Five Warded Picks
The United Defense Warded Key Set is a five-piece set of cutaway keys for warded locks. A warded lock relies on fixed internal obstructions, called wards, that only the right key can pass around. These keys are cut down to a thin profile so they slip past the wards and reach the release. Warded mechanisms still turn up in budget padlocks and older locks, so the set is a practical first kit for locksport hobbyists and for anyone who needs back into a padlock they own after losing the key.
Features
- Five-Piece Set — Five keys with different bit profiles share one ring, so you can work through them quickly on an unfamiliar lock.
- Cutaway Warded Bits — Four keys end in narrow, cross-shaped bits with one or two pairs of tabs, sized to clear wards and still catch the release inside the lock.
- L-Shaped Hook Key — The fifth key ends in a right-angle foot that reaches the mechanism from a different angle than the tabbed bits.
- Numbered Bows — Each bow, the flat head you hold, carries a stamped number, which makes it easy to keep track of which key you have already tried.
- Wide Flat Grip — The broad bow gives your thumb and finger a firm hold for turning the key once it is seated.
- Split Key Ring — A steel split ring holds all five keys together and lets you remove one when you want to use it on its own.
- Swivel Lobster Clasp — A spring-gated clasp on a swivel clips to a belt loop, bag strap or kit pouch, and the swivel keeps the ring from twisting.
- Bright Silver Finish — The keys and hardware have a polished silver-tone finish that is easy to spot at the bottom of a bag.
Who It Suits
Warded locks are the simplest mechanism in locksport, which makes this set a sensible starting point before you move on to pin tumbler picks. Locksmith trainees can use it to learn how ward cuts work, and the clasp lets you clip it into a toolkit or everyday carry. Use it only on locks you own or have permission to open.

What I needed for old padlocksI manage a bunch of storage units and half of them have old warded padlocks that tenants leave behind. These skeleton keys have saved me so much hassle, I've already opened like 6 locks that I would of had to cut off otherwise. Shipping was super fast too, got here in 3 days.
Works great on old warded locks
Wish there were a couple more sizes included

Works like a charmI used the Warded Key Set on an old wooden desk lock and it popped right open on the first try. The steel tips fit the wards perfectly and felt solid. It does exactly what its supposed to do and saved me time.
Fits many warded locks
