Dangerfield Lock picks for Combination Locks - Dial/Wheel Locks and Padlocks - Professional Set

Perfect, just what I needed. You can rely on Dangerfield products. Have and will conquer to order and recommend others to do so.

Used to pick a combination lock.

So the description doesn't match the item. What you will get are two 0.18mm feelers (supplier has confirmed this). The thinner the better so these are better than the 0.25 and 0.35mm noted in the listing. Down side is you get two the same. These are well up to the job and don't bend unless forced but do need the supplied case so they don't get damaged.

Handy little knives for decoding wheel combination locks. Good make. Like most locksmith tools not really cheap!

I'm only just starting out on a bit of a journey of playing with locks but these are some pretty good tools. Dangerfield seem to come recommended which is good, and they are certainly very fine/thin picks that easily get into the gaps of the combination wheels. Being thin they are also helpful in feeling the movements internally which is also important for learning. While they are thin, they are still fairly solid in construction which is also handy, but you will need to look after them to avoid bending them. I think they are pretty good, but more expert people might have a different view. The only downside, is that it seems they used to come with a case, which they don't which is a bit of a shame.

This is a review of the Dangerfield Lock picks for Combination Locks - Dial/Wheel Locks and Padlocks - Professional Set. Which were priced at £14.99 at the time of posting this review. They do not come with instructions but there’s plenty of independent information available online. I enjoy lock picking as a pastime when at home. I find taking a lock and opening it to be quite satisfying, but I’d never tried combination locks before and was unaware specialist picks were available for them. I already own several Dangerfield practice locks and lock picks so I’m well aware of their reputation as being one of the top manufacturers of quality equipment. These picks are very thin which is exactly what’s needed to slide them between the dials on a combination lock. A little care is required to ensure they don’t bend but they are certainly up to the job. With practice I have been able to find the combination on a couple of old 3-dial locks most of the time. Next step will be to borrow 4-dial locks and see how I get on with them. These Dangerfield combination lock picks are, like the rest of the Dangerfield range, top professional quality.

In the world of lock picking, Dangerfield has a reputation for making some of the best tools on the market. These are specifically for those of us who treat picking as an art – a skill that requires many hours of dedicated practice, much like a magician perfecting a trick. This set of two picks is designed to assist with decoding combination locks. Although cheaper locks can often be bypassed without any kit at all, better quality locks require a precision feeler gauge such as these to get the job done. The construction is impressive, as they are made from a very thin alloy that manages to be both flexible and remarkably strong. You can flex the blade significantly and it returns to its original shape without any deformation. This thinness makes it a simple task to detect when a dial is in the correct position, allowing you to find the combination in just a few seconds once you have the knack. I won't go into the specifics of the technique here; however, I would highly recommend them to any serious picker. They provide the tactile feedback necessary for high-end security locks that thicker, clumsier tools simply cannot match. Nevertheless, you will still need to put in the time to learn the "feel" of the tool to get the most out of it. For anyone looking to expand their professional kit, these are a top choice.

works perfectly and are very easy to use at opening my personal combination pad locks. on every lock i have tested them, that i own, they have done the job better than a shim made of a tin can. strong and should be good for years... for opening my personal locks.
