Imagine a book with 100's of patents with the construction details to make the tools.

Supposedly there is this locksmith of over 30 years experience with a degree in Mechanical Engineering who loves designing tools to easily (relative term) open locks and safes.

I read a mention of him on a private website. He does not like to share anything citing damage control and expects significant compensation for his secrets.

I hope to produce more patent collections documenting the existing work out there.

Maybe with a group collaboration we can put together a collection of easy to built tools and gadgets.

The United States Patent Office is but one source of information. Many countries publish Lock related patents and these can be searched online.

My problem is separating the material of interest from the HUGE amount of data.
