Is there a best/specific lock to practice lockpicking on? At the moment I’m just practicing on crappy padlocks from the garage that aren’t being used and whatnot, but Ive recently seen videos where people practice on bare door locks etc but never specify the name of the lock.

Alot of the locks that are used are the basic standard ones, but the ones that are exposed to the weather start to rust out and just a little bit hard to get open. For the doors, some have a safety catch to them, so just have to pick them twice.

Lock sports are super fun!
I got a clear perspex practice lock from China.
Also, if you want to get some quick wins in, start on a Master lock. They're craptacular.
Also, I'm super careful never have to my picks on me when I'm exploring, but you do you :)
