They are tagged items and must be approved before using. In order to use them, you must demonstrate their easiness of being able to be picked. Also, they are never ACTUALLY used on anything for safety reasons and are actually taped onto the item (like a door) they are locking for safety reasons.
The rule book mentions buying them in game somewhere... maybe under the thief/searching/stealing part? not sure.

Thanks, Jesse. I'll bring my lock phys reps to events in hopes of finding the right source for acquiring the tag in-game.
For anyone interested in acquiring the right phys reps, here is a link to the right kind of 1-tumbler novelty padlocks on Amazon:

They look considerably less cheesy in the game environment, I assure you. I've been using this style of lock in other games and on modules for many years. These work great, and this is a great bargain.
If there is anyone who has, or who is interested in the Legerdemain skill to pick locks, but isn't familiar with how it's done, I can teach you in about 30 seconds. Just come find me on site before the event. You don't need real lockpicks. In fact, they actually work less well on this style of "toy" lock. A dental pic, or even a cheap Bic pen with pointy nib, or the back of an earring work great! You just need a stiff piece of metal like those objects, and that works fine. (Paperclip is too malleable, and a pin is too annoyingly sharp, and/or thin.)
