SERE Kit Lock Pick and Escape Kit: Urban Survival Cards
A Compact SERE Kit for Urban Escape and Evasion
The SERE Kit Lock Pick and Escape Kit is a compact escape and evasion kit designed for urban survival scenarios where access, movement, and restraint escape matter. Built around Grim Workshop’s survival card system, this SERE kit provides real tools for opening locks, bypassing doors and gates, and escaping restraints without relying on bulky equipment.
This kit includes four survival cards, a waterproof instructional guide, and a steel pocket storage tin. Together, they form a discreet, reusable SERE kit that fits into a pocket, wallet, or Altoids tin size container.
Every tool in this escape and evasion kit is removable, reusable, and designed to be returned to the cards after use.

What’s Included in This SERE Kit
This SERE kit is built as a layered system rather than a single purpose tool. Each component covers a different aspect of escape and evasion.
The kit includes:
Four survival cards focused on access and escape
Lock picking tools and tension wrenches
Restraint escape tools including handcuff bypass options
Door and gate bypass tools
A waterproof 8 page instructional guide
A compact steel storage tin for organized carry
Instead of disposable or single use items, this escape and evasion kit is designed for repeated practice and real world use.
How This Escape and Evasion Kit Works
Each survival card in the SERE kit holds multiple tools that can be removed individually, used, and returned to the card. This allows you to practice techniques, maintain familiarity with the tools, and reuse the kit over time.
The waterproof instructional guide explains how to:
Use lock picks and tension tools
Perform basic bypass techniques
Escape common restraints
Apply tools safely and responsibly
This makes the kit suitable not only for emergency use, but also for training and skill development.

All Items in this Kit
Escape and evasion tools only work when paired with knowledge. The SERE Kit Lock Pick and Escape Kit is designed to support learning as much as emergency use.
Grim Workshop skill guides teach:
Lock picking fundamentals
Bypass techniques
Ethical and legal considerations
Tool handling and safety
When combined with practice, this SERE kit becomes a reliable access and escape solution rather than a one time emergency item.
Wallet Size Urban SERE Cards
Grim’s SERE Cards can turn your wallet into a complete wallet sized lock pick and escape and evasion kit costing you only the space of a few credit cards. This specially designed credit card sized kit is perfect for everyday carry.
SERE Kit Reusable Design
There are no one and done experiences with Grim's Urban Survival Cards. Our custom designed and fabricated TOOL RETENTION SYSTEM was created to allow this EDC SERE kit to be reusable. Our Tool retention system allows you to take out yourtool of choice, use it, and put it back into the card when you're finished with it. This material is nonmagnetic (so no worries over de-magnetized credit cards) and non-adhesive (so no gummy residue on you, or your gear).
Why This SERE Kit Exists
Many escape and evasion kits rely on disposable items, single use tools, or bulky pouches that are left behind. This SERE kit exists to solve that problem.
It is designed to:
Provide real escape and evasion capability in a compact format
Support repeated training and skill development
Act as a backup access kit when keys or primary tools are unavailable
Integrate with other survival cards for layered preparedness
This is a SERE kit built for people who understand that access and mobility are survival skills, not last minute hacks.

Complete Your Lock Pick and Escape Kit: Skills and Training Considerations
A lock picking and escape kit works best when you have more than one way to solve the problem. Pairing these tools with foundational lock picking and escape and evasion skills like raking, tension control, single pin picking, bypassing, and shimming, you can handle stuck doors, broken keys, lost keys, gate latches, cheap padlocks, and emergency restraint escape. These slim tools fit in any wallet, keychain pouch, or Altoids tin so you stay ready without carrying bulky gear.
