Hi
I have watched some videos and I find it very interesting and fun to learn how to pick padlocks.
But can I order lockpicking tools to Sweden? Is that legal or will the tools be taken in Customs? (toll??) :cry:

I can only open combinationlocks for the time being.... cuz the lack of tools... but i have about 15 different padlock at home i would like to learn how to pick :)

I saw that the moderators recommended the "lockpickshop" site, and they ship to sweden! but.... how can i ba sure that the tools really make it to me... :?

please.. i saw some swedes here.... where do you order your tools from guys? please help me out here...

thanks in advance!!!

regards / Byte

The only thing stopping you with the site sponer is customs. So I would phone them and ask if they would take your picks off you.

I am guessing most people who pick in Sweden like most other places would be locksmiths who get them from locksmith suppliers, or hobbiests who make them.

So Just ask your customs if they will confiscate the picks, and it might be a good idea to check your criminal code to see if it is a felony to possess picks.
Consider me inactive or lurker.

Heres what you do:
Get a locksmithing lisince

This way you can legally carry them reguardless of laws, and I'm guessing that coustems would half to give em back if you got a lisince. Even better. Take a courospondence course. Free picks, you learn to open locks, and a lisince (and a fancy looking diploma).

I'm a yankee, and thats just my guess. Itll probably work, though.
