All orders which were pending as of this morning (May 17th) have been processed and are shipping out shortly. We thank you for your understanding and your business!

 


Beginner's Blend Pick Kit - $30

We have created relationships with vendors and suppliers of a wide range of lockpicking tools in order to be able to pick and choose specific items from their inventory and assemble them into a single, simple beginner's kit. By mixing an assortment of both flexible spring steel and hardened stainless steel we seek to give new lockpickers a wide range of equipment at the lowest price possible. The beginner's blend set includes two hooks (a standard and a euro slim), two half diamonds (a thick hard model and a thin slender one), and two rakes (a snake and a Bogotá-style wave jiggler). These picks are all made in the United States.

 

Custom Jacknife Pick Kit - $40

Many vendors offer some variety of "folding" pick set, and after experimenting with many varieties of them we determined this particular model to be the finest one available. It offers superior stability and solid friction locking of the tools by means of the large arm on the side. The alimunum body is well-milled, and the tension tool locks in place smoothly. The pick tips in this particular kit are a custom assortment that was specifically selected by The CORE Group. You won't find any ball picks or wedge rakes in here!

 

Covert Jiggler Tools - $8

Jiggler tools have long been a favorite of pen testers, police, reposession agents, and others who seek a quck method of opening wafer locks. Filing cabinets, access panels, and even car doors are often vulnerable to attack with jiggler tools. The problem with most jigglers sets, however, is that they contain many tools of questionable value and often the tools are far too large to fit comfortably one one's keychain. This special set of jigglers has been designed to offer only the most useful tools in a compact package, perfect for inclusion next to keys in your pocket.

 

Convertible Tubular Lockpick - $90

This is one of the finest tubular picking tools it has ever been our pleasure to use. Not only is the whole unit constructed out of metal parts, but the picking head features a unique "7-pin to 8-pin convertible" feature. It's like having two tools in one! This pick also comes with a full service kit and spare parts supplies in order to keep working for you well into the future.

 


Blank Keys - $10 / $25
per bag of ten
Blank Keys...
Pre-Scored Keys...

In order to impression a key for a lock, it is necessary to have the proper blank. The CORE Group stocks key blanks in a variety of keyways, geared towards the most common locks seen in the North American market. These blanks are all brass and they are only sold in bags of ten.

Specifically for penetration testers who seek to use them for impressioning under adverse or stressful conditions, we also make all these keys available in pre-scored 0-0-0 cut style. Learn more about that here.

 

Code-Cut Keys - $2.50

If you are embarking on a specialized impressioning process or perhaps attempting a master-key decoding attack, we are willing to code-cut keys for you. These keys are priced the same as our bump keys or our pre-scored keys, provided we have the blanks available.

We stock the following key blanks: KW1, KW5*, SC1, SC4, M1, Y1, & AR1.

* Kwikset keys are actually available in a number of interesting formats and designations, most of which apply to the shape of the head on the key bow. The KW1 key is officially a 5-pin, but the same Kwikset "K bow" is available on a 6-pin key. The KW5 and KW10 keys are both 6-pin, fitting in the same Kwikset keyway, but they have differing bows. They are an ornamental head and a Titan head, respectively. If you are seeking a 6-pin Kwikset key, we can accomodate you as long as you aren't too particular about the aesthetic look of the final product.

We are also willing to acquire other blanks if possible, should your key needs be more specialized. You must email us first before specifying that option above, but know that we will always do the best we can.

NOTE - If you are ordering code-cut keys, please include the specifics in the "comments" section of your order so that we may be certain to keep everything straight.

 

Impressioning File w/ Handle - $35

There are many files available for impressioning, but we have found this particular style to work very well for us during penetration testing. And we are not alone in this opinion... Find me ten locksmiths, and I'll show you at least nine who would swear by Grobet Swiss files for this task. These small half-round files come with removable plastic handles in order to store and transport them more easily.

 

Mini Magnifier - $10

While large tabletop impressioning lamps are a common sight in locksmith shops and during lock-opening competitions, large lamps are less than practical for covert field work. This tiny magnifier tool, however, is ideal for penetration testing. Barely larger than a short stack of quarters, this tool provides astonishing 45x magnification and even features a small LED lamp. Batteries and a black carrying pouch are included.

 

Thickness Gauge - $20

If you want to check how well you are progressing during an impressioning attack, a thickness gauge such as this one may help you. Many covert entry professionals and even practicing locksmiths opt to mark the face of the dial with small lines in order to have a visual aid regarding how deep it is adviable to file for every bitting depth.

 


Traveler Hooks - $5 / $10

This item has become a favorite of many locksmiths and penetration testers. It is very strong and quite useful for loiding doors, reaching hard to access spots, or just generally poking around. This video that we shot demonstrates the real efficacy of having such an item in your kit when you're on a job! The red hook is standard steel, the blue hook is non-magnetic stainless steel.

 

Bump Keys - $2.50

We don't tend to use bump keys often on covert entry jobs due to the fact that they are a bit noisy, they can attact attention, and sometimes they can damage a fragile lock. However, we do discuss them in our trainings and therefore we offer them here. All our bump keys are $2.50. No volume discounts, because this already beats most pricing online. NOTE - Please check your local laws before ordering, these keys are prohibited in certain states and municipalities!

* As mentioned above, Kwikset keys are actually available in a number of interesting formats and designations, most of which apply to the shape of the head on the key bow. The KW1 key is officially a 5-pin, but the same Kwikset "K bow" is available on a 6-pin key. The KW5 and KW10 keys are both 6-pin, fitting in the same Kwikset keyway, but they have differing bows. They are an ornamental head and a Titan head, respectively. If you are seeking a 6-pin Kwikset key, we can accomodate you as long as you aren't too particular about the aesthetic look of the final product.

 


Advanced Spool Pin Lock - $60

This is quite a formidable lock. It is drilled and pinned with seven chambers. Three chambers have a spool style driver pin. Three additional chambers have double spool drivers. (The remaining driver pin is of the basic cylinder style.) This is an outstanding lock both for individual practice and also for learning excerises with others. You can use the included key to field strip the lock and re-pin any number of chambers with any mix of top pins that you like. Then, give the lock to an associate without revealing which drivers are installed where and let them tackle it. You'll not only learn to pick spool pins, but also how to hunt and feel for them, too.

 

Mult-Wheel Combo Lock - $20

Test your skill in manipulating multiple-wheel dials (such as what are found on executive briefcases and luggage locks) with this four-wheel padlock. The combination can be reset in order to allow others to set a combination that you do not know, letting you hunt for the sticking points.

 

Wafer Lock - $5

Wafer locks are quite common in office spaces. They are found protecting filing cabinets, desk drawers, and all sorts of access panels. If you wish to practice attacking them, this lock is a fine option. You can, of course, find locks such as this at local hardware stores for a similar price, so it might not be wise to purchase this all by itself... but it may be something worthwhile if it's part of a larger order.

 

Training Lock Set - $120

Progressive training locks have become a very popular way to learn about lockpicking and train to improve one's skills. This set of eight locks is used in CORE Group training courses because it progressively gets harder for both picking and impressioning. The locks contain not only increasing numbers of pins, they also start to introduce pick-resistant pins as one proceeds through the set. For impressioning practice, the locks initially contain only nickel-silver key pins (the harder metal marks well agains the brass of a key blank) but one will start to encounter more and more brass pins mixed in. Since these key pins are softer, they will make more subtle marks, forcing a closer inspection of the key blank during the impressioning process.

 

Full Training Kit - $250

This is the full kit of supplies that is issued to students in many CORE Group training sessions. It contains everything necessary to attempt all of the excercises in our introductory courses. This plastic case (included) contains...

  • The 8-piece Beginner's Blend pick kit
  • Our 8-lock progressive training set (with Schlage C keyways)
  • A padlock featuring simple pins
  • A padlock featuring spool pins
  • A wafer lock
