Hi. I'm just dropping by to see if anyone can help me with my bike lock!

by **SinceFallen** » 24 Feb 2005 15:58

I just joined a few hours ago. i have only managed to pick a few file cabinet locks....but i am trying to pick a master No.150, i am not sure if that is a good one to start with, but i have got nothing to lose.
By the way: Great Site!

Hello I just registered...

I have a new custom pickset in the mail and working on collecting locks right now....

Will probably make my own pickset onced I've played with the one I bought so I can make good tools.

Hello

I'm KjeXz, if you wonder what that means it's a remake of the norwegian word kjeks, which means cracker or bisquit. Not that i'm a cracker tho. :)
My real name is Lennart, i live in Oslo, the capital of Norway.
On my past time i crosstrain in the martial arts muay thai (thai boxing) and grappling/submission wrestling, as well as doing some powerlifting/weightlifting. That's squats, deadlifts, bench presses, military presses and power snatches, for those who know what im talking about. :)
At school i learn about multimedia applications such as adobe photoshop and pinnackle edition, to make and edit movies and images, and intermediate levels of webdesign with dreamweaver and flash. :)
I used to smoke marihuana before, but it was ruining my training so i cut the usage down. Now i haven't been toking for a half year. Tho i might do that once a month or so, but not at a rate that slows down my brain's functionality...
Recently i got another hype at lockpicking.. i've been interested before, but then i didn't have a visa card.. So now i ordered a 14 piece lockpick kit and a book called "a visual guide to lockpicking", and i hope to learn this art so i can show off to my friends and make new ones through this society and others. :)
Oh, and the personal info huh? I'm 19 years old, turning twenty next january the tenth...

I'm looking forward to get my picks in the mail (and hopefully my thai shorts as well) :o) so i can get started with this whole new thing to learn...
Well that's it from me... Talk to you later all. :)

Been reading the posts for a few days and thought that I would sign up. My search originally started with trying to get info to change the combination lock on my safe. I noted the website and thought, I got to get back there and read a bit. And what great information there is here. I have always been the one feller that the guys in the shop come to in order to open their tool boxes when they forget their keys for the day. But I never made it into a hobby, it was a challenge once in a while. But after reading all of the different methods available, I understand now why it has become a hobby for the members here. Cool...

Hello all,

I've been away for a few months and I thought I'd say hi again. What with work and school and all that I had to get away from forums for a bit. Now I have a bit more time, and I can't think of a better place to spend it. I've made a couple fun lock toys in the last couple of months and I'll try to post up photos soon. Also, a friend and I are setting up a metalworking shop (I'm contributing a lathe and he's buying a new cnc mill) so hopefully some cool tools will come out of that.

Hi I need to pick teh lock on my Vending machine at work. It has taken my 50ps and not given me back anything (infuriating) about 50 times so now I want compensation. How can I pick teh lock of a vending machine, without professional tools?

Will it be the same afterwards?

I don't think you should pick the lock on the vending machine; this could get you in a very awkward situation.
What you should do is contact the :roll:

........what do you call it in english......... :roll:

maintenance-service of the machine (normally there is a phone-number on the machine) or contact the janitor of the building, or whoever is in charge of the vending machines.

by **rayman452** » 26 Feb 2005 10:40

Breaking into vending machines is not what is taught here. I doubt you'll learn how to pick such a lock in a week or so, considering their either warden or tubular. My school has a warden lock I believe...so I dont know if I should advise them to change the locks...Ill get a picture sometime soon, some on advise me. If you really want your 50 pence, dont go to that machine. I would have learned the first few times, and never gone there again. WE dotn teach you how to break and enter here...

Agreed. Welcome to all and I look forward to reading your contributions to the site.

Wow, I'm blown away, what an excellent collection of knowledge and resources!

Allow me to introduce myself. I'm a 30 year old (ouch! I hate to say that) graduate student in English Lit from Philadelphia.

I've loved taking things apart, and, sometimes, putting them back together since I got hooked on MacGuyver in fifth grade (and yes I know the 'lockpick made from a lightbulb' doesn't work. When I was 15 it took me an entire box of 60 watts to figure that out. Don't ask). Actually overall I'm much better at taking things apart than putting them back together, unfortunately. Most mechanical things in my apartment are partially to completely disassembled.

I just got into lockpicking about a year ago, and aside from the fun party trick of showing friends and neighbors how insecure their Kwikset doorlocks and Master padlocks are, am now looking for more challenges. I'm taken with the whole thing, kind of like playing chess with the bloke who designed the darn lock. Or poker. I'll see your four pin and raise you six!

Anyway, I've enjoyed reading the information here, and look forward to contributing. Please feel free to metaphorically slap me if I make classic newbie mistakes, and in return I'll try to restrain my urge to request simple instructions to breach bank vaults because I think that would be soooo cOOl.

Best,

Erehwesle.

Oh, I just loved that introduction.

Class and sarcasm. I am indeed impressed.

Dig deep enough around here and you will find me murdering Shakespeare along with a few others.

Welcome to the forums, and have fun.
