What Is Locksport?
Locksport is the mindful, educational study of locks and mechanical security. It focuses on understanding how locks operate, how tolerances affect their performance, and how skillful manipulation exposes weaknesses — all ethically and legally.
Practitioners work only on locks they own or have permission to handle. Locksport is about curiosity, education, and skill, not crime.
Practical Locksport Tips
- Use practice locks to understand internal mechanics.
- Pay attention to tactile feedback for better control.
- Follow legal guidelines and only use your own equipment.
