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 joined the other day my name is Chris and i have been picking locks off and on since i was 8 I'm 24 now. I have the southord mpxs-32 that my mom got me a couple years ago and just ordered a tubular pick and a snap gun. I'm going to try to teach myself and maybe go into the business. I'm going to school now for HVAC and thing being a lock smith would go along good with it if i was to start my own business.

Dear Sirs,
I found your site by accident, checked out a few tutorials, did some searches and thought wow! looks like a good informative site. I then register and log in, post my hello and BAM!! I'm told that I'm yelling, I'm told that I'm being rude, all because I don't type like you do. I have said nothing foul, vulgar, or insulting. I guess it's time to leave.

Hi my name is JJ I'm a sagitarius I like long walks on the beach......J/K :lol: . I've always been interested in L.P. when I was younger but never had the opportunity or resources. Just recently I had that same urge and since I'm deployed I have plenty of time to practice. Well I think the site is great and full of info. I picked my first master padlock in less than 10 min a couple of days ago, which surprised me because you would think it would be hard but it really isn't as hard as you would think.

Typing in all caps is considered "yelling" on the internet. It is hard to read and is generally thought of as rather rude.
