Hi, i'm sort of new, i joined a month or two ago, and just got really into picking. I've had a set for a year, but havent had a wealth of information to read, until i found this site. Now, after about a week, i'm picking locks with spool pins

received my first pick set. 14 piece southord. (PXS-14) <img src="http://www.lockpickshop.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/PXS-14.jpg"><br>
picked my bedroom door "defiant" lock twice. then went to work and picked a donut and coffee donation box. that lock was extremely simple though, probably could of picked it with almost anything small. and i must add there was no money in the box, it was just for the thrill of picking. Lock picking seems like a fun hobby.

I never properly introduced myself.

Hello all, I'm minion. I live in Boise, Idaho. I've a 14 piece southord pick set (only one so far, must get more money) that I've been picking with for a couple months.

I frequent http://www.binrev.com , and would consider myself the learner type that just can't get enough information.

I love the forums, and I'm addicted to lock picking now.

So, thanks for what you have here. It's brilliant.

Hello all,

Been lurking around for a while and thought I would finally introduce myself.
I live near Buffalo in NY and I picked up a set of real cheap lockpicks a few years ago and never really did anything with them, it was just an interest I had. Just saying hi.

Hello, i'm new here.Will start posting more, soon as i get picks and tension wrenches though i already picked a padlock with a screwdriver and neil , but i can't make neil work as tension wrench again so i have to wait for picks and tension wrenches that i ordered (got to send money , probably monday) , i just don't know will it arrive safely because i'm from Belgrade,Yugoslavia country without DC comics and other cool comics and without lock picking tools (at least i haven't manage to find that here , maybe i'll continue in monday or something).
So hello again and can't wait to pick some locks and exchange info with all you real lock pickers.

Hello everybody.

I found this site a few weeks ago and have spent at least a few hours a day scouring all the great info here.

I picked a very cheap drawer lock on my first try, with a hairpin ,small screwdriver and tips that I found here.

I ran out to the car and snagged my emergency wiper that I keep in the trunk. I was excited to see that they had the metal strips that are used to fashion tools from.

I made a couple of tension tools and a snap gun.

I found an American combo lock and an American 700 series padlock that I plan on practicing on when I finish up some homebrew picks and shims.

Im hoping to become efficient at opening master padlocks since they are the cause of many hours of lost work.

I work in construction and we use gangboxes to secure our tools. They are all made to work with the same master locks. Many times I have been sent home because the key went missing and our tools were trapped. It wont be easy since the locks are recessed into the box, but im hoping to be up for the challenge soon enough.

See ya'll around the water cooler.

Geno

Oval, I would not pick a donation box, whether full or empty.
I know that you were doing it for kicks, but if anyone ever saw
you, you would be labelled a lockpicking thief.

Also, if you had have damaged the lock, how would that be explained?

This post doesn't need an answer, it is to warn of rule number one here:

ONLY PICK LOCKS THAT YOU EITHER OWN, OR HAVE THE EXPRESS
PERMISSION FROM THE OWNER TO DO SO.

Happy picking and this site has a search function for all to use.
DON'T post a question before searching. We will know. :shock:

Greetings and welcome to all the new folk. Take the previous advice to heart and PLEASE don't pick locks you don't personally own or have express permission to tamper with.

I have been interested in picking locks for quite some time now, I made my first pick when I was in grade 5 (lots of spy movies influenced my plastic young mind). I am now 32, have had a hacksaw-made set of picks that I made 6 years ago while stranded in a repair shop of the company I was working for at the time. I started using these picks just 2 months ago, while at the same time actually learning how to pick. I stumbed across this site and it has been a huge help. I am able to open a gigantic schlage padlock that I found, along with an abus padlock as well as a whole bunch of inexpensive cheapie locks (Secure is one of the companies, the others are not even stamped). THANKS TO ALL THE POSTERS, THE MODERATORS AND ORGANIZERS OF THIS WEBSITE. It is fantastic. I have learned so much and have been developing an enhanced set of tools and skills.

I probably will not post much, I tend to lurk and learn. Again thank you.
