Book Reviews of Visual Guide to Lock Picking (2nd Edition)
Book Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
The pictures are fantastic and the explanations are superb. It covers picking warded locks and making impressions for them, raking, picking and bypassing pin tumbler locks, impact and vibration picking (pin tumblers) and more (I didn't need the wafer lock bit so I didn't read that). It explains how the locks work internally and provides clear cut away drawings to illustrate. It explains the different kinds of tools you may need and how to use them, plus pros and cons of each. This is an excellent resource for picking locks. There is a section on how master keys work. Although I now understand the concept, I don't think I could just go out and make a master key - but I am pretty confident that I could pick it.
