Welcome everybody,
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 RELY ON
I repeat DO NOT PICK LOCKS YOU 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,
UWSDWF

They have some good, easy to understand tutorials and animated pistures.

Its cool theres young people in here. I wish i would have known what i know now. Knowledge is power, the sooner you embrace it, the better and smarter you will be.

I'd say the same as was said just read and learn, and don;t be an idiot.

Good stuff :P

I wish Digital-Blue would distribute his excersises/tutorial also. It's awesome! then again, people should just link to it here. This is it's home. This is it:
