Does this have anything to do with your massive bike sale thread? JK haha, i've tried a few times, but just enough to get into my rocket box when I forgot the key and got to the copper mtn parking lot.

1)One time only
2)Started because i was locked out of my piggy bank
3)Piggy bank
4)Home-made pick and rake

Aparantly bumping is quite successful also. Theres a vid of an 11 yr old girl bumping a lock on yootube

The MIT guide to lock picking is 49 pages and in PDF. Put out in 91, its one of the older lock picking guides. Its one of the best and most detailed too. goes into the mechanics of locks a lot as well as picking through them. download it, read it. you'll be stoked.

started out with this guide as well, crafted my own tools out of thin metal sheets, its so exhilarating when you manage to pick a lock :)

I used to pick locks all the time when I was a kid. This one time my dad jokingly offered me to drive the boat if I could start the engine without his keys. The look on his face when he heard the engine roar, priceless.

I have a PDF guide for beginners, just haven't gotten around to reading it. Super valuable skill.

I get into my house with an old credit card sometimes. Does that count?

I`m looking at picking this up as well would be a little more convenient than having to carry all my home made picks around, they also have some other cool stuff on the site like lock guns and car door jams.

bought myself a southord, fairly nice reviews and definitely a lot better than using homemade picks to get into things i forget my keys for.
