I ordered my first set of lock picks on June 18th of this year (1.5 months ago), along with a few locks to practice with. I've been able to pick the Kwikset deadbolts that I have, but up until a few days ago I've never been able to pick my Master Locks, which are supposedly one of the easier locks to pick, and one that lock picking folks often tell newbies to start with. It is so gratifying to finally pick this lock.
Anyway, I decided that the achievement would spawn the first of my posts on lock picking. This post is just some eye candy to show the tools I've been using, and the locks I've been practicing with. Later I might post a brief introduction to the mechanics of lock picking, as well as a log of future achievements.
On to the pic[k]s!
