Welcome!!!

    Read the Rules(and I mean ALL OF THEM)
    Use the search Function before creating a new thread, your question might have already been answered, or atleast, addressed.
    Happy Reading(which there is tons to do) and Happy Picking.


Use this for all your common questions please ImageSearch

Many issues/questions have been addressed many times. If you do post a topic that has been addressed many times, without doing a search, people may start floobing*, Don't take this as an insult or a way around your question, thats natural when questions have been asked many times...

*Floobing - good humored, teach them the rules, noob flaming - get used to this term, because it happens alot.

Greetings to you all, I have been reading practicing & searching for as much info as I can in this wonderful forum. I first started picking about a month ago as a hobby & find it fascinating. I did have a CD I used on my computer from the guy that somebody on this board posted links to 3 short movies showing him picking a car trunk, a door lock & a pad lock. Everybody here was commmenting on how hard he used his picks on the locks & how he was destroying his picks. I did receive four picks & a double tension wrench with the kit I ordered & I was picking the same way he was, pretty hard & I managed to break 2 of the picks already. I purchased it before finding this site. I did manage to pick a Master Padlock, a couple of filing cabinets, a desk drawer, my front door , my garage door, my 1997 chevy pickup door, & i got to tell you I was shocked & amazed. I have now ordered a set from Lockpick shop that was suggested on one of the topics in the FAQ section. I will continue to practice & learn to be more mechanical & less forceful when picking. Thank You for all the great advice.

I've been lurking on this site for about 3 days now. With help from some of the threads I've made my own home made picks and just a few minutes ago I picked my first lock (my back door) so I figured it was about time to join the group. I feel like a freakin ninja now :P

Welcome to LP101. Make sure that you fill out your profile so we know where you're from and to search before posting a thread. Also, it's not a good idea to pick locks that you depend on, it's better to get some practice locks. Other than that, welcome and happy picking! :)
