I'm actually surprised that no one else had taken that name until now. :roll:

I am sorry if my name offended people. I don't mean to be arrogant. It was the first name I came up with. Perhaps, I will change it in the future. I am not trying to get off on the wrong foot with anyone. I am just here to see if what I know and done could be useful. As far as if you can make the keys using clay and plastic. I would be willing to make one and send you a sample key.
As headhunter ceo stated, it wont work on the newer models. How we have gotton around this is videotaping others putting their keys into the locks. Taking that video home and anaylizing it. By taking the contours of the key and measuring it against the teeths position you can determine where to file.
Of course this wouldn't work for a locksmith. This is just how we did it. For those who dout this. If you give me a impression of the key hole and a picture of the key I could make a replica in less than 5 hours.

actually one of the sites I read on my search for mazola parties suggested a product from nasco called J lube. Apparently for use in Veterinary Obstetrics and some crazy human stuff.

AFAIK we're the only site that shows up for Mazola Oil Parties. Mazola Parties gives plenty of stuff though. But remember that oils attack latex, so it's a big nono around condoms. And crisco is for a**holes :wink:
As for masterthief, you sound like you know what you're talking about and you can spell, that puts you above most new members and some of the regulars. You're welcome but it might be a good idea to change your name, as it'll soon be read by a lot of people who've never read this introduction. I'm a bit doubtful of your abilities like many others, because I've seen too many locksmiths who've had exceptional picking and impressioning skills... when it came to Kwikset, Weiser and similar paperweights and I'm doubtful because I haven't seen a lot of subtle approaches when criminals deal with locks.
But I've also seen some very clever tools and techniques from recent or former criminals, so I'm looking forward to having you on board.
Have a nice time and don't touch any postings that don't belong to you :wink:
It's not the tools that open the lock. It's me.

I dont think a "mastertheif" should be on this site, just my opinion Im just to keen on giving out information to someone who was and still could be a theif, as if they are caught they can blame the sight, hence the end on lp101.....I dont like, Sorry

I think you might be missing something. Masterthief is on the site and he's probably been here already for some time. This is a public forum after all and if you visit some of the more shady places of the net occasionally, you'll notice that people over there are paying attention to us. Masterthief was honest enough to say where he's from so everyone knows whom they're dealing with. I even like his name, now that I think about it, as it's the honest thing to do. I'll be careful when giving out infos to him, just like I'm careful with nearly everyone else on the site.
Maybe he'll become a valuable member, then he should be treated like one or maybe he'll fail and just go away. Until we find out he's just another newbie to me. Btw, this would be the first criminal lockpicker I meet that isn't a locksmith. At least criminals don't give you that whole "I can't give out this info because it might be abused" story.
It's not the tools that open the lock. It's me.
