What hardware store sells lock pick sets?

Answer 1

I'm a known lock picker. I'm also a well-known customer at my hardware stores here in town. I know the people that work there and I know the managers and salesmen by name - and they know me.

I have never seen a lock pick kit for sale at a hardware store. Not once. Even when asking people that I believe would tell me the truth, they don't have them.

I'd be very surprised to find a hardware store that carried lock picks. It's really not a tool for home improvement. It's more or less a tool for a hobbyist of some type. You're probably more likely to find them at a novelty shop, a knife shop, a gun shop, or an Army Surplus store.
