Peterson GSP-KPS Ken's Pick Set | Government Steel with Plastic Handles

The Peterson GSP-KPS, widely known as Ken's Pick Set, is an elite solution for door restoration and lock entry, curated by Ken Peterson himself. This "first line of attack" kit is engineered for professionals who need a compact, high-performance arsenal without the bulk of a full-scale kit. Crafted from proprietary Government Steel and finished with ergonomic, fiber-filled plastic handles, these tools offer the ultimate combination of tactile feedback, high tensile strength, and agility for tackling both standard and high-security pin tumbler locks.

Engineered for Restricted and High-Security Keyways

The GSP-KPS is a comprehensive solution for commercial door security, featuring specialized profiles designed to defeat modern pinning strategies:

• DCAP (Deep Cut Access Picks): These low-shank profile picks are a vital solution for door edge reinforcement strategies when dealing with locks where deep cuts are close to the bow. They prevent over-setting front pins while reaching difficult tumblers at the back.
  
• Slender Gem (.015 Ultra-Thin): A specialized 0.015 thick stainless steel pick designed for narrow, paracentric keyways where standard .025 picks cannot maneuver.
  
• FLAT-5 Serrated Tension Tools: This 5-piece set features innovative serrated teeth that "lock" into the keyway, ensuring a slip-free grip and precise control even with a feather-light touch.
  

Proprietary Government Steel Technology

Unlike standard 1095 carbon steel, Peterson’s Government Steel (GSP) is a legendary alloy known for its ductility and extreme durability:

• Tactile Feedback: The hard, fiber-filled plastic handles transmit every vibration from the pins directly to your fingertips, acting as a permanent solution for door surface repair and diagnostic testing.
  
• Unmatched Strength: This high-tensile steel is designed to flex instead of bend and bend instead of break, outlasting standard tools and saving costs on replacements.
• Surgical Precision: Many profiles feature the "EURO" design approach, incorporating a reduced shank height for superior access in restrictive keyways.
  

Comprehensive 11-Piece Tool Contents

Housed in a premium 2-3/4" W x 5-1/2" H soft leather case with a secure snap closure, the set includes:

Why Choose the Peterson Ken's Pick Set?

The Peterson GSP-KPS is the definitive "shirt pocket" kit for the modern technician. By providing tools that address common "simple" lock failures—such as the saw-tooth extractor for broken keys—it serves as a versatile solution for door restoration. For maximum hardware longevity, using these high-strength tools prevents the damage often caused by forced entry. In high-traffic environments, having a set that includes serrated tension tools and deep-cut access picks ensures you can service everything from standard residential entries to complex commercial storefronts.
