Nice! Good info, especially if you're like me and had to learn how to
pick locks because you can't remember combinations. :P

We do have some undamaged combo locks in the lockpicking boxes that
would be ideal for picking practise. The ones in the bin on the
hackshelves were all cut, so I'm not sure if it's as easy to know when
it's "open" since the metal loops are damaged or missing. They might
just be more fun to take apart and examine the mechanisms.

We also have some of those fun spinning dial locks with numbers or
letters in both the lockpick boxes and the extra bin. I always found
the little ones were easy to open as a kid by pulling on the arm and
turning dials until you heard a click ... maybe they make 'em better
these days [probably not].
