industry's best-known lock picking teachers, has

About
the Author - Steven Hampton became interested in
locks and electronics at an early age. At 14 he
acquired a set of U.S. Air Force electronic training
manuals and began building various transistor
circuits by scalping radios and junkyard TVs. At 17
he was making his own lock picks and was considered a
master lock picker, and by the time he was 18 he'd
invented the magnetic padlock, which is still on the
market today. After a stint in the navy, he studied
digital electronics and worked in many technical
fields.
 Book
Description - Master locksmith Steven Hampton,
author of the best-selling Secrets of Lock Picking,
takes the art of picking locks one step further with
Modern High-Security Locks. Here, he collects some
of today's most popular pick-resistant locks and
sets out to see which ones hold up to their claims.
However complex a lock gets, it must be durable,
dependable and user-friendly. It has to be tough
enough to endure physical attack, but it can't be
machined too tight or it will jam up with just a
breath of dust. It must be simple and easy to lock
and unlock with its key, or the customer will not
pay the higher price for it. It is this delicate
balance between security and utility that allows the
locksmith to open this new generation of locks.
Hampton shows locksmiths how each lock is picked and
how long it will take. He details the tools of the
trade and includes patterns and instructions
making your own picks and tension wrenches. He even
includes ancient Tibetan Buddhist tantric
visualization exercises to help locksmiths learn to
"see" the inner workings of the lock within the
mind's eye. Veteran locksmiths or those new to the
trade will find Hampton's latest book an invaluable
sourcebook for academic study only.
