Trades people and handymen, as well as local hardware stores are good places to get a variety of locks, if buying from these places note that the "toughness rating" usually pertains to the hardness of the lock body and latch itself, not the core strength, so some strong locks may not be warded or might not have seated or false pins. Lock picking lawyer has thousands of videos on this, and Covert Instruments is his own brand. (Referred to as CI in my previous post) They have the 3D printing files for the pin tray and followers online, and you can get the pin tweezers there too. Although it may be cheaper and more advantageous to purchase from other European sources for you. https://covertinstruments.com/?srsltid=AfmBOor8a1_goIDjeYUVClDhtaR50BQJyUZUPoCXqHMLBNWsir5dBsl9 Their beginner set is pretty good to start (I bought this and it's got me into lots of standard and beginner locks I've found around here) https://covertinstruments.com/products/genesis-lock-pick Shipping is calculated at purchase and they will let you know if they can or can't ship to you, duties and taxes will be calculated on your end from my understanding Picks and tension bars can be fabricated by yourself with the proper tools, the metal inserts from wiper blades are commonly used. A book I've found helpful with explaining the concept of picking as well as the general trade of locksmithing (even has parts on auto locks) but is quite American brand leaning is The complete book of Locks and Locksmithing https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1259834689/ref=dp_ob_neva_mobile Although you may be able to find a better source guide for your location when you yourself search as Amazon tends to skew toward your location. And if you know the type and model of the lock guides can sometimes be found online for free by searching. Hope this helps you!
