Technical Terms

The “Triple Peak” is used with a retreating motion and is one of the most effective rakes available. This rake is different from most rakes because it causes a “bump” which is very similar to bumpkeys. This lockpick is very similar to the “Double Peak”.
The “Offset Hybrid” is a combination of a Shallow Hook and a rounded Half Diamond. The wedge-like tip and specially rounded edges slide through the keyhole, so to speak. This lockpick serves as a fulcrum in your set and you will find that this lockpick will make extremely fine and controlled movements. This is crucial in ASSA locks, for example.
The “Short Hook” (also known as “Lifter”) is one of your first choices from your lockpick arsenal. This pick is the most versatile and widely used lockpick available. This Hook lockpick is designed to allow the lockpicker to feel the intricacies at each metal pin in the lock. This lockpick can also be used with a rake technique, allowing you to place multiple pins at once. This lockpick is applicable to many different keyholes and pin profiles.
The “City Rake” is a well-known rake that has proven to be indispensable in every lockpick set. This lockpick is fantastic for manipulating the most common commercial and residential lock pin profiles.

All lock picks are made by Sparrows using only American 301 Cold Max steel that can withstand a pressure of 280,000 PSI. All lock picks are made by Sparrows.

The Sparrows Kick Start set has changed somewhat over the years to promote overall effectiveness.
Given that more information and methods have been developed, many wanted the Kick Start to be updated to respond to the new needs and form a great lockpick set with it. This means that the Kick Start now consists of the four most practical lock picks.
