THE ART OF LOCK-SMITHING

Saturday, March 18, 10 a.m.

Class size limited  due to need for personal instruction.  $5 of class fee is the cost of the  tools you take home.  (Additional tools available to purchase)

In this introduction to the art of lock-smithing, you will learn how a pin tumbler lock works (the most common lock on doors).

A pin tumbler lock is the most common lock found on homes. Understanding the inner-workings of a pin-tumbler lock, including how to re-key your lock and how to pick your lock are valuable pieces of knowledge while working toward self-reliance.

Our class will take you through the details of the pin tumbler lock and you will learn how pin tumbler locks are picked open. You will work through the process using locks that are super easy to pick through locks that are very difficult to pick. By class end you will understand exactly how this process works and you will find success opening several locks without keys, using only bypass tools.

You will work through various steps of difficulty from a single pin (to get the feel) to a 5 pin lock with a difficult pinning order.

We’ll look at high-security locks, pick guns, plug spinners, and other basic locksmith tools.

You will also learn how to proceed to more advanced studies in the field of lock-smithing.
