We are often asked what is important when lockpicking as a beginner.
There are a few important points to bear in mind for lockpicking beginners:
The mental approach to lockpicking is just as important as the technical skills. It's no different to archery or golf. Never try to tackle a cylinder when you are stressed or your mind is elsewhere. Otherwise you will quickly realize that nothing works.
Here are some tips to help you mentally learn this wonderful sport:
Relaxation: try to stay relaxed. Stress and tension can affect your fine motor skills and make it more difficult to open the lock or cylinder. Patience: Lockpicking requires patience. Be prepared to invest time and effort to master the technique. Keep reminding yourself that it is a learning process.
Concentration: Be fully concentrated and focused on the "problem" in front of you. Avoid distractions and take time to concentrate on the feedback from the lock.
Self-confidence: Have confidence in your abilities. Doubts and negative thoughts can hinder your progress. Believe in yourself and your ability to open the lock.
Learn from mistakes: Accept that mistakes are part of the learning process. Every time you fail, it's an opportunity to understand what went wrong and do better next time.
Enjoy the process: Lockpicking can be a fascinating and satisfying activity. Enjoy the process of learning and exploring new techniques and locks.
By focusing on these mental aspects and keeping your mindset positive, you can learn and improve your lockpicking skills and get the most out of your personal experience.
Here are some tips that focus more on the practical side of lockpicking:
Mentally, you're ready now. Your senses are heightened and you are determined to overcome the lock cylinder in front of you. Then these tips are just what you need.
Start with simple locks: Start with simple locks before moving on to more complex models. Practice with different locks to develop a feel for different mechanisms.
Only use high-quality tools: Invest in high quality lock picking tools. Inferior quality will make learning more difficult and lead to a high level of frustration. Inferior steel quality (usually too soft), sharp edges and poor workmanship may not lead to the success you desire.
Pay attention to the feedback: Pay attention to the feedback from the lock. Learn to interpret the signals that tell you whether you are making progress or not. Sometimes it's a soft click or the feeling of a click. Over time, you will learn to interpret these correctly.
Keep calm: Stay calm and focused. Lockpicking requires sensitivity and precision, which can be impaired by nervousness.
Keep your tools clean: Keep your lockpicking tools clean and free from dirt to ensure optimum performance. Opened or bent picks should be replaced.
Respect the law: Observe the laws and regulations in your country regarding the possession and use of lockpicking tools. Always use your skills responsibly and ethically. Stay safe, stay legal.

From Bonn to the rest of the world. That was and is our goal.
Multipick was established here in Bonn in 1997 and has had its headquarters and production facilities here on the Rhine ever since.
Why should we leave here? Anyone who has been here before will agree that it is a very beautiful place and that the people are ‘typically Rhineland’, open-minded and friendly. From an early stage, we began to occupy ourselves with a wide variety of entry tools. We tried out lock snappers and core extractors such as the Bell and gathered a wealth of experience with a wide variety of tools. Whether it was a lock pick set or special tools for fire brigades and locksmiths, in the end the door or window had to be opened. In line with the motto, you got the problem and we got the solution.
Many tools, irrespective of hobby or professional, are dispatched from our warehouse to destinations throughout the world.
Opening tool kits for caretakers and locksmiths, pick sets and lock picking accessories for Locksport enthusiasts and Hobbs hooks for specialists to unlock locked safes. There are thousands of different ways to deploy our specialised tools. Our TFG latch plates and key turners allow a closed door to be reopened. QA Pro 2 and our V-Pro core pulling screws can be used to open a locked door. We also offer milling burrs and drill bits for those situations where there really is no other way. Many useful aids such as MICA opening cards, wedges, door latch spatulas, door handle catches and spiral openers, which are all useful tools to help you get the job done. But even if things get a bit complicated, you are in good hands with us. Products such as the Kronos and Artemis electric picks are our top highlights. Anyone who likes to open dimple locks or disc locks will be delighted with the ARES system. For opening windows, we offer you a range of top products from Kipp-Blitz. Favoured by emergency services such as the fire brigade, THW (Federal Agency for Technical Relief) and police. Many of our tools are manufactured in-house. This gives us the liberty to manufacture quickly and in a customer-orientated manner. No lengthy supply chains and subcontractor dependencies.
