Welcome to the site,

To get use to the site and forums here, read the posts and use the search function to narrow down any information that you may be looking for.

Not to be rude, but you have asked no question, so this is the wrong place to make your post. It would have been the Introduce Yourself Here Thread.

*If a Mod wants to move this to the appropriate place and delete this message to clean things up, feel free to do so.

Welcome everybody,
For all thoes new to the site and lockpicking, LP101 is a great place to start.
Take a look at the new users section, first and don't be afraid to ask any questions just remember to try a search before posting.

If you're looking for locks to pick, buy some but, DO NOT PICK LOCKS YOU RELY ON
I repeat DO NOT PICK LOCKS YOU RELY ON, they can and will break, then your house/car/safe/chasity belt is vulnerable or unable to be opened (think: emergency situation).

Cheers,
UWSDWF

Yeah I noticed that as soon as I posted, but, since I couldn't delete my post, figured it was better to leave it here rather than double post.

Giving a new member a little slack would be more diplomatic than pointing out rules he broke with his first post.

im pretty sure he did give you a little slack. i already flamed someone today so i'll be nice.

welcome to the site, there is a lot of knowledge here and some really great people. make yourself at home and stay awile.

the best advice i can give you is buy some locks you will only use to practice with. you CAN and WILL ruin locks eventually if you practice with them enough... its just unavoidable. buy some deadbolts or some key in knob locks from lowes or home depot to get you started. kwikset is a nice crappy brand to start picking. dont pick locks that are in use and dont pick locks you dont own.

other then that have fun pickin.

I did say welcome to the site though...j/k

Just pointing you in the right direction, and double posting isn't all that bad.

Please enjoy the site and stay a bit, and as said by melvin, you will find much information and helpful people here, but again I wasn't trying to be rude even though it may have sounded that way.
