It seems to me almost every question you have asked the forums can be answered by simply searching. If you don't feel like searching just read through the forums one day when you have a couple of spare hours. It would also be nice if you could tidy up your posts a little, make them a little easier to read. I know I'm just being a grouch but it's nice how this forum is so well kept up and how everyone trys to take the time and write up nice posts. Your posts were kinda eye sores :cry:

Yeah, I know i'm being a grouch but I just appreciate the quality in these forums. I'm also dead tired and therefore in a bad mood... I should head off to bed. I guess I just feel everyone is spoon feeding you maybe you should try to learn some of this on your own.

007, you do seem to expect us to spoon feed you information. Five minutes of searching yielded the following sources to answer your questions in this thread.

Identifying picks: http://www.lockpickshop.com/page/LPS/CTGY/BTKSP

picking doorknobs: MIT guide and http://www.lockpicking101.com/viewtopic.php?t=591&highlight=door+knob+picking

disassembling deadbolts: http://www.gregmiller.net/locks/disassemble.html

There seems to be a bit of hostility from you when we don't immediately give you the information your asking for. It isn't that we don't want to help you. It is more that we want you to try to work it out for yourself before you come to us for help. For the most part when we tell you to search it is because we know the information is out there.

Just an observation.

I've been following these posts for a few days and have noticed a distinct lack of self-help. 007, please do a little research for yourself before impatiently asking very basic questions which have been answered countless times before, almost to the point of making the knowlegdeable users ignore you.

Here is a little tip:

**This is a pre-formatted message**

Here is the link which will take you to everything you ever wanted to know about lockpicking:

Search (hint - it's at the top of the page)

Please feel free to use it for every question you have, no matter how complicated your query may seem to you. The majority of questions you may have will probably have been answered before.

The use of keywords is important - e.g. "I want to know how to open a Master No3" - use keywords "master", "no3", "no 3", "#3", "03", "3" etc. If your question remains unanswered after searching, feel free to post in the correct section of the forum and please, no duplicate posts. If you wish to know more about locks, please post in the "Locks" section. Same goes for "Lockpicks - Manual", "Lockpicks - Automatic/Mechanical", etc.

The "FAQ's and general information" section also contains a wealth of knowledge and expertise, combined with answers and links to most of the questions you may have. This section has been compiled by certified locksmiths and experienced hobby pickers. Please use it.

FYI, the Advanced Locks section is closed to new users. Upon qualification, you will be invited to access the secure section following an initial request, so please don't pester the moderators if you feel that access is taking too long. Your continued participation will be monitored and access will/will not be granted as deemed appropriate.

Your co-operation will greatly enhance your experience within these fora. Thanks for your patience.

Without patience, your lockpicking experience will be short-lived.

Hope this helps you to help yourself. You may think I'm being a bit grouchy, I'm not, but without helping yourself you are not really going to learn anything.

It took me just a couple of minutes to right that, and I'll I'm attempting to do is get you to try to find the information yourself. Your a begginer, and of course your going to want tips and such, and these forums are a great place to start. However, all I was saying is that you should take some time to try to help yourself. When you look for the information you're likely to come apon things that you were not looking for to expand your knowledge on the subject. I love the quality of these forums, and when we start to get fifty thousand topics about the same thing it lowers that quality.

If you compare the picks in your set to the individual pick sold at lockpickshop.com all but one of your picks is sold individually. The one that isn't pick number 5 in your pick set.

I looked at your pickset. That is how I know that you could identify them from the site I sent you to. I identified them myself.

Well said man... Well said...

I have to say this. 007 if you dont have the brain power to search, i doubt patience came in your brain package.... maybe you should SEARCH every little noobish unintellegent question you have asked could have been searched for.

I thought that the knobset on your door looked like a Faultless brand kik that can be picked up at any local wal-mart store for under $10.00.

I don't mean to tease so don't take any offense to this, but when I just now read your post on this thread 007, it sounded like it was Milton Wadams from the movie "Office Space" typing.

"...I said I wanted no salt, NO SALT on my pinocolada, and there's little grains of salt, and i'll take my bidness To a COMPETING resort."

Ah All don't jump all over me know OK.
I finally cracked that knob I posted the pictures of.
The first time I did it backwards.(WEIRD) I was all excited I loved it I'm addicted!!!

then I took it off the door , and set it on a peice of wood which resembles a table(I made) It has holes for locks in it (for me too practice) And I picked it 6 times in a row.

But I put it back and have the same problems.
I think its just one of them tuff locks.
I also purchased 5 different knobs and dead bolts I GOT THEM ALL . Thanks All And thanks to the info on this site.

but whats the deal with that other lock, Thanks Again
