Sparrows Night School set

Night School set from Sparrows with three Sparrows cutaway locks.

These locks feature a cutaway window, meaning that a section has been milled away, exposing the pins inside the lock to the viewer.
Left-handed individuals can turn this lock and pick it as a European lock. In that case, the pins and springs are located at the top, just like here in Europe.
Are you right-handed and want to quickly get this set at home, but in a European style? Then buy the flipped version of the Night School.

Everything you want to learn about lockpicking is included in a handy bag. The Night School set comes with four lockpicks, six tension wrenches, three special “cut-away” practice locks, and a case.
The lockpick set includes a basic set from Sparrows with four rakes and hooks with cast iron handles and tension wrenches.
The Cut-Away locks are milled in such a way that the chambers containing the pins are exposed. The design of these locks is different from what you are used to with regular locks, but they function exactly the same as any other pin cylinder lock. The cut-away practice locks have standard pins, serrated pins, and spool pins. Under the English name, these special pins are somewhat better known. The Spool and Serrated pins are very advanced security pins. Due to the milled-out section, you have a sort of window through which you can see the pins while you are engaged in lockpicking.
Store this set in the case, which has a double flap on the left side for storing the items, with even some extra space. The right side has 4 pockets to carry the locks.

Need a bigger challenge?

Sparrows has taken into account the needs of lockpicking professionals. The Cut-Away Practice Locks can therefore be used with the Reload Kit, Master Key set, and the Check Pins. With this kit, you can upgrade the locks to 6-pin locks or use special security pins.
Also acquire the Sparrows Pinning Tweezers, so you can easily grasp and place these small components. These special tweezers have a rounded tip that allows you to easily grip the small round pins.

Technical Terms

The “Triple Peak” is used with a withdrawing motion and is one of the most effective rakes available. This rake is different from most rakes because it creates a “bump” that is very similar to bump keys. This lockpick closely resembles 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 glide through the keyhole. This lockpick serves as a support point in your set, and you will find that this lockpick makes extremely fine and controlled movements. This is crucial in, for example, ASSA locks.
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 fine nuances of each metal pin in the lock. This lockpick can also be used with a rake technique, allowing you to set multiple pins at the same time. 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 lockpicks are made by Sparrows using only American 301 Cold Max steel that can withstand a pressure of 280,000 PSI.
