Hi! I'm David. I am a professional locksmith and run a locksmith company in Denver, CO.
I'm also a co-founder and instructor at The Locksmith Academy, an online locksmith certification. Throughout the years, I've got to use my skills on a daily basis to help other people gain entry to their houses, business, cars and safes. I've also trained many lock pickers and locksmiths who are now using those skills to support themselves and their families. Together with my locksmithing partner Itay, we bring 10+ years of experience in lock picking to this course
I still remember how amazed I was when I first learned how to pick locks many years ago - It feels almost like magic to the bystanders, but the reality is that there is an exact science behind how it works. I'm passionate about helping people learn about lock picking, and taking the knowledge to the next level via video and the internet. We teach the methods in an easy to follow step by step formula that guarantees your success.
Lock picking is a skill anyone can learn.

You too will be amazed at how simple lock picking is once you are exposed to the step by step method waiting inside. I genuinely believe this is the best lock picking course on the market, and if you disagree I will happily refund your money.

Great learning new things

By Ross Kaplan on 12/20/2020

This was a half-decent introductory course for beginners who know nothing about lockpicking, but there are dozens of free resources on YouTube and other places that give FAR more information than this paid course. There was absolutely no mention of security pins, no mention of different kinds of locks such as Medeco, and no in-depth discussions on important skills like tension and pick management.
Also, the lesson on creating a bump key should be edited down on time, there's no reason to watch someone filing a key down for 7 minutes without talking.

I started picking locks about five days ago with no progress. Every time I try to set a pin I can't because I can't tell where I am inside the lock I have tried using the traditional picking tool and the rake.

The videos are great in their content but each one freezes for about 2-4 minutes and there is nothing you can do about it.

clear and steady instruction

By Shadrik Easton on 10/23/2020

It wasnt a bad introduction, I wouldnt call it a complete guide by any stretch but it was fun enough. I would like to see a more advanced course. I understand its never going to be as intensive as a course you actually attend with kit and lecturers, but I think a more advanced course with homework and practical exercises to be completed would be a good step forward. Another thing, I know its accurate to say youve spent 'a whole hour! :o' doing a course, but it seems a little patronising. the amount of time is not important. the fact youve completed it is. I know Im not going to be printing a certificate that essentially praises me for being able to watch a video half the length of a movie.
