I've got a drawer full of padlocks, cylinder locks, combination locks, etc of every size and description. I can't walk into a hardware store without being drawn to the lock section. I shudder to think how much money I've spent on locks over the years but it's far more than I've spent on all my razors, soaps, creams and brushes.

Although lockpicking tools themselves aren't that expensive (except curtain lock picks).
