I've lurked for long enough! Very nice forum- lots of helpful and knowledgable folks - thought I'd get 'legitimate' and make a contribution or two.
I was a practicing locksmith for a distributor and service shop in Cleveland in the late '70s, joined the Navy and recently retired. Things have settled down enough to get back into really enjoyable things, lockpicking without 10 kids and a soccer mom supervising overshoulder being one of them.
So here's a first 'contribution', a sea story! Every once in awhile our shop would get a lockout call like this: "I, ahhhh lost my keys to my new Cadillac Biarritz, and it's ahhhh on East 21st and Superior and ahhhhhhh I'll be waiting in the TipTop club on the corner. Ahhhhhh, just make a new set of keys and I'll be ahhhhh-waiting inside for ya. An extra 20 bucks if ya get here in ten minutes." Oh, yeah. We are ON the way, buddy!

And you've just established yourself as "Weird, in a very unorthodox way" in my books.
And I wish to invest in this "Peanut Butter' product of yours...

Hey y'all!
I would like to thank the moderators and creator of this site for keeping this forum such a well organized and useful resource for lock picking! I am currently a sophomore at the University of Vermont and live in Berkshires in Western Massachusetts. I am a beginner and became interested in lock picking when my fellow freshmen floormates and suite mates (I lived in a suite!) at UVM would lock themselves out of their rooms. The locks in my residential hall were lock pick and bump proof. I eventually figured that since the dorm doors could only be opened on the inside when locked, I needed to bypass the lock entirely if I wanted to open it. Thus, I brainstormed and came up with a copper wire bent like a "Z" to pull the handle down on the inside from the outside. It worked!  Upon researching more about bypassing locks and lock picking I found that "my" technique was actually very widespread and there was even a video tutorial on how to do it made by an MIT student! Well that's my backstory. Can't wait to pick my first lock![/i]

Welcome!
VT is my home state, I used to work at the Hospital right across the street from you. Now - you should know that we have a pretty tight ethic on when it's ok to pick and not. Basically - never pick locks you don't own and never pick locks in use (or bypass)
That said? Congrats on building a solution to a problem. That's a huge part of what locksport is all about. We have a lot of unique tools that have developed right here on LP101.
Welcome, and enjoy it!

Hey all, I stumbled across this site and I am very interested in learning about locksmithing/picking. I'm from Tally, FL and I'm in the medical imaging industry.
I have an old mosler-safe and although I could call a lock smith the challenge to open it is to entriguing. I'm not here just for that though, I hope to be useful.

hey there Phonix
i just finished learning how to make shims
its pretty cool, but what i want to do is where and how do
i make it in the higher leverls of lockbreaking
i know im a new comer, but it looks pretty easy when
you really just sit down and read and learn about it, its simple
since i just signed about today, can someone teach me how to make
a pinpick out of something simple, like a paperclip or pin/?
the tools are i dont know what form they have to be in
if someone can send me pics of diagrams of picks and what they
look like when they are a finished product, that will be really cool
thanks
