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

Hey everybody. My name is David and i got interested in lockpicking after my professor asked if anyone could open one of his filing cabinets. I tried but failed lol. I started looking how locks work started picking little locks with paperclips, then made a tension wrench out of a bobby pin, and a pick out bending a hanger and then bangin it flat with a hammer. With this bobby pin and hanger pick i was able to pick bigger padlocks and even certain doors. Yesterday though i just ordered a professional set from southord with 14 piece set plug spinner feather touch tension wrench and auto jigglers. Im very much a beginner and hope to grow as a hobbyist locpicker on this site. Great site love it very much.

Thanks,

hey i just signed up to day. I got to say you guys know your sh!+ but any way . i've alwase been good at building stuff and makeing things. Well i can make some bad a$$ picks so far i've made 28, and im ok at picking the locks around my apartment, but then i tried to pick the lock on my car door... nuthing , i tried to pick the lock on my locker at work ... nuthing... I have a couple of master locks that i was practising on to but i couldent open thoes either, I just dont know which pick to use for all the different types of locks.. so if anyone has any pointers hook me up.
? is one pick better than another? ? do different locks like front doors, pad locks, dead bolts require a different kind of pick?

Im new to lockpicking, living in the UK. Been browsing the forums for a while. Picked 4 padlocks so far (2 pinless just with latches) using a spring and screwdriver, all good fun. Looking to pick locks as a chalenge, should be getting a 9 peice set tomorow. It's like Christmas =D. Look forward to talking to yall. Fish

hey there everyone, new to the site and to the hobby.....doing my initial research, tons and tons of reading to do. Just though I should say hi.


P.S. if anyone in Canada reads this and is looking to sell picks, wrenches or other equipment please feel free to IM me as I am currently unaware of anywhere to purchase these items.


Give me some time to read, read, read and I'm sure I'll be discussing with and learning from most of you.

Well.. I'm 26... and I have never worked with lockpicks before.. I ordered a nice 14 piece stainless steel set from SouthOrd and I think it will be nice.. I find the art of lock picking very fun and exciting.. I have wanted to to it since I as about 8 and never did... I want to learn to pick or bypass most locks systems.. not to do bad things.. I just like the fact I can outsmart things.. any help would be great.. I have read the MIT guide.. I'm in California.. if I like it enough I will even try to get certified if I can do that... though it seems as though there is no cert in Cali... info anyone? thanks.
