Quick question for a Mod

-- I made the $20 contribution to this site (and am looking forward to the cool shirt). Will a Mod add the "Supporter" banner to my screenname automatically, or do i need to send my transaction details to somebody?

-- Thanks

Welcome everybody,
For all thoes new to the site and lockpicking, LP101 is a great place to start.
Take a look at the new users section, first and don't be afraid to ask any questions just remember to try a search before posting.

If you're looking for locks to pick, buy some but, DO NOT PICK LOCKS YOU RELY ON
I repeat DO NOT PICK LOCKS YOU RELY ON, they can and will break, then your house/car/safe/chasity belt is vulnerable or unable to be opened (think: emergency situation).

Cheers,
UWSDWF

Yup, right there under the off-topic General Chatter section….exactly where a newbie would look first.

-- Thanks again -- guess I was a little ruffled by your “lost” reference. No worries. Image

I'm Joe from Lansing Michigan. I work at a big bank doing security stuff. Mostly computers, firewalls, anti-virus, cisco, etc.. I needed a new hobby, and this one is interesting. I bought a So Ord PXS-14 set of pics about 3 weeks ago and I'm already picking any Master paddlock clone and Kwikset fast, other easy things in a few mins. My neighbor brought me a "Brinks" big heavy steele lockbox last night that she had lost the keys to. I opened it's stupid disk-tumbler? lock in about 20 seconds! Thanks for the great site!

- Joe

Already been trying to make some posts!
Great site you guys!
I've been into computer security and lockpicking for most of my life...but I let go of lockpicking for awhile because I wasn't sure If I wanted to spend the money on tools. Now that I am I have started to become pretty good at it. See you guys around!
Hope to learn a lot. :D
