Lock Picking Course Where to now?

What you have accomplished: If you completed through Station 4, then you should have a good grasp of scrubbing. That's a really good start and many locks that you encounter can be scrubbed. If you completed Station 5 then you're on your way to pin picking which covers almost all pin tumbler type locks (except for some high security types)

Now What?:

Improve your speed.
If you didn't complete Station 5, go back and practice pin picking.
This course used only three brands/models of locks. Try other brands and different models by the same manufacturer.
Learn about different types of locking mechanisms - Tube, Simplex, Magnetic, Electronic, or High Security locks like Medico.
Know that picking a lock is rarely the only or quickest way in. A brick through a window is quicker, more reliable and requires much less skill. Understand that physical security requires much more than a good lock.
