Becoming a master

Postby Big Dave » 5 Mar 2006 5:05

Ive been picking locks for some time now and can honestly say ive come a long way along my journey ive all ways demonstrated my achievements by picking locks in front of my family and hence its got to the point that no one is impressed anymore and if it takes me longer than 1 min to pick a lock everyone thinks im crap. I picked my fathers front door yale lock in 7 seconds yesterday and he didnt even batter any lid.

it's a good point,

if your on a job and you pick a lock in seconds
poeple don't want to pay the price because you made it
look easy!

on the other hand if you have trouble with one they think
your crap!

you just can't win sometimes still a great job though!

Why dont you make a couple of picks (so they dont break yours) and let them have ago that way they will appreciate how hard it can be to pick a lock. :)
