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,

I "picked" my first padlock yesterday using a keyring and a part of a pen and it felt good so now i want more of it :)
This seems to be the place to be if you want to learn so i decided to join.
Might be time for a trip to get some hacksaw blades.. :)

Anyways, see you!

I'm a locksmith and escape artist. I am looking for information on historical locks- especially as it pertains to escapology.
