Different, but related: I bought my daughter one of those transparent padlocks and a lock pick set a few years ago, and it was a big hit. I recommend it for anyone with young children interested in learning how mechanical things work.

On a related note, the Lock Picking Lawyer uses a type of industrial firearm, a Ramset, to break high security locks as an alternative to picking them.
