Lockpicking for the New Millenium

Postby wizardofoz » 5 Jul 2008 14:22

I watched this last week, and I am afraid I didn't like it!
The first thing I noticed was the terrible music...and then the poor state of all the locks that were being demonstrated. Some of them looked like then had been in a war!
OK - the bypass techniques were good to see...but I have tried to find the "push button" combination locks where he does the springy pin thing and I tried out 13 of them last week, and none of them worked using that method....
I also thought the repetition was needless....once you have seen the technique in action, OK to see it once again, but not again and again and again.
All in all, there are better quality clips to be found on various places on the net.
Sorry David, but just my honest thoughts!

As a rank beginner, I found this DVD useful in learning how to open simple locks. I've been playing with some 5 pins and 3 pins and it's helped me open the 5 pins. It's more than possible to use other free resources to learn how to pick but it does help to see someone do it.

I have this DVD and it was an excellent resource when I was just starting out. It would be a boring watch for professional lock pickers but if you want extra help starting out, think about getting this DVD. It's really good for those of us who are visual learners.

I'm new here but I have to say, having had the pleasure of meeting David Storm on several ocassions, I can tell you that 1. He is the real deal, and 2. he is a very nice gentlemen. David is never too busy to take time and help a newcomer or even and old salt with their pick fu or to give an honest answer to any questions one may have. I have David's lockpicking for the new millenium DVD (I bought it from him directly) and I have to say I think it is second to none. Professionally done, well laid out, high resolution, detailed photography, and good explanations on each topic.

David, I hope to see you at Knob Creek in the spring!

Got the dvd myself. It’s a good watch for beginners, one of the better movies I’ve seen.

The video wasn't BAD. Id recommend watching it if you are learning how to pick locks.

The part on impressioning... heh.. it was pretty bad.

All in all its a pretty good video.
