1) I'm not a locksmith. Is the possession of a Lock Pick legal?
Because it would be impossible for us to know the legalities existing in every jurisdiction in the United States (not to mention other countries), we cannot even attempt to give a full answer for this question. It is an important one, however, and one that YOU must determine by contacting your local authorities. It is, put simply, your responsibility BEFORE YOU PLACE AN ORDER to determine whether or not you are legally able to possess locksmith tools. In most cases, you will find that there is no problem. Just as it is legal to own a firearm in this country, it is what you DO with it that is the defining factor with respect to legality.
2) Can anyone learn how to lockpick?
Any physically capable person, able to hold a lock pick in one hand and a tension tool in the other, can learn to lockpick. While there is skill involved, it is an easily acquired skill and one that is not restricted to any particular age group. The process is alarmingly straight forward and quite easy to pick up (no pun intended). Practice is what is required, and basic tools that are found in abundance at this web site.
3) Will every lock yield to lockpicking?
Eventually, every lock, if worked on long enough by a qualified and skillful lockpicker, would yield. However, there are high security models that are as close to being pick-proof imagineable. Some of these locks are not worth wasting time on if you want to pick them because the odds of success are astronomically low. The good thing for locksmiths is that these brands, such as Medeco and Abloy, are not found often and are virtually never used in residential homes. You'll find them in government and military installations and banks. This leaves about 90% of the locks on planet Earth vulnerable to the skills of a practiced lockpicker.
4) I never lockpicked anything before. Where should I start?
You begin by purchasing a basic set of lockpicks. Do not make the mistake of using homemade tools because you will learn poor technique and you will become accustomed to the feel of tools that you will eventually abandon for authentic, well made lockpicks. You will find a good variety of low cost sets ideal for beginners at LockpickersMall. Next, you should have at least two or three Practice Locks, with one of them having only 2 or 3 tumblers in it. Again, you can find kits with Practice Locks right here (the best selection on the entire Internet). We highly advise you purchase a stand to hold your Practice Locks, such as the low cost Solo Pick Stand, or better yet, one of the several models of TriPik Stands. Some of our Practice Kits come with the incredibly informative LOCKSMITH'S MASTER RESOURCE, a collection of 3 valuable instruction books in PDF format on CD. With these few tools you will have all you need to become a proficient and capable lockpicker.
5) What should I order as a complete beginner to lockpicking?
As mentioned above . . . choose the lockpick set that best suits your budget, striving for the best you can afford. Best choice is to purchase one of our complete lock picking training kits because they include a pick set, Practice Locks, a Practice Lock Stand, and in most cases the Master Resource CD. Kits are great because you save money over buying the individual parts separately.

7) Is this site operated by a real Locksmith?
Absolutely. The owner, George Robertson, has been a self-employed locksmith for over 25 years and continues to operate a mobile service in Pearce, Arizona and surrounding localities. The electronic books and CDs offered at this site are all copyrighted by George Robertson and reflect a vast amount of in-the-field experience. As a working Locksmith, the owner is able to monitor and industry and select only those tools he himself would want to use in the real world business of Locksmithing.
8) Do you have a 1-Day Rush Guaranteed Service?
No, we are not able to extend a global and absolute 1-day rush service. This, however, does not mean we will not give every effort to ship your order within 24 hours of its receipt. We do this as a general rule (weekends and Holidays are, of course, excluded). The reasons that we are unable to give an unqualified guarantee are easy to understand. Sometimes inventory gets drained suddenly when an unexpectedly large order comes in, or when a flurry of orders hit us for one specific item. If your order comes in right after we sell out, we would be unable to get your order filled in 24 hours. Also, heavy order volume has a tendency to set us back a day or two, though this is sporadic. For the most part, we DO ship within 24 hours, but to guarantee this would be irresponsible.
Please see our Contact Us page.
10) Do you guarantee your products?
We offer only the finest Locksmith supplies available, so we are confident enough to offer a full money-back guarantee on almost everything in the store. The only exceptions are instructional media such as books, CDs, DVDs and e-books that are downloaded at checkout. We cannot offer refunds on these because they are so easily copied. If you receive something you are not happy with, please contact us before returning it so we can arrange a smooth transaction. Postage costs are to be paid by the buyer for returns. We cannot accept items that have been used, so please do not attempt to return used items. Also, as is common in merchandising, we must limit returns to within 15 days of receipt. The exception to this is a return for an item judged to be defective. If you believe an item that you purchased from us has failed due to a defect, please contact us.
11) Is your shopping cart secure?
Our checkout system is protected by state of the art SSL encryption which guarantees security for your personal information. Also, the web site itself is under the watchful and protective monitoring of McAfee Secure (previously known as Hacker Safe), which prevents hackers from accessing anything in our files. On top of this, your credit card information and other sensitive information is NOT stored anywhere on our site or our server. Once your order has been authorized and your credit card charged, the system deletes the actual account number and purges it from the system. You can order via our shopping cart with complete confidence.
12) Will you share my personal information with other sites?
We do not share our customer's personal information, including email address, with ANYONE.
13) Is LockPicking Legal in Canada?
While laws vary by states in the United States, "Possession" of LockPicking and LockSmithing-oriented tools is legal and permitted under Canadian Criminal Code in all provinces and territories. Under Canadian Criminal Law, lockpicking tools, with the exception of advanced key cutting machines, are considered simple tools and it is permitted for one Canadian Citizen to buy, possess or travel with Lock Picking tools at any time. However, it is not permitted to use any of these tools to commit a crime. Lock Picks are considered like crowbars and hammers, meaning that they are legal unless they are used to commit a crime, for example break into a house or trespassing.
Here is what Canadian Criminal Code states on possession of Lock Picking Tools:
351. (1) Every one who, without lawful excuse, the proof of which lies on him, has in his possession any instrument suitable for the purpose of breaking into any place, motor vehicle, vault or safe under circumstances that give rise to a reasonable inference that the instrument has been used or is or was intended to be used for any such purpose, is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years.
