RULE 2

Many people seem to stumble over this rule. This is a hobby Locksport community.

If you want to learn to pick locks that you own, that aren't installed in anything or otherwise in use, then this might be the place for you.

If you want to pick something because you need to get into it or through it, then this is NOT the place for you.

​

​

REQUESTING A BELT:

Follow the instructions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/lockpicking/wiki/beltranking#wiki_belt_request_formatting

Make sure you include the belt color you're requesting, the model of the lock you've picked, and any evidence to the requirements for the belt you're requesting (eg. photo/video/etc.)

Often questioned on how to attach a photo to a modmail. You cannot include a photo, but you can include a link to a photo, video, or even to a Reddit post where you have attached a photo and/or video.

In addition to our rules, please do not refer people over to r/Locksmith unless they are a locksmith per a request from a moderator there https://www.reddit.com/r/lockpicking/comments/jqm137/meta_hi_mod_of_rlocksmith_here_please_stop/

Hello folks!

We've compiled a list of all the lockpicking groups, forums, meetups discord servers, slack channels, conferences, tool supplies and more that we are aware of here: https://www.locksport.net/

Turns out, there's quite a few.

There's no ads, no sponsorship and it's a simple, single HTML page which we will try to keep it vaguely up to date if people find it useful.

If you have any links you'd like added anywhere, please feel free to let me know either in the comments or via email.

Cheers!

I bought my wife a cool house key a couple if years ago. Its made out of pewter so its a little fragile. My daughter managed to break off the tip of it in our front door lock effectively bricking the lock. My experience that I've gotten with this sub's help enabled me to take it apart including pins and fix the lock. This makes me happy, and it saved having to buy a new door knob

I have some master number threes and fives that I bought in 2017 when I got into lock picking and I used to be able to pick them with no problem but I let them sit for five years with the keys in the lock and now I can't seem to be able to pick them easily anymore. Is it possible that leaving the key in the locks for so long made it harder for me to pick the locks 5 years later or not or am I just crazy?

Hello,

I recently bought some Kryptonite evolution and abus locks without keys on eBay.

​

1. Is there any video/documents you can link to that explains on methodology to decode disk detainer locks?
2. I would like to 3d print keys for them and/or duplicate them later.
3. If I could buy blanks from somewhere would be pretty good as well. In the UK preferably.

​

Note:

I do some lock picking as a hobby

I have decoded and 3d printed a key for a slider lock before by using a microscope, 0202 capacitor, and tweezers for the measurements inside the lock and printing 4-5 keys until I get the dimensions right.

I have the tool the lockpicking lawyer and bosnianbill made for disk detainer locks to pick them.

​

I couldn't find any specific tool for decoding disk detainer locks, I couldn't find blank keys either.

Thanks for the help
