FAQs
Is this set suitable for beginners?
Yes, the ATEK 17-Piece Lock Pick Set is specifically designed with beginners in mind, featuring a transparent padlock to aid understanding.
What materials are the lock picks made from?
The lock picks are made from advanced stainless steel for durability and performance.
Can I use this set on real locks?
This set is intended for practice and educational purposes on the included transparent lock. Its use on real-world locks may be limited and should only be done where permitted and legal.
What comes included in the set?
The set includes 12 lock picks, 5 tension wrenches, a transparent practice padlock with keys, a carrying case, and a detailed user guide.
How do I maintain the lock picks?
Wipe them clean with a dry cloth after use and store them in the provided case. Ensure they are completely dry before storage.
What is the main benefit of the transparent padlock?
The transparent padlock allows you to visually see the internal mechanisms of the lock as you practice picking, which greatly helps in understanding how locks work and how to manipulate them.
Is the carrying case durable?
The set comes with a carrying case designed to hold all the tools securely, protecting them during storage and transport.
Troubleshooting
Picks feel stiff or don't move smoothly.
Ensure the picks are clean and dry. If the transparent lock feels stiff, try a tiny amount of graphite lubricant in the keyway and work the lock mechanism.
Lock pick bends or breaks.
This set is for practice. Avoid applying excessive force. If a pick bends, it may still be usable with care, but discontinue use if it becomes unusable to prevent damage to the lock or injury.
Carrying case snaps or zippers are difficult to use.
Gently operate the case closures. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of wax can help. Ensure picks are stored correctly to avoid snagging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No complex setup is required. Simply remove the tools from the carrying case. The transparent padlock functions like a standard padlock; insert a key to lock or unlock, and use picks and tension wrenches when the lock is in its locked state.
Compatibility: This set is designed for educational purposes and practicing on the included transparent lock. It is not intended for use on security-critical locks or for any unauthorized purposes.
Care:
- Cleaning Picks: After use, wipe the picks clean with a dry cloth. For stubborn debris, use a slightly damp cloth and ensure the picks are dried thoroughly before storing.
- Storage: Store all components in the provided carrying case to prevent damage and loss. Keep the case in a dry environment.
- Lubrication: While not typically necessary for practice locks, if you experience sticking with the transparent lock, a small amount of graphite lubricant (not oil-based) can be used sparingly.
