Hi All,
Brand new to the site, but not to picking. I started in '86 or '87 with a pamphlet sized book called "The Illustrated Art Of Lock-Picking" - still have it today. I'm pretty fast with common locks, but don't have any experience with the high-end or exotic stuff - looking to change that eventually. Finding Schuyler Towne's blog re-kindled my interest, and ultimately led me here.

Hello everyone, new to this forum, is there such a thing as an unbrakable toilet cubical door lock? I have been asked by a client to install a catch on a toilet cubical door that won't ever break (he read about it somewhere), anyone have any ideas?
Cheers
Andrew

Hey! The television show Leverage, and the copious amount of time I had post-exams I inspired me to take up lock picking. Started with paperclips, moved on to a simple pick and tension wrench. I'll be getting my first pick set soon!

Guten tag!
I was bored last week I was just lying on my bed and remembered a lock in my closet and couldn't find the key so I decided to try and pick it. I tried using bobby pins, paper clips and even tried to make my own pick from a hack saw...Just ordered my first pick set from Southord a couple days ago and can't wait for it to arrive. Don't know how long this obsession will last, but I am very determined to pick that lock and I will not cease until I do so! This site looks pretty cool and I can't wait to learn more. Happy lockpicking everybody!

Hello everyone I am brand new to locksmithing. I have always have had an intrest in the trade. My plan is to own a tow truck and mostly work on the automotive side of the trade. I know I have a long ways to to go but I am thinking it will be worth it.
I live in Cloquet Minnesota, if anyone lives in the area or knows of anything going on this way Please write me. I kinda live in the middle of nowhere.
