Lockpicks through the Mail Legality

[RockInBlack]

Do the sites really care if you're a certified locksmith or whatever? eg.lockpickshop.com

[Shrub]

In a word no but if they didnt have such wording they would open their rear for any kicks gogin,

Our very own site sponcer is lockpick shop and offers a discount to our members by putting the coupon code in lp101,

That said proper locksmith tool suppliers are strict and you will need to be trading to get some of the more involved tooling,

Most places don't really care at all. Even with companies like Peterson, they have sold pick tools to many of us on this site with no questions asked most of the time. If you really want to play it on the safe side, you can enroll in the FB course and then place your order with whatever locksmith tool company. Seems like most places accept orders from students of the FB course. I've asked both Peterson and Hawley Lock Supply if they would sell to me and they said if I can show proof of enrollment or diploma they will.

if all else fails watch a vid. and make your own starters to see if you even like the hobby. Unless you already have/do then i would go with lockpickshop.

I wish I would have know that code to get a discount about an hour ago.I just ordered my first set. It was a 20 piece set for $54. Oh well im still happy to get it.

totsie, you would've only saved five dollars, but hey, its 5 extra bucks to spend.

Every little bit helps. This can turn into a very expensive hobby for a lot of us if you keep on wanting to learn more.

Peterson doesn't give a crap if you order from them. I am a minor and not a professional locksmith, but they still sent me picks without question.

Same here i bought from lockpicktools.com and they did not ask for anything but in the legal terms it says that by placing your order you are a bonofied locksmith,automotive dealer,etc.
