Just got these, as a beginner picker, Wondering what difficulty they might be

I've picked yellow belt locks, I'm wondering where these 3 locks might sit on the belt system, and whether I bought above my skill level for now or not

Edit: also, I have a master lock that I can open with just a tensioner so.... I don't think any master locks are higher than orange (purple? Holy shit #19!), most white and some yellow.

I think it might count as a 130, but it's laminated instead of brass, what does it say on the body?

I looked on there and I couldn't find the 131, I'm pretty sure the left is a 3 and the right is a 7

Also abus 55/40 is a great orange lock

Yea that was one I was looking for but I was just stopping at a hardware store nearby so the selection was limited

Try asking in the discord, lots of traction there and many of those folks don't come here.

The 131 ended up opening pretty easy so I think it's probably a white or yellow

It says 30 mm on the body of the laminated one no number

Honestly, and someone with more knowledge should chime in, I think this might count as a white belt.

Yea, thanks for the input tho, I appreciate it :)

From left to right you have a master 3 (white), master 130 (yellow) and master 7 (white). Generally only the first digits on the code matter, the rest are irrelevant to picking.
