DIY pinning mat

I am a beginner. These are locks I intended to pick, are picking, or have picked. I try to find them used on Amazon to save money. I use SouthOrd (“Southern Ordnance”) pics with couple Peterson pics/tensioners, most of it sourced from LockPickShop.

Belt level refers to the /r/lockpicking ranking. HLP refers to HelpfulLockpicker‘s progressive lock list for beginners. Locks may have variation in names due to color, hasp size, etc. Example: the American 1100 is can be seen as 1106B, where B is blue.
