About US

Welcome to SECURITY without obscurity.

Augusta Locksports, founded in 2015, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational group, dedicated to increasing the knowledge of physical security by educating and training how physical barriers operate, are constructed, and can be bypassed. We feel that it is our mission to spread the knowledge of how important physical security is for personal use, as a first layer of cyber-security training, and as a hobby to puzzle-loving enthusiasts.

Augusta Locksports does not condone the use of lockpicking for illegal use. We only pick locks that we own and locks that are not in use. Any lockpicking done on locks that are in use are done with the permission of the owner at the risk of breaking the lock.
We can own and use lockpicking tools under Georgia Code ยง 16-7-20.
