Hi to all on LP101. I'm new to the world of locksmithing having only just set up self employed 2 months ago. Great site & loads of good advice and info.

Hi everyone,

Just joined the group. I have always had an interest in lock picking and decided that I should learn how to. Just purchased a small "pocket knife" pick set to start. So far I have been able to open a masterlock #140 with not much effort.

Have a small brinks brass lock that is driving me nuts and plan to purchase a few more picks & locks to learn more.

I work in Baghdad and this skill should come in handy for some of my assignments...yes they are all legal.

Sorry, but I'm a newbie. I did a search and couldn't find this info so thought I would ask if anyone has an opinion about the locksmithvideoschool? I know the claims of making you a full-fledged locksmith in 30 days are pure bull, but has anyone taken this course, and if so is it worthwhile?

i just joined and this info is amaising/. My dad needed to open a master lock and i made a dhim out of his beer can and he gave me $20.

hi all. i've always been interested in how most things worked, but never really tried to pick a lock until my girlfriend locked us out of the apartment. desperation is a great motivator, right? went to eckerd, bought a package of bobby pins, and twenty minutes later we were in. ya'll should have seen the look on her face(and mine). it just so happened that i had stumbled on the mit guide that week. anyway, i'm hooked. still need to get a set of real picks, but i'm getting pretty consistent with the bobby pins, even though there's no subtlety in them. great site, by the way.

What's up guys? Just saying hi and saying I'm looking forward to learning everything I can: Key entry, combo locks, anything you can get into, I want to know. Hopefully everyone will help me as much as possible. I've learned a few locks on my own. Mostly lock on desks and door locks, just little stuff. Definately want to know more.
