New here, Just got my letter for the BUREAU OF SECURITY & INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES today, That my license of Locksmith was approved I just have to send in a copy of my D.B.A
I have been playing with locks for a few years, I enjoy it a lot, with my license I can carry my picks any where and don't have to think a bout if a cop stop me while I am working or helping some one unlock there car or home.

Yes, that's very expensive. 15 pick set should cost 25 dollars if they're basic, but shipping is something I wouldn't happen to know about.

Hi Im new here. I work as an in-house Security Officer and a back-up for the Pass & ID office for a big oil company. The Pass & ID Office position requires that I know a little about picking locks usually only to pick the locks on desks because the employee lost the key. We work with Sargent, Master, and Schlage locks. We have a Codemax 1200max machine for the advanced key cutting as well which I still don't know how to use. I look forward to learning from everyone on here.
Thanks.

Hi there, im CaeZiuM, just a curious 16 y.o. from Australia. But I do have an interest in locks and seeing how they work, how to pick them etc.
I remember when i was about 10 I sat in my grandparents basement going through all the old locks they have down there trying to pick each one with whatever I could find; after about 4 hours (  ) I managed to pick some old piece of junk, but boy was I happy 'bout it.
Anyhow, my escapades through the net led me here, so I hope I can learn some interesting skills!

I am a soldier in the US Army. I have decided to learn picking because of how many times it would have been useful in my last deployment I just came off. During my year in Baghdad, I can count atleast 26 times where picking would have been highly effective for my missions. Plus, I also think I might be able to turn a profit on my post with all those drunk soldiers locking themselves out of their rooms on the weekend. Hope to find some interesting and helpful people here.

Welcome everyone. 
Some things may be pick proof, but everything can be bypassed....

Hi people. Im new to the forum and new to lock picking. Ive been involved in computer and network security for a while and developed an interest in picking after being locked out of my car, dorm rooms, and house on several occasions. Ive developed basic strategies for bypassing locks on some bolted doors but this has only worked on a very small percentage of doors. I hope to learn a lot here and Im sure I will have lots of questions! Thanks

Hi! I've stopped by this site from time to time over several months and decided to join to ask some questions.
I first became intrigued by lock picking when a coworker showed me how easy it is to pick the wafer locks on our desk drawers. I've done it a few times when I've forgoten my desk key.
I'm also a landlord and frequently need to change locks. After watching the hardware store guy rekey a lock for me I just HAD to learn how to do that myself and bought a kit from ebay. Now I do it myself because it's fun!
I love the information in the forums and the high level of particiation.
