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

Greetings all. I've been an amateur lockpicker for about 30 years and recently was alerted to this site. I'm sure I'll learn a lot here.
Cheers!

Welcome all,
I hope you are all enjoying the site as much as I do. Just remember two things:
1) Search for answers before posting a question.
2) Only pick your own locks, and not the one's you rely on (front door, car door, safe).
Here are some helpful links to information you need to know and want to know:
New Users start here--

Product Review thread- Good when deciding what picks or tools to get.--

Test thread- If you’re not sure how to post or you are trying out a new signature tag. Post here first--
viewtopic.php?t=1065
If you are thinking of posting digital pictures Review this first--
viewtopic.php?t=10367
My favorite, DB's list of LP101 tutorials with links--

Thanks and remember pick responsibly,

Hi, I just joined today. I love to work on anything mechanical and being a locksmith hobbyist would be ideal. I also work in the telcom industry, so if you have any questions in that regard then please ask.

Hi 'nuther newbie here. Actually, I've been here lurking under the special name of "Guest" for a while. Finally decided to make myself legit and register so I can ask some of the questions I've had. Looks to be a pretty good group of folks here.
