Just joined up today. I've been trying to find as many resources on locksmithing and lock picking as I can because I'd like to do it professionally some day. I figure the more I can learn on my own the easier it will be later on. Great site!

Just joined a few days ago, but have been interested in lockpicking on and off for several years. I've had success at scrubbing most of the locks around my house, but I've had limited success at pin by pin picking, so I've just bought a removable cylinder padlock to pull all but two pin-stacks from, so I can work my way up from there.

Hello! I'm a new person here and I am glad to find you.
I am from Bulgaria- it's in Eastern Europe and more topics in this forum are unknown to me . I want to learn many things from you. I could show you some interesting locks for safes, but unfortunately I still have no access. I'm second generation locksmith and have a lot of expirience.

I just started the Foley-Belsaw course. I have always been interested in lockpicking.

[Claymore_27]

Just jumped on. So far i have little to no experience, but really enjoy learning the workings of the locks and picking so far, so i thought i'd come on in and learn what I can.

Hi everyone.....thanks for the welcome and incredible amount of info. ONly started browsing about a week ago, and i can see it will take me along time to digest everything.

I am very much an amateur, got interested a while back when i found an old cut away pin and tumbler in my grandfathers shed.......that and my forgetfullness!! By my reckoning I have spent at least $1000 over my adult life ( 8 ish years), calling locksmiths or mechanics to get me into wherever i have locked myself out of. Frustrating to spend 150 bucks to get inside your own home, especially when the 17 year old apprentice opens it in about 5 seconds flat

Joined for the wealth of information here, and for that i thank everybody. Not sure if I have the patience and dedication to learn what seems to be an art, but at the very least I am hoping to educate myself as to my options.

The recent boom in cheap biometrics seems somewhat appealing to me.....i never forget my fingers, and i kind of figure no one will chop them off for an old TV and some OK speakers, so now I am off to see people opinions of those...............

wish me luck.....and again.....a big Thank you to all
