Not that great. I have learned that many great resources for locksmithing are not that good for picking. I have a huge bill philips book with maybe 1 or 2 pages I can think of devoted to picking.
Read the MIT Guide, or if you are looking for a smaller read, then read the secrets of lockpicking

Well, you asked:

My opinion is it's just not very good.

Check out the MIT guide, like has been mentioned.

Eh, not that great ! I do like the "if you ain't a bona fide student then please leave now" type of warning , that was funny :-)

I can see people sayin "nut's i gotta get out of here quick ,phew that was close i hope the cops don't call round" !

MIT is the best source i have seen , and here of course , and that's it ,just pratice till your hands cramp up and get sore , like mine do :-(

I've just trained my cat to open a simple lock in exchange for food! Anyone else tried this :-)

I found the "how stuff works" site very usefull (well the section on lockpicking anyway) but i never did read the MIT guide, hmm, does anyone have a link to it (alough i can pick, i proberly still should read it)either that or you can all yell search at me to find it in another thread... i think i'll just do that.
If it doesn't seem to make sence, take a minuite to look at who said it... do you still want to know?

How do you teach a cat how to open a lock? :shock: ...Could you explain more?
It is always darkest right before it goes pitch black.

Well , first up you need a very smart cat :-)

Then some well tasty food , and a lot of patience !

I've moved on since then , i now am making nano probes that will go into the lock and set the pins :-)
