Hi from Sydney, Australia.

I'm so glad I found this site, lockpicking is something I've always wanted to try.
Can't open anything atm :( but hopefully that'll all change after reading the valuable info you have available on this site. :)

Hi, I'm Otto, and I just got into this when my friend was telling me about it then I picked a padlock with pure luck and a couple of paperclips. I am ordering this set of picks, and I was wondering, is this a good beginner set?

Hi guys. My name is Zac. I've always been fascinated by locks and the Locksmithing trade. I'd like to make a career out of Locksmithing, and hopefully I can get some good information to get me started here. From what I've seen so far, I don't think I'll be disapointed. :) I'm ex-Navy, and currently in Wisconsin working in the Wind Industry.

Hey all, only just found this site, but I have been browsing around and it is pretty cool, and really helpful. Started picking a while ago but have only just got my first proper set, finally no more home-made sanded down saw blades haha.
See you around =]
