Edit, I’d like to learn how to pick locks.

I’m not going to say that it’s easy, but it’s not really that hard.
I’ve never used a snap gun or bump key. I’ve only talked a few times. I mostly just pick (SPP - single pin pick). I bought a pick set online and a cheap door knob. I already had a cheap pad lock.

The lock picking lawyer is entertaining. BosnianBill on YouTube is also excellent and, I think, more educational IIRC.

This place has lots of good info including this page
