Product Description
This easy-to-understand, fully illustrated manual is a fine primer on the art of locksmithing without specialized tools. It discusses using jimmie and "shove knives," screwdrivers, drills, door frame spreaders, hacksaw blades, thumb tacks, elastic bands, and other common tools and items to open doors, windows, desks, and cabinets. This classic booklet is fascinating reading for professional locksmiths or anyone interested in this useful skill.


Customer Reviews:

2 out of 5 stars Not impressed   September 9, 2008
I read the other reviews but ordered this book anyway. Like many Paladin Press books, this information was dated at best. While a couple of the concepts can be used, don't buy this book to learn how to do these things, only buy it if you are trying to complete some sort of collection. Far better books are out there and a much better value.


2 out of 5 stars Old tech, but worth thinking about   February 4, 2003
 8 out of 10 found this review helpful

Much of the content (only 24 pages!) is pretty dated with regard to the type of locks being bypassed, but the concepts are the same today. You can install the best lock in the world, but it has to be part of an overall installation that won't allow easy workarounds. It made me look at my home and cars with a fresh point of view and awareness of the ways to bypass the existing locks.

While other security books mention the need to be aware of bypass techniques, this book demonstrates many specific techniques and how they are used. Worth a few bucks as part of an overall security awareness.


1 out of 5 stars Too Amatuerish   April 26, 2000
 44 out of 47 found this review helpful

I thought the book too amatuerish, even childish. It was written from the aspect of someone who knows just enough about locks to be dangerous. Some of the techniques just plain won't work or will damage something, though the author stresses caution to prevent such occurrences. If he really wants the reader to be cautious he should tell him to not try his methods.
