I won´t define myself as skilled because I am not a profesional, there are people that get paid for that.

Out of curiosity I learned myself playing with locks, its a matter of practice and feel.

If you want to go deep into it they sell transparent training locks so you can see the springs.

The best purpose was impressing friends and also emergency situations that I needed to unlock something that im allowed to (mine or friends).

How long did you spend learning this or just randomly trying to pick locks until you were able to pick the basic locks?
