Just wanted to say HI

When it comes down to it there is nothing better than manual tools for your Lock pick Set, whether they be retail, homebrew, macgyver style. DIY'ers look here.

Hey, I'm new to lockpicking and I just received my lockpicks and practice lock in mail. I can pick it pretty easily, so I guess I just need to work on getting perfect tension and stuff before I try to pick a real lock.

Hello there. When I train people to pick locks, we start on the real thing. What I would suggest is to buy a few cheap padlocks but make sure the keyway is not too small.

Note though not all locks even of the same type and brand are equally easier to pick. I even have a group of padlocks that are identical and use the same key, and one is a bit harder than the others.
