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. Cause everyone should HYSF as well as there Pick-fu.

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

Just stopping by to introduce myself. It's a little late, though. I've been a member for a while. I've been picking for a few months now, with a few homemade picks. I've been scouring the net for info, and thought it a good idea to sign up here. I've picked the following locks: Master lock no.3 (who hasn't), various file cabinet locks, a handful of cheap unmarked padlocks, master lock no.140, Brinks 50mm, American 1105 series, and a couple callan deadbolts and doorlocks. It's definately addictive and I love it.

from my join date im not exactly new, but i recently figured out the trick to picking locks and im doing it all over the place so here i am :lol:

i had a small custom set from lockpickshop.com then i sold that and got that 17 piece set with a couple extra EURO picks for some small locks, my most used tool is the basic hook pick and sometimes that is the only pick that works.

i bet i could pick MOST pin tumbler locks, small to normal sized, some wafer locks like the AM1

i think i should realy get a sig some time.... :roll:

Let me the good boy and make my first posting here

The name is patrick and i used to be into lock picking for some time. But i somewhat lost interest, until i found my pickset again. Man what was i happy.

Offcourse totally lost my feel for the tumblers and being a raker for luck or SPP'ing simple locks, i decided to start all over. Basicly i have taken my pickset and "destroyed" most of the rakes in there to make different types of hooks. My aim is to improve my SPP skill, so no more rakes for me.

A friend of mine, who just happens to be a locksmith was so kind to prepare a cilinder lock for me, so i can exchange the tumblers every time i pick the lock, increasing pickfun. It's also handy to let beginners start with a 2 tumbler lock to show them how simple it is

I'm almost ready to start grinding my own pickset, thanks to the pyro1234321 video

basicly keeping this thicker stainless steel pickset for others to start picking if they feel like it

Im new to both the site and lock picking. i always had an interest but never pursued it until now. im ordering my pick set soon but i dont really know what to get. i have locks just sitting at my house most are schlage and i have a few american locks sitting around. just wondering if i should get a European-Japanese set or an American set, and what each tool is for.

i guess i just have to look around.

Hello everyone, I've been lurking for quite some time now, becuase I didn't have any help or information, or feedback to offer, but I had been dying to get myself a set of picks because I am a puzzle type of guy (I can consistently do the Rubik's cube in under 40 seconds). I have read many, many how-to's, and I hope that when the 8 piece kit that I bought from lockpickshop.com arrives, I may be able to learn and have some fun!

Hi everyone

I happened across this forum today while doing some research on locksmithing. The trade interests me very much. Im currently considering looking for a locksmith apprenticeship. The forum looks to be a fantastic place to learn, share information, or just hang out.

cheers
Tommy
