wow!! i just picked my front door!

Ive just recieved my pick set this morning (southord c2010) and opened my front door in about 2 mins!! using techniques seen in the vids on here. The lock is a Arrow? barrel lock.

Don't pick locks that are in use... blah blah blah.... don't pick locks you don't own... blah blah blah.... *sigh*..... Have fun and happy picking.

Sometimes you just need to rest your hands to get the feeling back again.

uh yea.. what chrispy said.. don't pick locks you're currently using.. I did that once when I got all giddy about lockpicking and I actually broke the lock w/o knowing it.. My own keys wouldn't open the door.. sadly I never learned my lesson lol... Just recently broke the lock to my closet.... =(
I ran out of locks to pick.. I dismantled them all and now i cant find the pins lol.. I wonder if anyone here who's a locksmith has a box of locks they're planning to throw out.. maybe I can buy it from them.

I have never broken a lock by picking it, which is because I always use light force, though it is clearly safer not to pick a lock you are using.

Thanks for the advice chaps, i will go out today and purchase some easy locks to start on. Are the euro upvc locks easy to pick as i come accross alot of these in my job?

just reapeting what they said good job but dont practice on locks that are important to you exsesive raking and so on will damage pins and so on... electric pics are even worse never use them on any locks you dont want to lose i have an extra lock i lost the key to, use to pick
