How would a person know which locks are harder to pick?

How tough a lock (as in a key lock) is to pick often relies on the tolerances between the pins. So more expensive locks are typically harder to pick because they are manufactured with more specific tolerances.
A good rule of thumb is to see how much wiggle the key cylinder has if you just stick a small screwdriver in the key slot and turn it back and forth.
A lot of wiggle typically means it is easy to pick. Little or no wiggle typically means means it is tough.
I say "typically" because there are always exceptions.
I hope that helps.
