MrWizard's Practice Lock

Postby XxodinxX » 25 Jul 2015 7:14

OK so this came in the post today, neatly packaged and everything you could need to start off.
The pins were real easy to take out, so I have it down to one standard pin, which I actually picked for the first time.

So thank you MrWizard you have supplied me with my first picked lock.
Once I can confidently pick the one pin i shall move up to two and so forth.
When I have reached seven standard pins I shall throw a few security pins in there.
Just thought I would share with you guys, if you are a newbie and looking for a practice lock then hit up MrWizard.

Thanks for the inspiration XxodinxX I saw that you live on this side of the pond and now I've ordered a lock. Up to yet I haven't managed to pick a lock, I bought a couple of £1 padlocks a laminated one which I can't get anywhere near and one with pins where I'm sure to be on the cusp of opening, but i said that several hours ago.
