I hope I didn't ruin your day. :wink:

Hey everyone, I've just started to get into lock picking rescently and am glad I stumbled upon this site. I'll try not to both you guys with alot of stupid questions, and will be sure to use the search feature before I post anything =) I've been interested in security for as long as I can remember, before it was primarily network security, but I'm now finding the concept and practice of lock picking to be of great interest.

Yah, but now he's driving it. $55.00 at tubs 'r us, but with the rims, paint, chrome & lowriders, it's worth $55,000. :twisted:

Hello all

I'm new to internet locksmithing. This looks like a great site. Are there any other good ones out there?

Hi to all.

I've been using this site for tips for a couple of weeks and greatly appreciate the information available to non-professional lockies.

A little about myself, I'm a soldier so have a never ending supply of lockers and padlocks to practice on belonging to friends (always with permission) I've got a slimline southord pickset which seems good however could do with more ergonomic handles! i also have a snap gun and some bump keys purchased from e-bay (before they noticed I guess)

I'm pretty effecient at alot of padlocks although my recently purchased level 4 Yale brass padlock is just laughing at my picks! This is also surprisingly the first (and only) lock I've opened using a bump key. This reinforces what i've read about them working best on better quality locks regardless of the security pins.

thanx again, great job by all.
