lock picking i guess? its not that hard and useful
I feel like I need someone to teach me in person. I've watched videos, read articles, I understand the science but can't get the feel.
Have you tried a clear practice lock to pick? You can watch the pins as you get the feel for it. Once you can pick it easily, cover it with painter's tape so you can't see the pins, and try again.
It's purely practice and persistence. No one can take that from you.
I bought a bunch of locks from goodwill and took them apart down to the mechanism, just kept practicing until I got it down.
I've been lockpicking for a year or two, I don't think ever actually used it in the field at all though.
Do you have a goto seller for lockpicking supplies? I would like to learn lock picking but I don't trust the official stuff!
Just buy a southern ordinance kit, they are worth it and way better than budgets kits.
