The goal behind this page is to provide you with a quick and dirty way to grasp the fundamental and necessary components involved in successfully picking a lock—no more and no less.

However, if you are looking for more comprehensive guides that cover the entirety of lock picking, be sure to check out the Academy and my Ultimate Beginner's Guides to Lock Picking!
