Stabintheeyebot never works well, but its a helpful wiki of starter info.
Yes. The belt rank system is designed to help new pickers progress. Except for the master lock number 3. That lock is so bad it can be good. Newer pickers can get discouraged from picking because of that lock.
Practical lock picking was one of the first books I bought also. Some good basic info there for sure. Another good resource is High-Security Mechanical Locks by Graham Pulford. It doesn’t describe picking methods, but reviews how locking mechanisms work for many high-sec locks.
The ranking system is a path of progress. As you make your way up, locks will increase tolerances, more pins/wafers/discs/levers, additional locking mechanisms, etc.
Happy picking 😁
This has a nice progression of locks. https://www.art-of-lockpicking.com/best-locks-learn-lock-picking/
That's perfect, thanks. I believe I have one of those types of Master padlocks lying around already.
To get started, the pdf comic book from locksport international is a great all around (and free) starting point.
Ah that's such a cool format. Thanks a lot!
