I personally know of one person who bought a lock from the store, learned to pick it, then put all the pins back in the correct order and returned it. I do not condone his actions. But he was really poor at the time, and feels really bad about it! :)

Hey all, im relativly new at this, been doing it for a few days, read the mit guide, checked out webpages, but what i find most useful is this web site, just thought i should let yall know that, its very helpful and informative. Its also got a nice design.

On another note i picked my first real lock today! Its a four pin "Task force" (thats the brand name i believe) padlock. I was so excited lol. Then after picking it several more times my pick broke inside the lock. DOH!
anywho it was only a 3 dollar lock, no biggie. :)

Have i mentioned i like this site. . . .

Hello, my name is David, I am new to the site, and also to lockpicking. I have been picking locks for less than 24 hours, but I am very excited, and I hope to learn a lot.

So... um.. if your folks (?) don't know that you are looking to get pick tools, how do you suppose they'd feel about one of our members sending them to you? Maybe you should just ask them

And, welcome all new members! :)
