Chop Shop

Welcome to the Chop Shop at Covert Instruments, where craftsmanship meets chaos. Here you will find an unprecedented opportunity to custom build your own kit to spec, purchase unique small batch sets, replace your favorite broken pick, and buy experimental prototypes of things we are creating. You may even be able to snag a prop from one of our videos!

What is The Chop Shop?

Nobody wants to be boring. The Chop Shop is where precision meets rebellion. We’re taking lock picks and turning them into canvases for artistic expression.

Your picks will become the subject of discussion at your next locksport meetup or social media posting. Right now you can choose from our ever growing list of designs. Soon you will be able to connect with us and create whatever you want. Stay tuned!

Whether it is to showcase your unique style or to personalize that perfect gift for someone special we have got you covered.

Build Your Own Lock Pick Set

Covert Instruments seeks to give YOU complete control over your kit. Once upon a time, we were you. We resented having to buy filler tools or obsolete profiles. Those dark days are now behind us. With The Chop Shop, you can build your own set from the ground up. Choose your favorite picks and put together a kit that’s tailored to your specific needs.

Individual Lock Picks

Our number one request over the years can be summed up something like this:

“Hey CI pretty please with a #$%^*@! cherry on top start
selling individual picks!”

You have been asking for it for years and we are finally able to give it to you. Now you can replace individual broken picks or stock up on some spares of your favorite profiles.

At Covert Instruments, we’re all about being a disruptive force. The Chop Shop is our next evolution in a very specific mission:

We seek to give you exactly what you want and nothing that you don't.
