Dude, you say you're interested in lock picking, but it really sounds like you're more interested in nicking something. It makes you sound like a dodgy f*** when you only ask about picks and locks that protect vending machines. First its the van lock and pick, then abloy vending locks, now its bump keys for padlocks.

None of this is considered picking, and it just looks like you're gonna get all this kit to try to steal things. Are you interested in lockpicking for fun as a hobby, or in becoming a lockie?

We don't fancy giving you any more telling offs, but you're not helping your situation...

Update: we have exchanged some PMs, and I think everyone is on the same page now.

Have a good weekend,

@edgey29:

With a grand total of 13 posts made in 5 different topic threads:

-- 1 which was closed because you didn't read and/or understand the B/S/T forum rules,
-- 1 which asked about a very specific vending machine lock which most newbies don't even know exists,
-- 1 which was locked because you went into asking about bypassing a type of lock which is considered advanced,
-- this present thread which given the pattern of your previous posts looks highly suspicious when added up,
-- your introductory posting in the welcome thread which again seemed eerily focused on a specific type of lock commonly found on vending machines...

Yet you ask why "funny things" are being said to you about what you are posting ?

While the benefit of the doubt applies you don't get nine lives with that sort of thing...

Bump keys are available for many types of locks man, just do some Google searching and you can find what you are looking for... Is there a reason why you didn't ask about the specific type of padlock or keyway you were interested in finding a bump key for ?

Here is some free advice to you from another member, take it with a grain of salt if you like, but:

Being called out for the content you post here is something you have to deal with -- by submitting a post you have agreed to be responsible for its content, which you are being informed is questionable in nature and are being given a chance to regroup and do better in the future... Perhaps you need to step back for a bit and do a little bit more reading/surfing on the forum before making any further posts to get a better idea of what the site is like...

Hi folks, maybe edgey29 is just a new guy so interested and excited in lockpicking, and a bit confused of where to start..thanks God, he didn't ask how to crack a safe..and that's make us a 99.9% more suspicious.. on the real side, we dont know him. mr edgey29 you want to learn lockpicking? ask question regarding lockpicking, "don't shorcut your interest, it will just be short live" regards.
hi everyone, im glad to be a member of this very interesting community, our community of locksmiths. i hope i could help others, within my ability, and hope you can help me too, God bless us all fellow locksmiths.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of fun is it to bump a lock? Anybody can do it, it takes no skill (well, maybe a modicum) and there's no sense of accomplishment after doing it. If you learn SPP you have an actual skill under your belt and a great hobby!

Some people just like to "break" their toys every now and then, like cheating in a video game or disassembling a Rubik's cube. I figure this is similar.
