Locksport International (a hobbyist group dedicated to promoting lock picking as a sport) has released a colorful (some say ‘comic book’ styled) guide to lock picking. Actually the guide covers a lot more than just that. It has sections on how locks work, how to disassemble them, how to re-pin the cylinder (change the working key) and even how to make your own lock picks. It also admonishes the reader to strictly follow the lock picker’s credo:
“You may only pick locks that you own, or those to which
you’ve been given explicit permission to pick by the rightful owner”
You can find the entire guide on the LockSport International website at: http://locksport.com/LSIGuide/lsiguide.pdf
