Locks? What Locks?
This evening I finished reading Steel Bolt Hacking: The Computerman’s Guide To Lock Picking. It is a short book, but full of neat information on how to pick locks, both keyed and combination.
After finishing, I quickly set about making some of my own picking tools. I scoured the house for a padlock. About 10 minutes later I had successfully picked my first lock! This is no small feat considering how many times I have tried to pick locks in the past. I intend to run right out to my tooldbox and get the more challenging ‘discus padlock’ that is sitting inside.
If you are looking for the ultimate in geek hobbies…look no further. The ‘Steel Bolt Hacking…” book is a great introduction and will have you successfully picking locks in no time.
If your the kind of person that is wondering what type of degenerate sociopath would want to pick locks…find out all about it at lockpicking1001.com. I can say, that for myself, it is just about the fun challenge of a puzzle. That which was locked has become open!

hi simon,
i couldn’t find your email address on the site. i’m writing to ask if i can use one of your bullets i found at stylegala on my site?
it’s the bullet of a magnifying glass. i’m developing an online jewelry boutique and would like to use it next to my search box and on a “view details [about a jewelry piece]” link.
