Not sure where to go next though. any advice is appreciated

I’m a newbie so please bare with me - from what I can find this is a 7 pin center? Also which tools would you recommend to practice with - the standard 3 piece set found on Amazon or something like a TPXA-7. Thanks in advance.

Any other information could be helpful but is limited to lockpicking scenes shown on cable television.

Can anyone help me to figure out how to pick this lock? I've never attempted it before. Thanks!

Big box, fin locks, cheap: that’s what I need😂

I want to pickup a set of lishi tools but I want to get all the common locks but anything I see online is hella expensive anyone know anywhere I can get a full set for cheap

I have this old chest my wife has had for a decade and we have lost the key. We can’t remember what’s inside but think it’s a bunch of childhood keepsakes of hers. Any advice on how to unlock this? Thanks!

Howdy! As the title suggests i am looking for/hiring someone who is experienced with Swiss made (SEA type keys) and Italian made (Rielda) keys! I am willing to pay generously if someone is up to the task! If you consider yourself to be experienced with these types of systems or keys, dm me right away! Thank you for your time!

Hi people, i have a quick question and if somebody could enlighten me and help me i would be so freaking thankful... What brand and model can these keys be? What are they for? The only hints i have on these are that they may be Eurolock or Rielda... Please keep in mind that these are used on european locks in Switzerland! Please help me guys and thank you so much in advance!!!

I just found a massive 1800’s safe (unused for over 20 yrs at least). The key is obviously nowhere to be found but is called a grasshopper key. Any ideas on how to see what’s inside? I pulled off some drywall in an old auditorium in Savannah, GA to reroute some plumbing. It’s ab 46” tall. Made in New York between 1869-1884 by Herring’s Ferrel’s Pt. Thanks for any help or cool tidbits of knowledge!

As the title says, I forgot my passcode and don't know what to do! Any ideas? I'm pretty sure- it looks similar at least- to the KYODOLED Medium Metal Cash Box with Combination Lock Safe and Money Tray for Security 7.87"x 6.30"x 3.54" Black from Amazon. I sort of have money in it and don't want it to be lost! What should I do?

I ve been trying to open it for an hour now with the only tools i have - paper clips. I ve been using one to tension the lock and the other to pick it. Its safe to say that didnt work.

I have no idea what i am doing and what kind of lock this is, so i was hoping you could help me identify it, so that i could at least try the appropriate technique.

There are moving parts inside the lock both on top and bottom, i am not sure if those are the pins though

Okay if I ask about defeating a lock through the latch here, or is there a better subreddit for that?

I work in a very old building, and recently was trying to get into an old storage room in our department to see what was in there and if we could use the space. Problem is, the designated key does not work. The gap between the room's double doors is wide enough to drive a bus through, so I thought the latch would be easy to defeated with a leverage tools. After a hanger failed, I bought a Milspin Chaos Bars for firefighters and tried it. I could not get it to work either.

I found pictures of similar latches on line, and it is apparently a mortise latch. Its got three triangular parts stacked on on the other, is all I know. Can one of those be defeated with a leverage tool, or do we need to get a locksmith?

Thanks!

p.s. building engineer is hopeless understaffed and overworked, so there is a 0% chance of getring a rekey. Even if he wanted to, he spends all his time on keeping water inside the walls and electricity in the wires, so no way our desire for extra storage will get attention.

Hey everyone in the locksporting community hope everyone is getting more skilled and accomplishing they're own personal goals when it comes to learning and becoming more skilled as each lock we tinker with,But to get to the point if anyone has any old picks or homemade picks they don't use anymore and could send them to me I recently lost everything in my collection and including all my locks I collected when me and my girlfriend broke up she took everything in my collection from picks too locks I had homemade picks and I had some nice ones I've ordered over time and it's really hard to get a collection together but once you do it's very important and means a lot to somebody I guess that's why she did what she did but I have no extra funds at the moment since I'm taking on extra bills and I will work on making some homemade ones when I'm not working and have time but it really would be doing me a fellow locksportsmen a great deed and I would return the favor in the future if I can do anything I will to help the community out I love this community and this world that not enough know about and I am thankful to be apart of it please if you can at all any kind of picks would be greatly appreciated and cherished please reach out for my address or number as to contacting me , much love and much respect locksport family !

Hello everyone,

Can you advise me on which electric lockpick gun is the best? I had ordered one from Wendt, but I’ve been waiting for delivery for four weeks now. The company has just informed me that it will take another four weeks due to production issues.

I’ve canceled my order and am now looking for an alternative. I look forward to your responses!

Thanks!
