Why My Story Will Shock You… And How After A 40 Year Struggle, I Finally Mastered The Art Of Picking Locks
Updated: 2010
If you’re thinking about buying another expensive book about lock picking, I’m extremely relieved that you’ve found my blog because not only will my story shock you, it’ll certainly save your hard earned money as well as a lot of time…and you don’t even have to worry about having another confusing day when learning about lock picking.
I will tell you exactly why over a 40 year period, I have finally given up from buying product after product, enrolling in course after course. Why? It’s because I found the one product that I needed. A unique product called ‘The Classified Lock Pickers Bible ‘.
My name is Thomas Mitchell and like so many others out there, I spent years desperately trying to perfect the art of lock picking.
When I was a naughty little kid, my dad would always lock my toys inside an old room as punishment. On one of my boring afternoons after school, I decided to go get my toys no matter what. If I remember clearly, it was a very old goal lock. I spent a week turning the knob over and over back and forth hoping it was going to open.
Finally, I gave up and considered that I should insert something into the keyhole to open it. I proceeded to try everything I could get my hands on, from pencils, to wires, to cardboard strips and even other keys. I couldn’t open it. I walked into my dad’s table and saw paperclips. A light bulb flashed above my head and I went to work. After 4 hours of tinkering, I heard a click. The old lock was now open! I decided to lock it again so I can do it one more time. It took me 3 hours the next day. I was beginning to understand it. Little did I know, it was the day that would change my life forever.
The Inevitable Started To Happen.
I was addicted to it. The thrill of picking the locks, looking at them and understanding each kind. There was no lock I couldn’t open when I hit my teens. I kept on studying and practicing long hours to open specific locks.
After a few years, college came around. I would use this skill to impress girls to open their car doors. The hard part though came during my first year in college. My learning about lock picking stopped because I was busy with school work. I couldn’t spend much time to practice let alone read materials. As technology progressed, better locks were developed while I was stuck studying. It came to a point where I couldn’t even open any locks except one of the old door locks of the shed in school.
And that was the point when I realized I had to do something about it.
It was time for me to get help…

I enrolled in 7 day course under a “master” locksmith I met. An hour each day for a week. It was expensive but I thought it would be worth it. He showed me some tricks that I have never seen before but not really practical. Learning from him was confusing especially because he couldn’t explain things right, his illustrations are not visually clear and appealing and there were no exercises for me to practice with. It was a complete waste of my college money.
Over the years, I just kept buying books I could get my hands on and joining mini courses when my time allowed me to.
I was working my way through hundreds of dollars which was becoming a problem, especially as a student.
When I graduated, I decided to pursue this field and eventually became a locksmith. Over the years, I have repaired and sold countless locks and learned how to use modern lock picks. I consumed every information product out there, from attending seminars to even buying courses online.
I finally knew everything about lock picking.
Or so I thought……
One day, I received an email about a product that promised to teach lock picking step by step and boasted to be so good that it should be banned.
I had never heard of it before and because of my recent experiences with very inferior products scattered around the internet, I was initially a little dubious. But after reading some extremely complimentary reviews and learning that the cost was a drop in the bucket compared to everything else I tried before, I decided to give it a shot.
When I look back, I just couldn’t believe that I wasted so much time, effort and money to learn this! All this regret just came when I found out about ‘The Classified Lock Pickers Bible’
With all my education over the years, I have never seen such a detailed product as this. It even has videos to teach you at the same time when you are learning. The tricks in this book are unmatched by any product out there period.
And here’s why I recommend it.

The reason why I recommend The Classified Lock Pickers Bible is simply because it taught me stuff that I have never ever heard about even after 30plus years in the field.
It explained everything in a detailed manner yet straight to the point from beginning to end! The videos accompanying the lessons were also invaluable.
If I were to start over again and I had this, I would’ve saved ten of thousands of dollars!
To put it into a test, I asked a friend of mine to read and study this and gave him 3 days. We met and I asked him to unlock the Schlage lock I use for my basement. To my amazement, he was able to unlock it almost instantly.
Now you have to agree with me that this is astonishing. Just imagine, in less than 5 days you can pick your way through any locks! No matter what kind it is.
In my opinion, this is way more superior and far more effective than any of the other products I tried. Obviously each one is different but The Classified Lock Pickers Bible has worked extremely well for me and my friend. The best part is you don’t need to wander around aimlessly from book to book, website to website, video to video. All you need is to follow the methods and watch videos. What could be easier? You don’t even have to pay $2445.75 (you know who you are) for a 5 day course that’s totally not worth it!
Anyways, whatever your situation may be, I hope you’ve found this information useful. Just a reminder, no matter how old or young you are, if you want to learn how to pick locks, then there is no better time to start learning than today. If I had known about the The Classified Lock Pickers Bible earlier in my life, I would have been an expert locksmith long long time ago and without wasting my time and my money on all the other “so called” lock picking products out there.
I wish you every success!
Sincerely,
