Master No 3

Postby hubie » 25 Apr 2007 20:45

I actually have 2 master #3's. Bought a new one today. I've picked the new one several times just tonight (first real lock I've picked). My old Master #3 is an absolute hooker. I picked it once tonight and it's the first time I've been able to pick it (yes, keyed differently). The tough one has a much longer neck on it. Dunno if that makes a difference.....

Hey guys,

Just stopping in to make my first post and say hello. I got the lockpicking bug about a week ago after reading the MIT guide. I just picked my first lock tonight and it was insane, I never would have guessed it was this easy.

MY FIRST POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HA! well hello fellow locksmiths im 28/m/portland here. love this sight! been shim'n combos since highschool, own cheap padlocks w a paperclip for the most part and just LOVE the give and click when a lock has been picked not opened. i think its using an unconventional method to do a very common, conventional thing.
elated to have found this site and i hope to contribute in some way. not a professional locksmith, but a serious hobbiest!
got skills people............well compared to people who have no skills. :lol:

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
