for anyone that loves experiences over just things.
Perfect for any occasion and extra savings if you buy more than one pack. Buying two saves you $50. Basically buy one, get one 50% off!
We like to say that lock picking is practical brain training. The challenge of learning how things work, how to take them apart and how to put them back together - the mechanism behind locks and how they work just intrigues me no end - just like a real world puzzle that you can tinker with while you're doing other things. Each new lock is a new puzzle.
I enjoy how it improves my manual dexterity and allows me to think through the locking pins problem at the same time. It's such a fantastic skill to have, and it keeps getting better.
Once you have the boxed set in your hands, you'll see exactly what I mean once you pop open your first lock without a key. Instant euphoria and great sense of achievement!
You'll also learn why real locks get jammed, how your keys get stuck in them, why older locks are annoying, and it'll get you thinking about lock mechanisms for days. And once you're finished with the practice lock - you'll be hungry for more lock challenges. You'll see all locks in a completely different way, as something to understand, and overcome!

3. Best Lock Pick Sets - Dangerfield Serenity Lock Pick Set
One of the most frequent questions we are asked is “What’s the best set for a beginner?” I finally answered that question for the last time by designing the Serenity set. An introductory lock pick set needs to be punchy, compact, no-nonsense and high quality.
But more – I wanted to make a beginner lock pick set that didn’t need to be replaced, one that would last well into the future. There’s no reason a starter set needs a shelf-life. The Serenity lock pick set offers an affordable popular and professional collection of useful lock pick tools.
Just add a Clear Training Lock and you'll be good to go.
Complete this with a lock
While the picks are perfect as they are, we recommend that learners try practicing

5. Best Lock Pick Sets - The Goso Beginners Lock Pick Set
We understand that not everyone wants to spend money on a new hobby, or skill. So if that's you, this is the set for you .
A practice lock is not included with these picks - to cut down on cost - you can get a reasonable one from our store so at least you can still watch your spending, but this set is totally functional and an acceptable first lock pick set.
It has all the picks you'll need, tension wrenches and more, held securely in a multi-pocket, protective black wallet for everyday use. Just add a Clear Training Lock and you'll have the very basics to start.
If you think you're going to be using a set of lock picks for longer, or more regularly - I recommend you spend that little bit extra, and go for any of the other more comprehensive sets. But if you just want to give it a try, this is the set for you.

Me and my friends have a blast picking at the included practice locks. Out of humor I put the credit card kit into my wallet, and it came in handy when I forgot the key to one of my padlocks....
Erick D.
Great set
This is a great beginners set. It has a little bit of everything and comes at a great price. Still working though the ebook but so far I am very satisfied with the purchase.
Jennie C
This is a great deal! I have bought beginner kits before, but I did not get half the stuff for the price. What I did get was not as high quality either. I questioned the "spy card" and it seemed a little "tacti-cool" and gimmicky, but in reality, the picks in that kit tend to be my go to set. It is small, light, and easy to carry. The practice lock alone runs half the cost of this kit. I can't speak enough about how pleased I am with it. Great deal - Keep it up guys....
David N
Great product for beginners!
I'd had some experience picking locks laying around but this was my first purchase of a targeted training lock. The acrylic is neat to see what's going on while working a given pin.
Zachary W
Great products and awesome service!!
The Southord PXS-14 is a great beginner set, customer service is the best! I ordered a practice lock with the lock pick kit, both arrived a day early!
Scott M
My son has had fun with the beginners set and continues to get better. Even his older brother started playing with it. It is multilevel and helps to better understand how locks work
