Greetings lockies,
I've been checking out LP101 for about 4 months now, mostly interested in Europa; particularly España locks. Those lockies who know Spain, can testify to the general frequent practise of drilling by many "cerrajeros"!
So, check out my prof. My main agenda is to bring NDE to España, for resd. and automotive, via the co. that currently pays my bills.

I am in a heavy R&D mode now mainly because i come from USA where most locks are cake (even automotive)! Quite the education i have received in the last few months. :shock: I have also produced a couple of training vids on using pickgun, and the "BELL" (i know not NDE, but sometimes....).

Anyway, sofar this forum has helped me a great deal and I intend contribute what I can very soon. :D

Regards,

MD

Hello all. I've lurked a bit and decided to register.

It seems like a really nice community you have built here. There's alot of knowledge here and everyone seems very friendly.

I'll be wearing out the search function for awhile!! But I thought I'd say howdy. I'll try to contribute when I can.

All right? Andrew here, new to the forum (today) but not new to picking. Not an expert, not even particularly good, but want to get better so thought I'd sign up.

Hi, my name is JR and i'm a preforming magician from Oregon. I've been picking locks for about 9 years now and am quite addicted to it. I started picking when i wanted to be an escape artist, but lock manipulation quickly grew into a hobby itself. I'm not an expert, but i can definently find my way around the inside of a lock. I came upon this site while looking up how to open combination locks, as they have always frustrated me. Hopefully, i'll find that information here eventually. Well, time to go look around!

Hello All,
I've been lurking here for a couple of weeks and finally decided to join in. I've been a mechanic for over 30 years and always had a passing interest in locksmithing. My interest in this was re-kindled the other day when the wife and I found ourselves locked in an inner hallway after hours at her real estate office. Both doors were self locking. I managed to pry one open with my pocket knife but it got me thinking again. I dug out my long forgotten Dyno Kwick Pick and started fooling around again. I found this site and I think you guys are great. Hope to be around for a while to learn from and share ideas with you. Thanks JF

Hi all, I have just recently discovered the art of lockpicking and have had some small victories using my own picks made crudely but they seem to work well. I cant wait to read posts of tips and experiences from other noobies and professionals alike. Great site and nice layout, thanks mods
