Hello, I am thegoodbar.

I have been interested in learning lock picking for a long time but have not taken the next step. That will change very soon.

Thank you for the very informative forum.

Pickmaster-

In response to your question:

Yes.


In response to your request:

Have you checked the forums?


Suggestion:

Search the forums first, make a few attempts, then post question if you still have them. You'll get much better responses if the questions are specific.

hi i'm a noob at lockpicking... been trying to pick the locks on the doors to our house.. no dice yet... i've looked at some how to videos on youtube and made a pick out of a bobby pin and fashioned a handle for it out of a plastic butterknife... and i'm using a pen clip for a tension wrench... wish i could afford a real set of picks... anyway.. i hope to learn a lot here... the site looks like it has plenty of information

Danny here. I needed a new hobby, so I started lockpicking. I got a bench grinder and some old hacksaw blades and have put together a nice little set of prison-shank-looking picks.

Hey guys. Had wanted to learn how to lockpick for years now. I finally bought a basic set (MPXS-14) and am starting out on this new hobby.

Well, welcome to the forums, guys! There are some excellent tutorials to start with and if you get hung up on anything there's plenty of folks to chime in with advice.

I still haven;t decided which is more fun - picking locks, making tools, or teaching Keyless Entry. It's all good!

Again, glad you're here!

Hey, I'm new to the forums but I've been picking easy stuff for about 7 years now. I want to gain some knowledge and skill in case of a SHTF scenario.

Hello!

I'm Akos from Hungary.

Before 3-4 months ago, i found a blog in hungary from this hobbi, and i want to try this nice hobbi.

So i go out to the garage, find some padlocks and cylinder locks, make some picks from hacksaw blades, tension wrenches, and start the fun... :)

Not so far I was bought a cheap 9 pieces pick set from dealextreme, but it's not the best I think.

Now I ordered a Southord 22 pieces euro slim line set today.

I was so happy when I find this forum, nice to meet you guys/girls ;)

Howdy!

I was a member of this board a long time ago (under the name "Logosys), but have just recently picked up the hobby again. Looking forward to learning again with all of you!
