[Zombie Hunter]

Hi, my name is Zombie Hunter, and yes...I am a real live zombie.

I use my lock picking skills in my many zombie activities.

I have a basic Southford set. I have these rubber sleeves that I put on them and I regret it. I’m thinking of taking them off because its hard to slid my picks in and out of the leather case.

I have been able to pick whatever has come before me, but I don’t seem to be getting any faster. I’m hoping to be able to pick locks in roughly five minutes tops.

I also have bump keys and shims. I’m hoping to be able to pick combination locks, since I really don’t consider shims as picking the lock, as it is bypassing it.

My other goal is to find a nice tension wrench. The ones I have are too thick for some locks. Every where I look they don’t tell you how thick the wrench is.

The night comes...I must pick my way put of my coffin....

Hi,
My name is Stick, and I play whistles.
I found this site because I made a bump key
for my own back door, and got interested.
I like clocks, and musical instruments,
and messing with things mechanical.

Thanks to Pinky for the truth about locksmithing
on his website - I nearly signed up for an expensive mistake,
er, I mean locksmith course, with somebody else.

Ta!

Hello my names criminalhate and I'm an alcoholic...... No wait wrong room. I did it again.
=P but anyways I've been interested in lock picking and other aspects of locks and lock smiting. I have had a fascination with locks for some time I got my first set of lock picks when I was 14 or so (yes my dad got them for me) played with them for a few months then lost them when I moved and having the attention span of any 14 year old I forgot about lock picking for some time. Im now 21 and waiting on a set of southord "blemished" lock picks. In the mean time I have started making a couple picks of my own =)

Also I'm from south east Michigan, I play Bass, and I've been contemplating trying to get a locksmith apprenticeship somewhere around here.

Hello everyone. I haven't been able to find much information on actual lockpicking. The only experience I have is from old-fashioned large keyholes. I'm hoping to learn all I can. Cheers.
