You need to read the MIT guide to lockpicking. After that have a read through the FAQ section on the forums. 8) If you still need help after that do a search as most questions you are going to ask as a beginner have been covered numerous times. :wink:
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

wheres the second mit? thats news to me.

The mit is writen by "ted teh tool" and discuses the basics on picking locks, raking, as well as some more complex things to remember/take advanage of when picking. Use the search button to find it.
