Howdy :)
I am completely new to the art of lockpicking. I always had an intrest in it never really a reason. Until now..
A few years ago I bought a Brinks home security lock box at W@lmart. It is just the simple box and takes a short black key. Well over the course of a move, I lost the key to it. Is there an easy way to pick this lock?

I did a search here before I decided to post but didnt find anything relevant to what I need to know. So my bad if I am repeating a question that every other n00b asks :)

If it helps me any, I do have another one of these boxes and still have the key for it. Would the key to the second be of any help?
Thanks for any light that can be shed on this

Europunk in Africa

Postby EUROpunk » 17 Oct 2009 16:34

New to Lockpicking, was always interested but didnt meet a real lockpicker until i was stationed in Ethiopia Africa. Once he smoked my MASTER in less than a second (no. 3, which took me days to accomplish) i knew lockpicking was an art. bought my first set a very nice Peterson set next day. made my account today and look forward to lots of picking. im currently looking for an American to work on (my first "hard" lock).
