(63) Yellow Belt - How to pick open locks with security pins and gut locks

This is the second video in a new series that I am producing and in this video we are looking at the Yellow Belt level in the Lockpickers United Belt System!

We'll be taking a look at our introduction to security pins, and will be picking open the Master Lock 130/140 and a Master Lock M930.

I'm also going to talk about the importance of starting to develop your gutting skills at this belt level, and we'll be walking thru the gutting process with the Master Lock M930.

I am just a newbie in the locksport/lockpicking world. I am not a professional and only have been in this hobby for a year at this point.

Let's keep lock sport legal! Only pick locks that you own and do not use!
