    Default Locksport

    Sounds friendlier than lock picking somehow.

    I've been messing around using Chinese pick sets with my eldest boy who's 12. He picked a cheap euro cylinder in 3 minutes last week. It's hard getting him focused on anything but he's really taken to lock picking and is getting a nice proper set of picks for his next birthday.

    But we've done some yale locks, a euro cylinder. Easier than I thought it would be.

    Have a look on youtube for LockPickingLawyer his videos are what got us interested.

    Anyone else into this?

    Thanks to losttoy

    I still pick the odd lock to keep my hand in but don't do it as much as I used to. That's not to say I used to do it professionally.

    Yes me too, I've been practising for a few months now.

    My box of practice locks is getting bigger and bigger.

    Going to start tumbler locks next.

    www.sparrowslockpicks.ca - do some good practise locks with security pins and you can also get pining kits ect.

    also check out Bosnianbill locklab on you tube... you could try uklocksport and see if you can get into the challenge lock swap's ;-)

    I have a lock pick set. I use it mostly at work to get into cabinets, drawers, lockers and cupboards. Done some padlocks, but despite having a few bump keys not yet opened my front door. Kinda scared to fux up the lock lol

    Fancy getting a pick gun. Bought a cheap shit one of eBay, but sent it straight back as the build quality was so bad. Not thought about it since lol
