Lockpicking is lots of fun! Anyone can learn to pick many of the locks we use every day in our lives. The Lockpick Workshop will be an on-going hands-on environment in which participants can learn all about how locks work, and how to open them. Lectures and lessons will be conducted by experts in the field from The Open Organization Of Lockpickers (TOOOL) as attendees try their hand with locks and lockpicking tools. The lectures and lessons will include: how locks work, techniques of lockpicking, fabrication and modification of one's own lockpicking tools, and more!
The mission of the Open Organization of Lockpickers is to advance the general public knowledge about locks and lockpicking. By examining locks, safes, and other such hardware and by publicly discussing our findings we hope to strip away the mystery with which so many of these products are imbued.
