Many leading locksmiths feel that opening locked doors by means other than picking or key fitting is a necessary part of the locksmith's knowledge. Since no two jobs present the same problem to a master locksmith, it is a credit to his ability for him to be familiar with all the ways of doing his work.

Too Amatuerish,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Open Locks Without Keys Or Picks (Locksmithing) (Paperback)
I thought the book too amatuerish, even childish. It was written from the aspect of someone who knows just enough about locks to be dangerous. Some of the techniques just plain won't work or will damage something, though the author stresses caution to prevent such occurrences. If he really wants the reader to be cautious he should tell him to not try his methods.

Old tech, but worth thinking about,
By A Customer
This review is from: How To Open Locks Without Keys Or Picks (Locksmithing) (Paperback)
Much of the content (only 24 pages!) is pretty dated with regard to the type of locks being bypassed, but the concepts are the same today. You can install the best lock in the world, but it has to be part of an overall installation that won't allow easy workarounds. It made me look at my home and cars with a fresh point of view and awareness of the ways to bypass the existing locks. While other security books mention the need to be aware of bypass techniques, this book demonstrates many specific techniques and how they are used. Worth a few bucks as part of an overall security awareness.

Not impressed,

This review is from: How To Open Locks Without Keys Or Picks (Locksmithing) (Paperback)
I read the other reviews but ordered this book anyway. Like many Paladin Press books, this information was dated at best. While a couple of the concepts can be used, don't buy this book to learn how to do these things, only buy it if you are trying to complete some sort of collection. Far better books are out there and a much better value.
