Hi Everyone,

My name is Eric Michaud. I've been on a hiatus from LP101 and a lot of forums for quite some time. It's actually been six plus years of time as a matter of fact. Quite a while in internet years. ;)

So after some much thought I came to the realization that it would be appropriate after my hiatus to sign back into LP101 account to say hi and bring what knowledge I've accrued over the years since then in private capacities and contribute it back to the forums and locksport community that helped me get a leg up in the first place.

It'll be a slow start finding my legs here again as I soak up all the posts made since I've been gone to find a place for me to start contributing, but I really look forward to it and all the interesting discussions we're going to have.

In closing I can't wait to bump into old friends on the forums and all the new faces that have shown up since then. :)

Cheers,

-Eric.

Hello all,

I'm Zach, I'm obviously new to this site as I'm posting here...
I got into lock picking when my manager at work locked their key I their office. Nothing could be done until the door was opened and the other key was on its way, being escorted by the DM, but had a 45 minute ETA. Having never picked a lock before I got a flash light and looked in and tried to figure out how the pins worked while comparing the inside to what most keys looked like. Then I grabbed a small flat head screwdriver (tension wrench) and a few of those two inch paper-clips and bent them straight. Being the hero for once in my life got the lock open before the other key arrived. My boss thanked me, and then gave me a look as to say "Now we all know who to look at if something get stolen from in here. Mr.locks-dont-stop-me...."

Now I'm working on my house locks with the 14 piece southord set.

Cheers!

[Danielles]

Hello there.
I'm Danielle, I'm new to the forums, I was curious about locks most of my life, I picked my first lock when I was 8 and was kind of easy back then but I get to the point where some locks shouldn't be unlocked.
so anyway I'm happy to be here and learn new things.

Hello, everybody. Long time reader, first time poster here. I've already found this community to be an invaluable resource, and thought it was high time to join.

Hi guys and gals,

I guess I've had an interest in locks, the mechanics of them, and how to get around them for a while, but never known where to start. It's nice to have found a community of like minded people and a wealth of information about this hobby. Having only just started in picking locks (only having got through a couple of cheapo padlocks) I have a a lot to learn from yourselves and I hope to be able to help new people to this hobby here in the future.

Hi everyone,

I've been collecting old pad locks for a long time, but I only buy them if they have keys. I recently passed up on some really nice ones and it's been bugging me ever since. I started thinking that there must be a way to get them open or make a new key so I started looking on the internet and this is where I landed.

Looks like fun.
