You know when your a good lockpicker when.....

[eurolock fan]

You know you're a good lockpicker when you watch a sci-fi show and recognize the "futuristic" key as a plain old Abloy blank.

I know this is off topic but what show was it?

Well, I'm new to this, but for my first few locks I thought it was easy. I now know better, a Kwikset deadbolt has so far matched me and my SouthOrd jackknife. I'm no good lock picker.
Just hope I can pick the ones I HAVE to, if that were to happen.

You know when you're a good lockpicker when you come home drunk, realize you've lost your picks and decide you'll have to use the key instead.

Ahahaha


You know your a good lockpicker when some really hot chick says "want my Assa?", and your excited becuase she is going to give you a cylinder of lockpicking goodness.


Then end

You know you're a good lockpicker when standard handcuff don't cut it for "play time" anymore and you start looking around to order a pair of these:

Season 2, ep. 11, "Adrift," about 20 minutes in...BUT...

...when I checked it to see the time on the scene I noticed that she has two keys in the locks, and the bottom one is rotated away from the camera, giving it a triangular Abloy head shape. The top one, which is the same kind of key, isn't rotated and is clearly much wider than an Abloy, probably a prop. So it turns out I'm a crappy lockpicker after all. :)
