.:: Keypicking :: Anything And Everything For Locksmiths, Hobbyist Lock Pickers, Locksport, Lock Picking, lockpicks, cutaways and Security. Simply The Best Lockpicking Forum Around!

Hi there, I'm a new member from Canada. As you can tell by my username, I love Sargent locks. I also quite like Corbin, Schlage, Yale and others.

I have been messing around with locks for 20 years, although I am not a locksmith. I learned master keying by printing and studying sample charts from a master keying software website while in university. I figured out KBA, sub masters, etc by trial and error, mostly.

I have several master keying systems in use, most are just to play around with or personal use, but I have set up and maintain two at church.

I have an eye for detail and a keen interest in keyways, cylinders and blanks. I quite like keys with interesting, almost artistic bittings.

Other areas of interest are light fixtures and classical music.
