After years of playing around with locks, I've finally joined a group of like minded people. What a great and informative site!
Over the last couple of years I've taken a real DIY approach to lock sport, from making picks and tensioners to my own lock bypass metheods and some quite different methods of entry. I think the real ethos behind lock sport is a basic puzzle solving methodology, something which I really enjoy.
Any way guys like i said I am new, hope i posted this in the right area.

Yet another newbie has stumbled into your midst
After I spotted a table with some 5 piece lock picking kits at a local gun show I got interested.
I love to teach myself new skills and I enjoy a good challenge.
I purchased the PXS14EZ kit from lockpickshop.com last night with 2 day shipping. It's shipped so I should have it by the end of the week. I'm really looking forward to giving it go and learning something.
See you all on the boards!
