Hey,
Just joined...
I've had some minor interest in picking for a while, i've just been a put-something-between-the-door-and-frame kinda guy... for anything that isnt a deadbolt, it works great for me

i have an ID card inside a plastic case that works great on near anything

but i've decided to learn some real skills... :X

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

Hello.

I dont' do alot of the leet speak, so dont' worry.

I am just looking for some new tecniques to picking some stuff, 'cause I find a fun hobby. I don't do illegal things, but just have fun playing with it. I buy a lock, pick it a ton of times, set it aside, buy another, and come back to the old ones every once in a while.

I'm glad to see others into the same, fairly lame hobby.

I hope I can learn a thing here and there at these forums!

Hey all.

I just joined. I've been working out of a local key shop here in Eastern Ontario (Canada), under a couple of locksmiths with over 50 years combined experience, for the last 2 years. I've learned a lot more interesting stuff in the last 2 years than I did throughout my entire time at university. Anyway, they are looking to retire and sell the business, so I am buying it out. One is retiring immediately while the other is going to stay a couple more years and work on salary. I will be taking the TCPL certification test at the TAOL convention in March.

They aren't the most ambitious old farts, neither of them knows a thing about security, so here I am taking the initiative and learning on my own time so I can fight for those big contracts these two lazy bums never wanted. I have already won the local community police service contract, and a contract for a local flight training center. The funniest part is up until now, these companies have been forced to look out of town and pay someone to come down from 100km away. Anyway, I better go back to researching security issues so I can give these guys the best service they've ever had.

See you around.

Hey all,

Can't wait to join the ranks of lockpicking. This stuff sounds fun and cool. This should turn out to be quite an adventure.

Cheers!

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie who is trying to get into lockpicking. I've been practicing with a Mountain Security deadbolt and some Master suitcase locks. The security pins are throwing me off so I hope to overcome that soon. I bought the Southord MPXS-14, and I'm glad I did because the 4 different sizes of tension wrenches matters the most. I still havn't used some of my snake picks, ball picks, or steep half diamonds but I'll probably find some locks those work well in later.

Hey everyone, been hanging out on the forums for about a month, just reading and learning, been playing with a SO MPXS-32 maybe a little much for a starter but alot of tools, i've also played around with making my own home brews out of wiper blades, hacksaw blades, brick strap and tire spokes, alot of fun i need to get a dremel tho it's alot of work using the bench grinder then hand filing to finish lol, havn't picked too many locks just a few master pad locks a master warded few defiant door locks(no longer in use) and tonight i'm going to see about picking up a few high security locks, anyways i think that about \covers an intro

I, of course, am new to this sight and lock picking. I need to aquire these skills for my work. I am in home prservation, and often have to access a property that has a lock with no key. I am tired of crawling through windows or having to break off the door handles to get in. I hope this sight will help me. Rick
