Hello All,
I have just recently moved from Ohio USA to Sydney Australia. While unpacking I found my old lock tools at the bottom of an old box. I had moved the same shoe box along with me for years. I used to be quite good with them 20 years ago. I tried them just for fun and either locks are tougher here in Australia or old age is creeping up on me. I am happy to have found the web site. It should keep me reading for a long time.

hey, get hold of JHL on this forum, hes opened the first Locksport International (L.I formerly LSI) group in Australia. not sure about area but have a look in the "locksport local" forum and hes about.
What kinda of locks have u been tackling there. from what ive herd you will have a mixture of Euro, American and Chinese stuff. I would love to see a picture of your tools. compare them to what we are using today. I assume the basic design would be the same but even so.
All the best and welcome to the madhouse
John

hey guys, im also new but i love this stuff, i hope to possibly even become a locksmith someday but for now its a hobby/interest. i like being able to access an area people think is impossible and think since they lost their key they will never get their stuff back but then i am able to get to that area and retrieve their belongings for them. there is no better feeling then helping someone especially when it involves locks.

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
