Welcome,
For all thoes new to the site and lockpicking, LP101 is a great place to start.
Take a look at the new users section, first and don't be afraid to ask any questions just remember to try a search before posting.

If you're looking for locks to pick, buy some but, DO NOT PICK LOCKS YOU OR ANYONE ELSE RELY ON
I repeat DO NOT PICK LOCKS YOU OR ANYONE ELSE RELY ON, they can and will break, then your house/car/safe/chasity belt is vulnerable or unable to be opened (think: emergency situation).

Cheers,

Hi bomb, and Welcome

I dont get the feeling like there are pins there are but I dont feel them. Like My deadbolt I can feel them click in etc... When I did my friends it felt like there wasent any resistance?

Bomb, you said can, but I think you ment can´t!

Here is an advice, keep picking, because it is normal not to feel anything in the begining.

Keep picking....
I could say, put more tension, but since you are new, I assume you have enough tension

Romstar, he can say it like no one else, it goes something like this:
Your fingers, does´nt feel the pins yet, they are not trained, you need practice, practice, practice, then after about a month, your fingers will start to feel the pins more and more.

Not to forget patience, patience, patience!

Ya. I feel my pins in my door. I did it like in 10 secs the first time, no doubt I can get into my own in secs. But like others the 1 with key holes in the door and some other deadbolts. I feel mine but I couldn't feel my friends I dunno maybe I needed more tension, but today (10/7/06) I picked my first master lock Kinda small medium size and I picked it in bout a min, then a second time and another time Then I picked this bigger lock and only opened twice with luck. I like put it to the back and like "racking" it pulled it out real quick given/letting off for the tension and sha-bam! Open I was excited. And for the tools I'm getting some soon. Just gotta order them. $40 worth. I like to start out big

Thanks If you can help me out there Maybe I just gotta pract more like you said....

The feel is different on most locks. On some the key way is slanted on a angle so you won't feel any pins unless you angle your pick to reach the pins. On others there is so little play on the pins you could miss it entirely at first and think there is no pins. Just keep practicing!

Ohkay thanks! . I love this I get replys quick I want to buy some picks but my problems is that I cant buy them. I need like a credit card but I dont have 1, yea person Im living wit has 1 but no money on it, and I dont wanna wait for him if it takes to long. I would like to send money in like a envolope.

I made my own lockpick. Pshh Outta the hacsaw blade, and fill'd it down to size. Takes foreva and afta doing it, it broke and today I just redid it. Looks like this ... the lil' [ , ] is a lil indent in the sawblade. But it takes foreva. and my rench thing is made outta the end of a pen clip thing. Hurts my hands sometimes, first pick was a hair clip thing.

Thanks

You should fill out your profile so we know where your from.

You don't need a credit card. Just a checking account and debit card with a mastercard or visa on it, just have enough money in your checking account to cover any purchases.

I wouldn't waste my money on any more bump keys! No fun, and major rip off.

Good luck

Yea, (New York, :not city)

But the bump keys are pretty cool I just like how the picking works I love it!
