I was thinking about getting auto cylinders from scrap yards ?Anyone tryed it! What would be the best way to get them out? from the inside of the car?

What cars (cylinders) are best to start on? Those klom picks look fine.how do you know if there in stock

I grab them out of every dead car I pass. Most junk yards let you have them because they usually don't have keys and no one buys locks from junkyards for their cars. Try to gat sets like door,trunk ,glove box,ignition. Good for impressioning practice. Otherwise just walk around pulling the door panels,reaching in,pulling the clip,releasing the rod,and it's yours.
