Hello everybody, new guy here.

I've decided to try lockpicking as a hobby, and this site seems like a pretty good place to start. I'm in the military, so a lot of my days tend to involve a lot of yelling, running around, and generally high-stress situations. I'd like to try lockpicking since it seems like a nice, quiet pursuit. Most of my other hobbies are the same; Japanese (I'm still terrible), Arabic (worse than my Japanese), guitar (pretty decent), and art (um, eye of the beholder...).

I don't really have any goals regarding lockpicking yet. I'm honestly just looking to zen out and enjoy it.

Thanks for putting this site together, and thanks to everyone willing to help.

Hi All. I'm new to the forum but not to lock sport. Just wanted to introduce myself.

I joined so I could learn but also to share what I already know about the sport and hobby of lock picking.

Hi everybody, just a quick line to introduce myself. I've been interested in locks for some time but haven't done a great deal of picking yet. Then I discovered this site. Well, what can I say, this site is packed with information and help: Absolutely amazing! I'm particularly excited about learning about UK lever locks as there isn't a great deal of information out there, except on this site.

Looking forward to learning a lot.

Thanks guys.

Welcome to the forum.

So, tell me do you have the same problems with polar bears and flying hockey pucks?

do you use ice picks to open your igloos ?

do you use ice picks to open your igloos ?

Yes... Ice Picks will get a lock open real fast.

A word of advice though, the last time I used Lock De-Icer, the whole Igloo melted!

You too!!?? :shock:

I mean come on I don't mind paying for the occasional lock if I screw something up, but a whole bloody igloo? That was just nasty. Froze most of my A55ets right there.

Welcome to all new folk btw.

I'm new here, call me a n00b if you want. This site is really helpful, it's definitely the biggest factor in my decision to get into lock picking. Keep up the good work guys!

Hello all, this site is great!

I watched some of the lock picking competition at DEFCON this year and was very intrigued. I ended up buying the Southord MPXS-20 set a few weeks ago, and I've been having a great deal of fun since.

I can pick a Master #3 or a #5 in seconds, but I am being ruined by the Master #532. I'm hoping with some help from you guys I might be able to get this (I've read a few threads on it already, but no joy yet).

I also have been able to readily pick a kwikset deadbolt I bought (or bump it even faster usually), but I have been having trouble with the kwikset doorknob lock that's on my front door.

Basically I just want to learn, I find this whole area fascinating - plus the feeling you get when you pop a lock is awesome.
