Hello,
I'm a CNC Machinist and Police Officer in South Louisiana. I've decided to look into lockpicking to go along with some of my other regular training. Thanks for hosting this forum as I'm sure I'll find it quite helpful.

It's a real pleasure to be here. This is my 1st. post, & I just wanted to let you know that I've only been reading the posts as a guest for a few weeks. I have learned a lot from these and want to thank you all.-THANK YOU! I'm new to this addictable trade. I have always enjoyed working with my hands, Locksmithing is GREAT! I just wish I could work my way up my street to see how many locks I could open, but I think I would have some legal problems if I did.LOL's This is a great informitive place, and I THANK YOU again!! for letting me be a part of it. ALSO!! so you know, I run off web-tv and sometimes have problems as this does not have the capabilities of a puter. So PLEASE bear with me if I can't do some things. I'm hopeing I can get this post on now. We shall see. T/Y

muha ha hahahahaha im a nooooob. weeeeeee. cool site. im from russia, this sunday i went 2 work but 4rgot my uniform, so had 2 use som 1 ellses. then at the and of my shift i went 2 my loker n poof no key, i started searching n found a hole in the pants of witch i wasnt aware. so i had 2 break my lil padlock . then after work i got a new 1. and 4 som reason i started searching lockpicking. then did a tension wrench n a feeler from paper clip, oh men i dont even remember where i read what i need 2 pick a lock, anyway paper clips ware my idea, but wornt springy. n started pickin n poof my new lock opend ha ha !! how exiting.
then on next day i bought hair pins couse i know they more springy, n poof i pickd the lock i broke on work, then i used safety pin oh thats somthing... springy n thin weeee. but till yesterday i couldnt pick 1 small padlock smallest i had. i tryd 2 days 1+ hour a day, n yesterday i even took it 2 bed with me couse i was dertorment 2 pick it, so i was falling asleep with the lock in a dark room, was picking it based on touch n though maybe the lock is so bad quality that it destorts on half way on aplying tension, so when it comes 2 stop the iner pin is already passing the hole and all chances to pick the iner pin n unlocking the lock r over. so i started picking the first pin b4 the tension wrench comes 2 a stop n u pick next pins. so thats 3 padlock pickd by a noooob. muhahahha
