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

Hi,

Just found this website a few weeks ago. Great wealth of info here. I don't usually have much to say, so will most likely lurk in the background and learn from the wisdom of others. Glad to have found you guys!

Helo. I am from Wausau Wisconsin. I have needed a new hobby for a while and I figured I would try some lock picking to see if I like it. I have only tried a few cheap safety boxes and desk drawers. I hope to learn alot and I hope to see you all around.

Hi everybody.

l've been picking off and on as a hobby for close to 20 years, but only on my own - with no real instruction. I've been lurking here for about 2 weeks, signed up about 5 days ago.

I've been reading everything I can find here in my spare time. I've got a few ideas to submit, but will wait until the opportune moment.

Great info on here! Glad I found the place. Now I can learn how to do it right!

Cheers!
