:D Hey everybody! I found you're site and thought I'd join and read a bit. I discovered lockpicking quite by accident. Reading a "Howstuffworks.com" article. I bought some basic tools and started picking my doors at home and had a ball with it! It's become quite a hobby for me. Nothing like the feel of the plug turning after working on it "for a while". Just wanted to say hey to you all. Any info for a roockie that would help me learn would be much appreciated!. Thanks, Craig

Read the FAQ section of this site, and search alot. You will be amazed at the expansiveness of the info you can find on this site.

One pointer is alweays search before you post. Otherwise (especially if it is a popular or broad subject with alot of previous posts) you will be flamed.

Have fun with

Look after your tools and dont let mates play with them (they usually get bent or broken)

Read this site as its the best around,

Dont practice on locks in use and especially if they are not yours,

Good luck, any probs and someone here will help you guarenteed.
