odd question, but can u pick locks with these?

I would say no. The size and shape are not conducive to manipulating the tumblers of a lock. I believe they sell lock pick sets online if you are looking for one. If you wanting to use them as a prop for a performance or cosplay, then I think they would work fine if you are already planning on purchasing them. Best of luck!

No, they are way to soft to manipulate a lock. I tried to remove a stuck/broken key from my tanning bed I'm trying to sell and these just got all bent out of shape.

Only three of them at max would be useful for picks. They aren't designed for it, so they wouldn't be the best option. It would be much cheaper and smarter to just order lockpicks from a site like http://www.southord.com/Lock-Picking-Tools/Lock-Picks.html and just order single picks from the replacement section. Don't forget your torque wrench!

Yes. You can tale the lock with the key you use now and have them match it. Both Home Dept and Lowe's do this.

If you take them to a place that sell door locks they can key them so that 1 key works them all. But just because you buy 2 sets alike, doesn't mean that they will unlock the other set. That's why you will have to take them to a place that sells door locks or to a lock smith.

No. Each set is keyed differently. These are the most secure locks that Gorilla sells

Yes, over the nail and pull to lock in. I like them, they're also quick release. If you need pic, just send me an email

They give you 2 keys for each lock. Any one key will open all of the locks. You will end up with a handful of extra uneeded keys. They seem sturdy and work just fine. One key in your pocket opens everythingVery handy.

Sure can. They charge me $15 per lock when I brought it into the locksmith. It was $30 each if they came out.

I think so. The lock mechanism has the rekey hole used in all kwikset locks. I know it can be rekeyed to use other kwikset keys.

I think any lock can be opened By someone who knows what their doing. I Would not get a lock with out a key because the electronics may fail; or run out of power leaving you locked out. If your concerned about bumping; you could always disable the key slot with superglue or something

yes.... some home depots will do it.. otherwise.. go to your local lock guy.. it is a breeze especially if you have your key code to help... I had all 3 of my entry locks keyed alike..

I have not tried or seen if they hold up to bolt cutters, but I can tell you they can jam up; I'm not sure if it was due to the rainy conditions or not but the lock mechanism tumblers either rusted or someone had damaged them previously trying to get it open without the key...I eventlually got it open but it would not lock again.

Possibly, but I don't know for sure. Check with the manufacturer or a locksmith.

I don't think so but I am not an accomplished lock picker. You need to insert the key completely to open the box.

One key/wrench/thingy opens them all, but won't work on someone else's set. Also, if you were to buy just the skewers, then try to add the other locks, later, you wouldn't be able to use just one key.

When I bought my locks I thought about having them keyed alike. I use them on an enclosed car trailer. I decided it was better to keep them separate in case someone tried to break in, they couldn't use one key to open all of the locks. I stamped mine #1,#2, etc. and when I open the trailer I lay them out in order so I can keep track of which key to use. I have used my locks for over a year and really love them.

They also come in individual sets, keep looking. You know these are a Chinese copy of Kwickset locks? I would not have bought them if I knew that.
