lp101 is the authoritative source, but hard to winnow the info from the jumping on nubies posts, so to cut to the chase, try Gregg Millers site or Deviant Ollams site or just look up lockpicking on how things work, these all have nice animations, or drawings.
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!

I agree,this site and LSS has helped me making leaps forward!!!! :D
I recently bought the dvd Visual guide to lockpicking,interesting the way you can see the insides of a lock,for new guys,like me, or girls on the block it,s selfexplaining.

Barely contains anything about the actual art of lockpicking. Its been a while since I read it but as I remember its mostly cheap ways of bypassing locks. Some of the ideas are ridiculous

Our very own Greyman has finally got his book out on the shelves 8) ,

I cant say either way as regards quality as ive not yet seen it but the cover and content looks good and if the posts where its been mentioned on here are anythign to go by it will be a very good book to have on your shelf,

I refrain from any personal judgement on the book until ive seen it but its certainly one to think about, i plan to order it as soon as another one ive ordered turns up,

It can be found in a few places now but probably the brest place to see it is HERE,

Rules and modesty forbid Greyman to post this himself so hard luck mate, the word is out :P

Oi, I just ordered it from them, and then at the very end of the order they said they don't expect to have it available until November. :( At least I'm not being charged until it ships. I was hoping to have it pre-DEFCON.

Great looking cover, probably the best cover Ive seen yet for a lock picking related book. Too bad it comes out at November.
