Disclaimer
DSL will not be providing (or selling) any lockpicking tools. In this workship I will be discussing lock theory and my experiences with locks. Furthermore, DSL does not endorse any criminal activity and anyone in possession of lock picking tools are solely responsible for them. To limit DSL’s social liability, non-members will not be able to participate in this lesson.
Hong Kong Law Regarding Lockpicking Tools
Please note that among my research, there isn’t any solid legislation regulating the possession of a lockpick set in Hong Kong. Which makes things confusing. Information on forums and websites are sketchy on the subject, with no solid source saying either way. However, trying to purchase a lockpick set in Hong Kong requires a “business locksmith license” which makes purchasing difficult.
Chapter 210, Section 27, Title: THEFT ORDINANCE

(2) Where a person is charged with an offence under this section, proof that he had with him any article made or adapted for use in committing a burglary, theft or cheat shall be evidence that he had it with him for such use.
