Hi all,

Lock pick noob in training here. Lots of good information here, looks like i'll stick around.

Just went and bought a set of 6 stainless steak knives at wal-mart for 50 CENTS!!!! that's right. So i bought 4 packs. I made my first couple of picks and will post them in the "make your own pick" section.

Im a fire fighter and we are always getting calls for opening doors. But our way is ............well destructive. So i figured i might be able to use this skill at work sometime.

Hello,

I'm a Marine stationed out of Okinawa, Japan. Been interested in lockpicking for a while but never really had the time to get into it. I just got thrown into a new job (barracks manager) and have had a lot of time on my hands latley. Resparked my interest since I'm pretty much the super of the building and theres some rooms that the master key won't even open. :?

Hello everyone. I am new here and am developing an interest in this hobby quite fast. I am an amateur by all means of the word, but am a quick learner. My first 14-piece set is on the way and should be here this week or next. So far I have been practicing tumbler locks with two paper clips with moderate success. Well I look forward to learning a lot here!

A well bent safety pin makes an excellent tension wrench, and will continue to after your set has arrived. Welcome to the forums.
