Some things may be pick proof, but everything can be bypassed....

Okay, I'm huxleypig (not real name) and I been lockpicking for about 3 or 4 months now. Lost count after about 8 as to how many I've done now but i love it. I reckon i done about 200+. The wafers on garages are nice and easy!!

Hello there. I'm new to the Locksmithing community as a whole, and wish to gain a little extra knowledge and networks on the side. I'll be peeking in and out of topics once in a while.

Hello to all,

I've been lurking lockpicking101.com for a few months now, and have found it to be very informative and fun. I did register sooner as I found all my questions allready answered. Just got hold of a Dremel and some hacksaw blades, so you will be seeing another "first pick set" post soon.

Thanks to all who have contributed to the forum,

Bitpusher

I'm new to this site, not really to picking. (started a few years ago and then stopped until last week)
If you have a pick, why use the key?

Hi folks,

I've taken an interest in lockpicking recently and i'm considering taking it up as a hobby. (I blame all the James Bond movies I watched as a kid) :lol:

I should have a few questions for you all in a few days after I finish lurking.
