What was the first lock you picked?

I guess I'm in the same boat as many, I picked a filing cabinet when I was young and then moved onto master locks. I still have my first Master too. Cheers

Straightened paperclip and privacy lock on bathroom door.

We would always lock ourselves out of the bathroom on accident, so we would always have to Jimmy it open with a butter knife (as young as I can remember)

The first lock I picked was a worn out master #1 padlock with a Bobby pin. Next was the deadbolt on our front door that I raked with a tool I made from the metal wire that holds headphones together. That was when I was 12

My first picks I bought were the $5 set from dealextreme

My buddy learned when he was in the Marine Corps, showed me the basics and I picked his kwikset deadbolt.
