CUT AWAY PRACTICE LOCKS

One of the most valuable training aids for locksmith students, these locks are meticulously and precisely milled so as to reveal much of the inner workings of the cylinder. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but this is even better.

We recommend that every beginning lock picker should own one cut away lock. It is most valuable to the person who has had no prior experience with lock picking . . . and who has little or no understanding of how pin tumbler locks work. Once the student gains knowledge with respect to the workings inside the lock, he can then use the cut away cylinder just as he would any standard practice lock, as these locks are fully functional as such.

These cylinders are rekeyable using standard rekeying tools and techniques.

All our Practice Locks are rekeyable using standard rekeying tools and techniques. In addition, our EZ-ReKey Practice Locks can be rekeyed without tools of any kind, and with no prior experience.

Each Cut-Away Lock is supplied with both a working key and an incorrect key, to better illustrate how keys align the pin tumblers. Full instruction sheet supplied also.

The recommended strategy is to select a lock with pinning that best suits your current level of expertise. To be perfectly honest, I would not recommend choosing a 2-pinned cylinder at all, though we do sell them. You will pick it within minutes, and from that point on it becomes useless unless you have it rekeyed.

If you have never picked up a lock pick, choose at least the 3-pinned model and plan to have it rekeyed soon . . . or better yet, choose the 5-pinned model right up front and work your way into picking it. It will take a bit longer, perhaps, but once you get the hang of picking it you can still use it as a viable practice lock (just because you manage to pick a lock once does not mean it will pick as easily the next time . . . one of the weird oddities of lock picking).

Cut Away Practice Locks are most useful to hobbyists and students of Locksmithing who are starting out right at the first step . . . with no understanding whatsoever of how a pin tumbler lock works.
