Hello folks, new guy here, looks like a great place to learn.
I have been considering learning the skill of locksmithing to possibly develop it into a small bussiness.
Looks like I came to the right place.

thanks

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

Welcome to the site. I hope you enjoy your stay and decide to participate often. I ask that you read over the rules and try to stick to them. One of the rules is no chat room lingo such as what is contained in some of your post (cuz i 4got my key). Please take the time to fully type your posts out. This is simply due to the fact that we have alot of members in which English is not their first language and chat room lingo makes posts very hard or impossible for them to understand.

Thanks and again welcome to the site :wink: .

Hi all!

I was just browsing around the other day and found this excellent site!
My knowledge in picking is about non-existing, but interest has always been there. See how a lock looks inside well, you all know what it feels like to see something like that, and it just works!
So after years of fascination, I will finally give this potential passion a shot!

As I´ve been looking around here it sure looks awesome for us newbies with great forum, links, discussions.

Thanks to everyone, making this site awesome!
