Lock picking isn't as easy as they make it look in the movies. I bought a set and a bunch of locks of varying difficulty (size of keyway, type of lock, type of pins, etc...). Most door locks are pretty easy, especially if they're not in a door. But it takes work and practice, and even the way the lock is keyed can make a big difference in how tough a lock is to pick. For instance if the pin farthest in is super short, but the one in front of it is really long, that can be a bear.
