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

I've always been curious about lock picking, but have only just recently begun to learn the art. My first experience with locks happened when I was 5 or 6, and tried to open my dad's corvet with a stick...that was also when I learned of the exsistance of locksmiths :shock: .

Anyway, I hope to increase my lock picking skill, as it is currently pretty low :cry:.

First timer...first lock

Postby lats » 5 Apr 2007 23:07

Have been reading here while waiting on my 14pc. Southord Pick Set to come in, now that they've arrived I immediately picked my computer desk drawer lock a number of times and thought I'd now officially introduce myself. What a feeling to successfully pick my first lock, no matter how trivial!!!! Thanks for the encouragement everyone to jump into picking, looking forward to learning more.

Bought a No. 3 Master Padlock today to try something other than my desk but I have yet to get it open...any helpful hints? Currently using tension wrench and diamond pick. Thanks!
