Hello everyone! Before I ask these questions please keep in mind im COMPLETELY new to lock picking. :D

Does any have links to pictures of the inside of the most common locks? Like as if the lock was see through. I would like to get to know how locks work,etc.

Why cant I access the *Advanced lock* forum?

Basically, any info to help me better understand whats going on inside a lock, and how they work would be greatly appreciated! :D


Thanks guys!

Don't pick lock you rely on or they will get mucked up and you will end up homeless for a few hours.
If all fails, use nitroglycerine.

if you want to know how they work try pulling one apart, when you do take note of how each part of the lock works and how it works with the rest of the lock. they are not as complicated as most people think, just brake it down to individual parts, you will work it out
