Hi
looking for a bit of advice, Ive just bought a lockpick set for £40 and was hoping for a bit of guidance as to where to start and which locks to start on, ive opened just a couple of pin tumbler locks with relative ease apart from a front door which im finding a bit hard, Anyway any guidance would be appreciated. :D
Thanks
James

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
