This 1 hour class will teach you the basics of lock mechanisms and lock picking, known as locksport. During the class you will have a range of picks and locks to play with, all picks must be returned at the end of the class. Lock picking is legal in Wisconsin as long as you don’t show malicious intent, as described below.
The Wisconsin Statutes and Annotations – § 943.12 – Possession of burglarious tools. Whoever has in personal possession any device or instrumentality intended, designed or adapted for use in breaking into any depository designed for the safekeeping of any valuables or into any building or room, with intent to use such device or instrumentality to break into a depository, building or room, and to steal therefrom, is guilty of a Class I felony.
By signing up for this class you agree to the following rules:
1. Do not pick locks that you rely on for your own security. Picking locks can damage them.
2. Do not pick other people’s locks, this is a Class I felony. We do have cameras set up around the Bodgery, don’t even think about it.
