This Weekend’s Project

I’m going to learn how to pick locks.

I bought everything I needed off of Amazon:

  • One “DINO 8-Pc. Lock Pick Set” (no longer listed on Amazon, but you can see it here)
  • A copy of Locksmithing by Bill Phillips
  • One Kwikset Single Cylinder Deadbolt
  • I’ve also got a copy of the MIT Guide to Lockpicking and a few other documents.

    Hopefully by this weekend I can be good enough to open the deadbolt.

      Lock picking is obsolete. Get yourself a ‘bump key’.

      Not earning enough at the IT job? Looking to make some quick cash robbing storage units?

      Actually bump keys don’t work on all locks… so they’re not a universal solution.

      As to why I’m doing this - why not?
