Hello, I just bought a set of Southord rakes/picks and have practice picking some locks for a hobby. I currently have a problem that I posted about a stuck deadbolt.

hello everybody, i've been reading the site for a while, it's full of great stuff. i got into locks through escapology, and out of escapology through locks. i love to think outside the box, and make tools to do jobs. ps i'm sick of the bad press for paperclips, i could find you hundreds of locks in a city that will open with just one clip, but like all tools they have their limits and you must use them correctly. ps they're handy for holding my payment cheques to my payslips.
a tidy locksmith, picks, up his rubish

Hello everyone at LP101. I've been picking for awhile but I would still call myself a begginer or "noob" as I'm still slowly progressing and getting better but practice makes perfect right. I'm looking foward to learning new things here and putting them to good use in my lockpicking skills. Right now I'm picking with some homemade picks made from a hacksaw blade "curtousy of Pyro's video" and soon hope to purchase some new picks from lockpickshop.com. Just wanted to say hello and nice to meet you all.

Brown Dwarf here. I've been picking locks off and on for six or seven years. Mostly padlocks, with some trigger locks (discouragingly easy) and door locks.

Although I use profile picks and the standard South Ord and Majestic picks, my favourite remains the South Ord slim-line set.

HELLO ALL

My name is Knocker and i am a newbie. Working on the close protection circuit at the moment but am looking to do a locksmith course as soon as practically possible. Can anybody recommend a good one that will teach me from scratch up to a decent level. I want to know everything!!! Looking to do auto locks too with mblocks in the not to distant future. Anyway i've waffled on too long.
Hope to get some response.
Cheers
