My name is Solomon, and I am a pickaholic. Actually, my name is Mike. Solomon is the handle I use on various forums dedicated to picking. And this is my guide to picking pin tumbler locks. The most comprehensive one you're likely to find, I might add. I've put together everything a newbie could possibly want to know, all in more detail you could ever ask for.
This isn't just another "How to Pick a Lock" thing. This is an over-the-top detailed account of everything I've learned over a period of 2 years obsessively picking locks. In that time I've spent an hour on average picking, every day, whether it be a pile of new locks or the same old I've picked 100 times before.
So grab yourself a coffee and start learning.
I'm writing this because there are a lot of people out there with 30 different books on picking, who can't open or still rely mostly on luck. It's not that books don't explain things properly, cos they do, and with enough practice that's genuinely all you need. But I was new once, and I know what it's like to want more and more information ore detail. And that's something that all the other out there is sorely lacking .
Everyone develops their own technique, but you have to start somewhere, and besides the theory there isn't much out there on specific technique. I for one would've loved this back in the day, so here it is. Detail overkill. If you wanna learn how to pick locks, and this isn't detailed enough for you, then watch our videos.
As well as the really meaty stuff, I'll be covering a bunch of common topics/questions which I've noticed crop up on the forums a lot, so pretty much anything you'd wanna know as a newbie will be covered here.
