Hi all. I used to be pretty good with a pick but became more interested in bypassing high-security and electronic locks. However, I've bought another pick set (sold my old one) and will get back into it. Nice site.

I've been reading the forum for months now. Joined last month though. There is a wealth of knowledge here and the guys who run this site have done a great job. The only thing I can do is back up what's on every other thread...SEARCH BEFORE YOU ASK. You won't have to wait for a response to your thread as most of the questions have already been answered. Thanks Varjeal, Chucklz, CitySpider, marso and others (not trying to exlcude anyone), you have provided not only insight, but also a few laughs to boot. Keep up the good work.

Awesome site

Postby myname1960 » 21 Mar 2004 10:34

Awesome site. I have jumped all over the internet looking for lock picking information but have only found a drop in the bucket amount of information elsewhere compared to what i have seen so far on this site.

I am a newbie in lock picking and would like to learn enough to make a career change or supplement my current income. I have seen a treasuretrove of information so far and i have only been here for 1 day.

I now think, with me working in a machine shop may actually assist me in making some of my own tools.

Love all of the videos, tips, photos and willingness to help those less experienced in the art of lock picking.

I am looking forward to chatting and learning for all of you. Talk to you all later,

Chris

Hey, im new (obviously)... and quite inexperienced. Im a quick learner and very interested in picking. Currently working in security and looking for a slight change of career. i dont know how i found this site, but for the last 3 days this is where i have been reading and observing. This is a great place for beginners to learn, great info, great company...just... great. Cheers to the creators of this place :D
