Editorial Reviews

Product Description
From the author of the classic Secrets of Lock Picking comes this new book on devising quick and easy lock-picking tools on the spot, using common household items found in the average home, office or garage. Using detailed photos and exploded drawings you'll learn how to open any lock in the world, including getting in a front door with a safety pin, opening magnetic card readers and much more.

About the Author
Steven Hampton became interested in locks and electronics at an early age. At 14 he acquired a set of U.S. Air Force electronic training manuals and began building various transistor circuits by scalping radios and junkyard TVs. At 17 he was making his own lockpicks and was considered a master lockpicker, and by the time he was 18 he'd invented the magnetic padlock, which is still on the market today. After a stint in the navy, he studied digital electronics and worked in many technical fields. He also became interested in the martial arts, studying Tibetan White Crane kung fu, jujitsu and wing chun.
