Locksport International - Los Angeles, CA Meetup

Learn about physical security, locks, and locking mechanisms. This month's topic is IMPRESSIONING. Bring your tools and lets impression some locks. We'll go over the process of impressioning for those that are new to the technique. Recommended gear list:

• Impressioning file (A nice pippin, swiss, or round file)
• Key holder (Dedicated tool or a pair of vicegrips)
• Magnifier/light source (Not required but very helpful
• Table vise / some method of holding the lock.

Some links to get an example of commerical impressioning products (shop around for better prices):

Safecracking will also continue into month 8! Sit down, get serious, and crack a safe.

In other news, some friends are running the lockpicking village in the first ever UK security camp. Check them out at https://www.emfcamp.org/. Contact me if you're planning on going and want to save some money on entry.

See you all there,
