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

Hey everyone,
wow there are so many new people that signed up since i did a couple days ago.. amazing.
A little about myself, I first got interested in lockpicking a couple years ago but didn't a have a guild or reference to start. But a new friend of mine had been doing it for awhile and gave me his old lockpick set months ago and been playing around with them.. I started looking for tutorials online at work when i found this place. I just wanted to say Thank you, Thank you to everyone that made this site a possibility.
Cheers,
Later

Hello Everyone,
I have been a locksmith apprentice for about a year now, working for a local shop in my area. Only as of lately i have really become to realized how much i love this trade. While i have learned the most basic of locksmithing from the shop where i work, they are not as well rounded as other locksmith shops i have seen. Anyway i came across this site, and i hope to expand my knowledge learning from the wealth of information here.
Thank You for your time

I'm new here. Great site. Picking a lock was on my list of things to do before I die...I did it once and I'm hooked. Purely as a hobby, and not even that serious.
Just introducing myself and thank you to all for sharing information.

hi everybody my names chris.
lockpicking was always a cool thing in the movies and video games. but i didnt realize how easy it is conceptually.
im waiting for my 14 piece kit to come in the mail, and i can get crackin on my moms door and see why she got that lock on it
but anyways this is purely for hobbyist reasons and should i say, sport?
but anyways i would appreciate ANY help because of being on forums, i have
learned to ride bmx, learned to professionally build computers,put together a kickass nissan 240sx and learned how to kick ass in battlefield 2.
