lock picking/locksmith shows uk?

[pie muncher]

does anyone know if there is any on this year at all? do we even have any in this country?

[Shrub]

Youve missed the main ones i think, im not too sure of any more this year,

The main one we have is the MLA expo that is usually over 2 or 3 days, this year it was in Telford and was on in Apil,

They are trade only shows however.

If you are just ater meeting up and learning some tricks etc then take a look at the locksport threads, theres a couple now starting up in the uk and i think some are getting a gathering together in the midlands somewhere so you should be able to get to those.

[Shrub]

Yes, anything you want to know type it in to the search on here and you will be enlightend,

Use the word,
and
Inbetween words to cut the number of pages down,

Heres the link for the midlands thread viewtopic.php?t=11719

The local locksports section is at the bottom of the main site if you want to lok through it for other meetings.

thanks shrub i have already posted in that one! would love to learn to make bump keys, sorry to hijack this post but can only traders get key blanks or would i be allowed to buy some?

[Shrub]

You should be able to go to your local key cutter and simply buy a blank key but to be honest the best thing you can do is to go and have the key for the lock cut as a copy then simply file the cuts all to the same height and a little deeper, then follow the rest of the instructions on how to make them,

Making a bum key from a working key is so much easier if doing them by hand as you already have the spacings.

Its your thread, you hi-jack it as much as you want, its better than starting new threads everywhere,

Again have a session on the search for more info.
