I'm afraid a few too many loud engines, firearms and power tools for me to be
able to hear like that now.

I don't actually remember where I got it last time, probably target or
Home Depot. Yeah, they are pretty easy to pick, just pull a bit of
tension on the loop and start flipping levers. They keep out the lazy
thieves. If someone is that intent on getting in though, I doubt a basic
lock will do much for you anyway.
A long time ago, when I had good hearing, I was able to pick cheap
combination locks by listening for the tumblers. Haven't been able to do
that for 25 years though.
