Search (hint - it's at the top of the page)
Please feel free to use it for every question you have, no matter how complicated your query may seem to you. The majority of questions you may have will probably have been asked and answered before.
The use of keywords is important - e.g. "I want to know how to open a Master No3" - use keywords "master", "no3", "no 3", "#3", "03", "3" etc. If your question remains unanswered, feel free to post in the correct section of the forum and please, no duplicate posts. If you wish to know more about locks, please post in the "Locks" section. Same goes for "Lockpicks - Manual", "Lockpicks - Automatic/Mechanical", etc.
The "FAQ's and general information" section also contains a wealth of knowledge and expertise, combined with answers and links to most of the questions you may have. This section has been compiled by certified locksmiths and experienced hobby pickers. Please use it.
FYI, the Advanced Locks section is closed to new users. If you meet the criteria for qualification, you will be invited to access the secure section following a SINGLE initial request from yourself, so please don't pester the moderators if you feel that access is taking too long. Multiple applications are likely to be ignored. Your continued participation will be monitored and access will/will not be granted as deemed appropriate.

You can find it in the Templates folder. If you have problems with accessing his site, try changing the PASV mode setting in your FTP software from 'on' to 'off'. Most people have no problems but for those who do, that should do the trick.
