Hi - I'm Michael Maynard, and welcome to my channel.  If you're interested in locks, locksport or lock picking,  please subscribe and feel free to comment.

I'm an optometrist in private practice in Napier, a small town on the east coast of New Zealand.  In my spare time I pick locks and figure out how they work.

I like to teach, so this channel is all about picking techniques, reviews, tutorials and lock disassembly.

Submissions are welcome; you can post locks / equipment / books / challenge locks / whatever to me at
