@alice #locksport is a thing. I am rather guilty of the practice myself. Its a nervous habit.

So, I'm starting to learn to pick locks and having fun with it, but I was wondering if there were any other lockpicking and lock sport people on here I can follow?

I'm nowhere near outgrowing my very basic starter kit yet, but it would be good to have people to ask when I've gotten to the point where I can pick the plastic cross lock I've got and where to go next from a Masterlock 3, etc.

(And what tools are worth buying if I want to expand my collection)

#LockSport

@verge We'll be the judge of that, there, Verge.

#locksport

Maximum resistance to picking.

If "maximum" is about 20 seconds, I'd hate to see their less-secure locks.

A U-Haul discus storage lock, still in the package. The keys are visible and hey have a nasty bitting on them.

The back of the U-Haul lock's packaging. Among the listed features is "5-Pin tumbler cylinder for maximum resistance to picking", which has been highlighted.

Just posted a blog about fixing an #ebike for a local bike workshop. The story includes gratuitous battery photos, #locksport #lockpicking as the battery was locked in the frame but the happy result was a working ebike that's now for sale. #biketooter #SolarPunkSunday #repair

Here are the four locks I took home with me:

#AlicePics #Locksport #Antiques

An ancient disc-detainer padlock with a removable shackle.

A small coin-shaped Sargent & Greenleaf Inc. padlock with a key that has a completely flat blade.

An old brass Russwin mortise cylinder with a matching key, both stamped 188. They key has a metal tag that reads "Finishing Rm. D-02-102-1".

Hey Fedi! I have the opportunity to work with @deviantollam and Red Team Tools to have my own lockpick designs and kit on their site! 🤯

If there was a modular pick kit, based on my EDC, with a suitably "Alice-like vibe", at a flexible price-point, would you be interested in it?

Here are my initial thoughts:

Alice's minimal EDC:
[ ] double-sided turning tools (S/M/L)
[ ] slim, teardrop-tipped short hook x2
[ ] sturdy gem-tipped medium hook x1
[ ] double-hump w-rake x1
[ ] tiny case

Alice's expanded EDC:
[ ] warded pick set
[ ] traveler's hook
[ ] jiggler set
[ ] common keys (like TSA007, CH751, FEO-K1)
[ ] common bypass tools (shims, bypass drivers)
[ ] prybar turning tools
[ ] larger case for expanded kit

Extras:
[ ] Deviant's "Practical Lockpicking" Book
[ ] a interchangeable core padlock (w/ easy core)
[ ] spare cores (intermediate x1, difficult x1)
[ ] KiK cylinder holder (A-clip)
[ ] blank stock for DIY tools

(everything listed above is stuff I use *constantly*, in roughly descending order)

For the picks (and some of the extras), I'd like to do skeletonized handles with laser cut designs that folx associate with me (bunny silhouettes, heart-shaped love locks, etc), because I figured other companies I won't name already have the tacticool crowd's tastes covered.

This is, of course, subject to change/tweaking as it develops, but Deviant and I are both excited to make it happen. And of course, of course, y'all know I wouldn't put my recommendation on anything that I didn't test myself and *thoroughly* approve of.

#Locksport #Lockpicking #RedTeamTools

A fun piece of lockpicking kit. If I were still doing physical pentests this would be fun for handing the client a copy of their key during the debrief 🤣

#locksport

Hey #Lockpicking #Experts of Fedi! I have two questions for you.

Several people have asked me to make a lockpicking zine for new folx, and I want to include some wisdom from y'all.

1. What are the top few tools in your kit that have gotten you into the most locks/places (specific pick profiles, bypass tools, turning tools)? It would be amazing if you provided a good quality, closeup photo of them so I can have an artist sketch them.

2. What's some advice you wish you had when you were still pretty new to lockpicking?

Please keep your responses to about ⅛ of a notebook page of text (like a few sentences) total.

---

Here are my answers:

1. A slim short hook, a sturdy medium hook, a two-hump w-rake, and a variety of turning tools.

2. If you can't open it with one of those tools, it's a skill issue. And you're better off learning more about the lock than reaching for another tool.

Take a trek to Tacoma this Tuesday the tenth to tackle the tumblers! We've got our meetup at Church Cantina at 5 pm. Details: https://www.meetup.com/seattle-lockpicking/events/313140352/ #locksport #tacoma

Oh neat, I just picked my first (real) lock. I’ve picked the transparent practice locks before but this is my first time ever picking a proper lock! Cool. 😎 #locksport

Out of the pack pick: 4 Bunker Hill mini brass padlocks.

Why does the camera always add 10lbs...to my hands? 😭 (maybe it's just the reference frame because my nails are so short right now from playing bass?)

#AlicePics #Locksport #Unboxing

Out of the pack triple-pick of Bunker Hill laminated 40mm padlocks.

Thoughts? These locks are worth the ~$1 each I spent on them, but not much more than that. The "4-pin cylinders" that "prevent picking" is a pretty laughable statement. I spent about 30 seconds each, which isn't bad for never having touched this brand of lock before. Worse pick-feel than Master locks, squishy cores that rattle a lot.

My girlfriend and I went out yesterday to steal love locks, then went to get some warm food and drinks afterwards (it was friggin' cold).

We ended up with 28 new love locks¹, a cinnamon roll the size of a large hedgehog, and chai I had to strain through my teeth.

All and all, it was a beautiful day and a lovely experience...though next time I hope they pour the chai through a strainer 😅

¹I went for easier prey because, from the time I pulled my hands out of my pockets, I had about 30 seconds of poking icy metal before my fingers went numb.

Want to pick some locks? How's Tuesday sound? Meet us in Redmond at NW Brewing on 1/20/26 at 7pm for some #locksport fun! https://www.meetup.com/seattle-lockpicking/events/312715920/

And people say Mastodon is hard 😋

Gorgeous antique 8-Lever "Mastodon" steel padlock, picked in ~7 seconds, using homemade tools fashioned out of recycled bike spokes.

This is the second of two beautiful antique locks my partner gave me as a present.

The reason this opened so quickly is because several of the levers are rusted in place, and I bypassed the remaining ones and pushed the locking pawls out of the way directly.
