hi mate it might not be wise to pick your house door as its a lock which you rely on to secure your house, apart from the fact you might surprise yourself how bad it is you could break something inside it then youl need a locky to come fix it for you, id recommend getting a couple of padlocks and a few cylinders to practice on. happy pickings bud!

thnx ill try that advise...

It is great advice from mr_chris79.When picking lock some damage can occur. The springs or pins can get fatigued or damaged. This can reduce to life of the lock and the last thing you want is to be locked out of your own house on a rainy or snowy day.

Buy some locks and if you damage it, throw it away and get some new ones. Ask your local locky or maintence guy for old locks. You'll be suprised at what gets thrown out.
Good luck and enjoy

Try making picks out of wipper inserts or saw blades they work perfect. Its a waste of time to try to pick locks with hair/ Saftey pins and you will learn a lot more with the proper tool in hand.

Or if you aren't the 'handy' or 'DIY' type, then Lockpickshop our sponsor has some great deals, and if you're within the US, the shipping is minimal.

Use a old lock, never a new one if your messing around, the first time I picked a old deadbolt it was cool but after that experence, I paced my pick gun and picks in a place of Hi esteam
