This is my first time here, I would like to ask what is the first thing I should do to start to learn? I know absolutely nothing, yet picking intrigues me...

[JackNco]

read all the stickies. specifically Digital_Blues beginners guide

[roundrockman]

Hey guys -

I got into this working at a local HW store re-keying locks, cutting keys, etc. Mainly the locks you see on houses.

Hoping to learn alot here.

[UWSDWF]

got caught eh... sounds like you a thief

[JackNco]

im afraid uve come to the wrong place then. this is a hobby site. not a training camp for criminals.

[UWSDWF]

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
