This site is so great. I'm new here. I'm far from getting any lockpicking tools so I decide to make ones myself. Thanks for all your help on the subject of homemade tools. THANKZZZZZ A LOT!

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. Cause everyone should HYSF as well as there Pick-fu.

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).
Keep it legal.
Cheers,
UWSDWF

Hello LP101!! Great site. I've been into locks for most of my life and I'm very happy to have found this site. I hope to find help here with picking pin tumbler locks because my skills are seriously lacking, particularly with regards to locks with pick-resistant drivers.

Hi all,
Just joined today. This is a fantastic site with lots of very helpfull posts for newbies like me.
Been interested in lock picking for years but only just found time to look further into it.

Well, some weeks ago I decided absolutely that I was going to become a career locksmith and this forum has been extremely helpful in getting me started, so now I'm a member. I have some experience and I've always enjoyed the work, so I might as well start making some money (eventually) by doing it. I'm looking forward to learning from all of you. Thanks for taking the time to set up and maintain this site so noobs like myself can get a little help and a leg up.

Hi all,

I've been toying around with picks for a couple of years now, but never managed to get too far. Thus, I made the commitment to practice, and to learn how to do it right. Been reading the site for some time now, it's an invaluable resource. Thanks!

Hello everyone ,
i am new to this sight, (with a sense of amazement that its been here for this amount of time & i had no idea) but not to the industry.
its a profession i love & would not be happier doing anything else, unless it involves insane amounts of money for twidling my thumbs.But i dont know much about politics!
heads up to any auto guys out there as that is my specialist field, aswell as com &domestic, i dabble with safe locks but have light years of practice ahead of me (its always about time isnt it).
Hope to be able to have some input,
all the best Andya

hi all

Got interested in locks recently after a mate bumped a lock for me. Got a few keys and soon had bumped the majority of locks at home and relatives houses.

I quickly thought, boring, and started reading sites with alternate methods. Fascinated.

Can't stop, too many threads to read lol

[dragonriot]

I just wanted to say hi officially... I've been lurking for a while, and just recently started picking. I've had a little bit of locksmith training, but beyond that I'm a n00b... I'll probably be asking lots of questions in the next few weeks...

-- I know how to RTFM and use that little button with the word that starts with "S" up in the corner, so I'll try my best to refrain from reposting questions that have already been asked.

[tristramin]

I guess I'm in the forum. This should be an interesting thing to be tied in with.
