Locks on the table. Ego off it.

A TOOOL-style meetup: picks, a practice lock, and the rule that we do not open what we do not own.

What we do

Meetups

A table, locks, good light.

Ethics

The talk we actually give.

Skill nights

One mechanism, slowly.

Own locks only

Ego off the table. TOOOL SF does not open what we do not own, and we do not film a bypass for clout.

The ethics talk we actually give

Legal, a bit nerdy, beginners get a kit list.

One mechanism, slowly

Skill nights, good light.

Who this is for

Beginners

A kit list, no hazing.

Experienced pickers

Who will teach slowly.

The curious

Who can hear ‘no’ about a neighbour’s lock.

How a typical job runs

  1. 1. Ask for the next table

    SF room, what to bring.

  2. 2. Sit

    Locks on the table. Questions allowed. Crime tips are not.

  3. 3. Practice

    A lock you own.

  4. 4. Leave

    Nothing from a doorway on the way home. That is the whole ethic.

About TOOOL SF

Workshops are legal, ethical and a bit nerdy. Beginners get a kit list. Nobody films a bypass for clout.

A TOOOL-style meetup: picks, a practice lock, and the rule that we do not open what we do not own.

TOOOL-style: locksport is a craft. If you want entry techniques for a job, you will be asked to leave.

Bring locks you own. Leave other people’s doors out of the conversation.

Questions people actually ask

Is this legal?
On locks we own, in this room, yes. We are not your lawyer for a stunt.
Can I bring a lock from work?
If you own it or have written permission. ‘The office won’t mind’ is not permission.
Filming?
Default no. Faces and bypass video are how this goes wrong.
Kids?
When a night is marked. Ethics first.
How to start?
Write [email protected]. We send the kit list.
