Theres no subsitute for simply buying a couple of every lock on the market and making your own book, you learn more doign that than looking at one already done but for a mortice id you wont go far wrong getting the cd pinky sells,

Hi just want to say that the books being sold on locksmith-tools.co.uk are very very basic and some books such as Affordable Security feature no useful tips at all it is merely a descriptive book on how reliable they are. The only book that i've shown any interest in is Involuntary Repossession . But even this book features very outdated techniques and tricks . Just wanted to warn you as i wish someone would of before i waisted my money on books . cheerz
