Locksport is the ultimate guide to lockpicking and the competitive sport of bypassing locking systems. Written by five champion locksporters, this full-colour, hands-on introduction to the art of lockpicking will take you from noob to competition-ready. You'll learn how locks work and what makes them vulnerable, get a guided tour through the tools of the trade, and follow step-by-step instructions and detailed diagrams to learn to rake, pick, and crack. As you better understand the various types of lock mechanisms, you'll become adept at the craft of non-destructive entry, or hacking the lock without damaging it. Along the way, you'll learn: Basic lockpicking - using tools like tension wrenches, hooks, and rakes to pick padlocks and deadbolts, impressioning - the art of creating a working key from a blank by re-creating subtle marks the lock leaves in the metal, and Safe manipulation - the process of systematically dialling numbers and recording your observations to discover the combination. You'll also find resources for locating locksport events near you, contest preparation strategies, and advice for navigating the competition environment. Whether you're a beginning hobbyist looking to level up your skills or an advanced lockpicker eager to start competing, Locksport is the master class to get you there.

Nigel Tolley was picking locks and subverting security as a schoolboy, long before he had ever heard of locksmiths or locksport. However, this wasn’t a career path, and so university called, and a job as an aerospace engineer, with a side line of databases and coding, became his daily reality. He escaped before dying of boredom, but it was close! After quitting the “big corp” world, he spent a year learning absolutely everything he could about locks. This is before the internet was quite as valuable a resource as it is today, and rather a lot of self-teaching and figuring things out happened – and most locksmiths didn’t even pick locks. As a locksmith for around 17 years now, he has watched as attitudes have changed, and has now taught thousands of people, including many other locksmiths, to pick locks at various courses, conferences and events. He has lectured and presented at everything from corporate ice breaker events to, of course, the various LockCon. Under assorted NDA he has also consulted with lock manufacturers and designers, and found many an exploit for physical security devices. A dedicated maker of many things, but especially tools.
