Thanks for the glowing review! 🎉 And I'm glad you liked my line on the legality of the pub!
It was rather good!
Where can you get this book mate? Lock Noob didn't mention who published it.
Thanks 🙂👍
@@randommadness1021kindle and Amazon.
@@rickylee2477Just. Bought it. Not a cheap book by quite a bit.
Most expensive book I have ever bought, by FAR!!
@@randommadness1021 same. I was caught off guard by the price. But it’s like 400 pages. So I bought.
It will give me sometimes to read in the evenings .
amazing authors :D had the pleasure to meet them live and they are very nice and knowledgable people
I’m sure the areas you have highlighted that have not been covered or indeed been skirted over could be covered in a second volume.
Thank you for covering this book on your channel (very interesting)
Aahhh, where was this 20 years ago? Just goes to show how this hobby has grown.
I waited till it was trendy 😂😂😂
My thanks to all who blazed the trail so I could walk it.
@@SeeStuDo you're welcome. Be sure to check out all the old lock lab videos. Some great stuff there
@@RAkers-tu1ey oh, I've been diving into the archives for sure. 💚
I know, right? In the end, I had to write it myself! 😂
@@NigelTolleyand we sure do appreciate it kind sir.
Looks awesome! Thanks for the review Ash and have a fantastic weekend mate.
Very nice thanks for the review 😊😊🐱🐱
Wow, what a ride through the book. I wished You spent a bit more time on at least some details, but i am very grateful for You presenting it.
Thanks, Ash.
yes Ash mate great book and video👊👍😊🇬🇧😎
I have whole books on some of the topics. For example, the factory training manual for Medeco is about as long as this book. Certainly, a book on safe manipulation could be as long as this book or more. As you say, there are more locks to explore like the digital locks for doors and safes. Nice review.
This seems like a really good book that I might pick up soon. Only disappointment is the lack of info on disc detainer locks since I live in Finland so the better locks available to buy tend to be from Abloy. Not a big issue since it will be a while before I'm ready to look at even the Abloy classic, nevermind the newer locks.
That was a conscious decision, because there's not a single disc detainer competition (aside from an informal one at LockCon last year)
Looks like a great book - shipping from the US is a bit pricey but probably still worth it - nice to see lever locks in there.
Already reading mine on Amazon, such a great summary on lockpicking, impressioning and safe opening
How much was it mate? Cheers 👍
@@randommadness1021 I pre-ordered the kindle version for 29 euro or something. It's a great read. The physical version looks very nice though, nice colors and great quality paper.
@@aratondisane I bought the paperback off of Amazon. This is how much it cost:
Items:GBP £34.81Shipping & handling:GBP £7.92Total before tax:GBP £42.73Estimated tax to be collected:GBP £0.00Exchange rate guarantee fee: GBP £1.18Order total:GBP £43.91
That's with 22% off. Not cheap by a long way and I will need to wait until at least mid May to get it.
Tried to get it from my local book shop, but they said it would cost over £55.
I don't like reading off a screen, but at that price, I probably should've paid for the kindle version. I would be able to read it now if I went down that route.
Pity it isn't available on Audible, I guess you wouldn't get the pictures with it if it was available on Audible.
I think the Euro and the British Pound are almost 1:1. Not much I it the last I checked anyway.
I'm familiar with No Starch from hacking books, they tend to put out very good stuff.
One of the authors wrote a hacking a book for No Starch prior to this book.
What's this about lads? First time I have heard of starch when it comes to picking.
Thanks 🙂👍
It's nice to see a book actually aimed at Locjsporters.
Great review Lock Noob.
(I would love to see the blooper reel for this video 😉)
Actually, for this one I wrote out a script. It’s really hard to do a ‘hands only’ book review, so I felt more comfortable that way. I have so, so many bloopers for my other videos though lol 😂
The fundamentals on picking pin tumbler locks is very detailed. Definitely great for beginners. I wish it had more info on high- and ultra high security locks. There are no mention of really challenging type of security driver pins such as barrel pins, gins, shark fin, torpedo and christmas trees 🌲 and how those make picking a lock more difficult. The book just mentions lock mechanisms such as the one found in medeco and mul-t-lock, but doesn't go into details on how to defeat these locks. 😢 So, yeah not much info on anything above lpu green belt locks.
Anyways the book is still worth reading. The safe cracking and key impresionning parts were completely new information to me.😅
That’s a well considered review. I appreciate it
I read all the pin tumbler chapters. Haven't gotten into the safe cracking and more exotic stuff.
I am definitely impressed with this book. As is indicated by the title, it has a strong emphasis on LOCKSPORT and even covers the psychology aspects (e.g. being nervous in a competition.) The section on safes is particularly intriguing and even though I am fairly sure I shall never try anything out, I always enjoy increasing my (theoretical) knowledge. Yes, there are thousands of videos on lockpicking on the internet, but it is nice to have a physical book to peruse - it contains many useful brand names and subjects which one can put into a web search. I'm definitely glad I bought a copy.
❤GREAT JOB!!!

That's with shipping that takes 3 weeks. 22% off too.
I seriously hope you haven't over sold this book cause at that price, I SERIOUSLY hope it is as good as you said.
When this book arrives in mid-May (It's the 22nd of April today) I will edit this comment.
I have bought loads of books and learning locks etc, has cost me upwards of £400 (probably a lot more if I actually added it all up) so really hope this book is as good as you said it is @Locknoob. Would hate for it to be anything less after following you for so long now.
I want this book!
I have a couple of the other NoStarch books and they’re usually very well written and the quality of the book is great.
Looks like a great book, thanks for the heads up!
Looks like a great book!!
😀👍👏🐾🐈⬛🍻
Looks like a really good book 👍 thanks for sharing your thoughts on it 👌
If you say it’s a worthy read, then that’s enough for me.
Just ordered.
Thanks mate
Great review. I'm still learning some of the basics, so this will definitely be on my Christmas list.
You could learn all this by the time Christmas comes mate 😆
@@randommadness1021 Hi do you know any resources that would help? I used to rake locks, but I am trying to spp. Due to an accident and reduced dexterity I am using this as a fun way to keep my hands moving. I already follow Lock noob, Lock picking lawyer, and bosnian bill. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
@@tikka21 Just practice mate. There are loads of practice locks you can buy. Don't start on real locks.
I need to get that so I can learn more about locks and how to get them open so I know what to do should I accidentally lock my keys in the car or something like that. It might be a little while before I have a payment method that will work, but I don't mind waiting.
You want a Lishi lock pick for doing cars, it needs ti be able ti do your make of car and there is a lot.
You won't ever be able to start your car with them though. That's a whole new topic.
@@randommadness1021 You only want a Lishi for MAKING keys, not OBTAINING them from INSIDE the car.
@ColtonRMagby You can still pick the door locks with Lishi picks if you have the correct pick for your vehicle model.
The one I have does a lot of German cars, and I have personally had to use it on my BMW and they 100% work if you know how to use it.
If your keys are in the car, the £40 or whatever it costs these days is a lot cheaper than getting a garage to send out their apprentice mechanics who not only take hours but struggle to get your door open if they don't have the skills to open the door of a £30k car.
@@randommadness1021 Knowing how to use traditional tools yourself is even cheaper.
@ColtonRMagby Agreed. Lishi is overpriced in my opinion. They are a lot better if you actually know how to use them though. Loads of videos make it look like you can open any lock in under 2mins which as I'm sure you are aware, isn't that simple unless you're the LPL.
I'd probably buy the book and lend it to a friend who asks me to teach them to read this book first as a precursor if they're serious about learning
This looks like a great read, thanks for the review
Available on Nook and Kindle...for $30.
Great review Noob! 🔓
how much is the book
awesome!
Where can you get this book from?

@LockNoob I have bought this book off of Amazon. Tried my local book shop but they said it would cost £55. So this is what it cosy me with a 22% discount off of Amazon:
Items:GBP 34.81Shipping & handling:GBP 7.92Total before tax:GBP 42.73Estimated tax to be collected:GBP 0.00Exchange rate guarantee fee: GBP 1.18Order total:GBP 43.91
Isn't due for delivery until mid-may. Could have gotten it 2 weeks earlier, but was an extra £15. Feck that man.
Is this the one DALP wrote something for too?
DALP?
@@NigelTolley Dark Arts Lock Picking
I find every lock pick book to be really pricy. $75 in Canada. Books on every other topic, $20-$30. I got Deviant's books but used bank points to make it more affordable. If you want to sell more books, make them cheaper.
The ecopy doesn't cost as much. Sadly, small batch book printing (with color pages) is a pricy investment for a publisher. If only there were a million lockpickers that also purchased books, the price per each could have been closer to a mass market paperback.
The book was thousands of hours of work, every fact checked many times, with 5 authors, 3+ editors, multiple revisions, releases for every photo (or I drew the CAD figures) and then there's cover art, technical editors and more, before it even gets to print.
Honestly, it's a bargain.
;@@NigelTolley There is always work in every book. I will be using bank points to buy it, PS: Only news reports are not fact checked. Ha!
