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

Hello, everyone. I've been picking locks for a few years, and came across this site. So far it's been a wealth of information. Thanks for all the work you guys have put into it.

Hello everyone. I have been interested in the art of locks and picking for quite a long time now. You know, every teenager wants to be able to be TEH UBER LOXSMITH!!!111

Anyhow, I am no longer a teenager and I want to be able to look back on my life and know that I did the things I wanted to, so I went ahead and spent 4 hours reading and brushing up/learning my lock theory, and ordered a pick set from the pick shop (lockpickshop). I am pretty stoked about the whole thing, and can't wait to start. This site has been MOST helpful.

I think I will go to a trailer home junkyard and buy some practice locks. Seriously, I can get them for less than a dollar. Seems that a lock is useless to the average individual if they have lost the key.

Anyhow, thanks for the forum, and the information. I hope to be around quite a bit.

Andrew

Hello everyone... yet another noob here.

I too have been interested in the sport for a while and decided to give it a shot.

Ordered up a "package" but unfortunately my mail arrived via UPS opened. Everything was there but the picks.. bummer

So, I gave making my own picks a shot and wouldn't you know that my very first rake popped open my Masterlock 104 in about 5 seconds! I thought it was a fluke so I grabbed another Master from my neighbor and it too opened like magic. What a feeling! I know it's a rake and not pin picking but still fun.

Ordered a second set of picks from a different shop - will see if they show up.

Anyway - thanks for all of the great info guys. See you around the forums.

Well, new member here, i've been mudding around for a bit now with improvised tools on simple locks, (from paperclips to allied wrenches :oops:

) and have been at least somewhat sucessfull. it's ben some time since i started now, and i've come here in search of a community interested in lockpicking, and that's where this forum comes in

Hi, I've just taken up lockpicking as a hobby after seeing the coverage from the Defcons and reading up about it. I just got my pickset through the post today and picked my first lock (B&Q own brand padlock). Great site, although at the moment most of the information is probably going over my head

Hello guys!
Long time ago I found very old lock without key and I really wanted to opedn it. It leaded to lockpicking! Today I finally opened that lock with homemade lockpicks (made from safety pins) and I recorded it with my camera! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=175Ot_eFU14

I can say I have mastered this lock... it is too easy and now Im wondering why I was so exited when I opened in 2 and half minutes T_T
I can now open that lock within 5 seconds using only my tension wrench...

I registered to this page so I can learn more about locks and having good time with you guys!

Hello everyone, im a locksmith an know my way around auto and safe locks but fall short on the hand picking skills you show here, its amazing what you all getup to and the handmade tools you use,
I can not wait to start learning some of the old stuff i forgot years ago again. Its that sort of stuff thats the most important.

by **pooks2525** » 30 Aug 2007 17:01
