Could somebody please post links to the best video's (Or any videos for that matter) on lockpicking? I find it much easier to learn when seeing rather than reading. Thank you!

I think he meant google-like search, but I don't know. And it is kinda hard to search cause all you can ever find is some site selling you vhs tapes.

This is supposed to be a website for helping... If you don't have anything helpful, or youre going to say something like "Try Searching :evil: " then why are you responding to the topic? It was a simple question is all. I found the videos in Lockpicking 101 under varjeals post.

We say "Try searching" because we don't like to just spew out information... We have all put effort into learning what we know and if someone else wants to learn, then they too must put effort into it...

Thing is, most beginning lockpickers have the same types of questions, and most all of the questions have been answered on the board at some point or another. All one must do is look for them.

It is a good system which keeps the board free of clutter and allows those with these basic questoins to get instant answers as theye've already been aswered.

Just like your question, if you had searched for "Videos" you would have found the thread that Varjeal put in the FAQ forum and had all your answers. This is something we try to teach newbies.

Think about this we get posts every week from a noob saying something like
"How do you pick a dead bolt"
Now think, most of us have commitments like, school, jobs and getting drunk OK. Most of us dont like repetition, and WHY THE HELL DO YOU THINK THIS SITE HAS A SEARCH FUNCTION IN THE FIRST PLACE?

We all need to cut the newbies some slack, at least until the search function is fixed. Try to steer people towards the FAQ. Tons of information in there, and in the future, probably more useful to direct people to the FAQ than always directing to the Search button.
