What's up guys :lol: I know my user name is lame, but i thaught it was funny when i was typing lol...one of those things you find funny, but regret within seconds...ah well - can't have it all :P

so erm... i'm not too new to lock picking... i started coin magic, moved onto close up (not card tricks) then escapology...loved it! got bored of picking handcuffs, so i thaught i would try picking the padlocks and chains i eventually bought... couldn't do it... tried again after managing to open my money box, suitcase padlock, and lock on the window (one lever lock - it was nothing :P )

managed to open every lock without a manufacturers logo on it... went to www.toool.nl and they said you guys were helpful, so i erm...came here to prove them wrong :P nah... need some help really...

If your new, introduce yourself here. Other posts/threads will be deleted as I see them from now on.

Regardless though, let me be the first to welcome you to the forums.




Reading this again, still brings a tear to my eye. How many fledgelings have left the nest since this thread started? The world may never know. :shock:

Hello to all

Postby briandugas » 11 Apr 2006 23:12

Just wanted to welcome myself to the group. I know this will sound odd, but I'm not that interested in picking locks. I'm more interested in re-keying locks. See, I'm a real estate investor, and I'm always having to change locks. If I could just rekey the locks, I wouldn't have to trash them. The local home improvement stores won't rekey a lock unless you buy new locks. So anyway, I think I'll get into picking too. It seems too irrisistable. I love a good challenge.
