LOCK PICKING Secrets CD Locksmith PICK EASY LOCKPICKING

This wouldn't happen to be a "Compilation CD" that includes such titles as "The MIT Guide to Lockpicking" and "High Security Locks" by Steve Hampton, would it?

Hi, I found this site through ordering an electric pick from Devon locks, they sent me this site address with an email, so I thought I would join in. I have worked as a locksmith for a few years, but looking round have found lots of topics of conversation interesting to read.

I just signed up after a period of lurking, read the FAQ and figured I'd drop a quick post here to say hello. I've been bitten hard by the lockpicking bug -- about a month and a half ago I read the MIT guide, filed out my first pick from a streetcleaner bristle, made a torque wrench from same and started poking around inside a couple of Master No. 3s I had. The first time one clicked open I knew I was hooked hard.

Since then I've made some more hooks, a couple more torque wrenches and even a pair of Bogotas that came out very nicely. I'm currently working on a few locks I just picked up: a Garrison 50mm padlock (apparently has some spools, opened it once but not since) and a Master 576 (no joy yet...) and a cheap Garrison deadbolt cylinder (can pick with three or four pins in, but five is just not happening).

I'm looking forward to learning and contributing here.

Hey, Awesome site just getting into lock picking and i love it already.

[Nightshift201]

Awesome Board!! Lots of usefull info.. I got Hooked about a month ago since then I have almost a complete collection of starter picks and wrenches made out of Wiper Blades, so far only a few padlocks opened and cheap deadbolts nothing advanced yet.. Also im running out of locks in my house, I have to go buy more to practice on :)

Soon when i get a little more advanced I want to start to make myself a nicer set but for now the wiper blade picks are doing pretty good. I might even carry over a few into my new collecton.

But for now I think this board will become my new home for a bit....

Cheers,
Jim
