EspañolTHE OPEN ORGANIZATION OF LOCKPICKERS
''The Open Organization Of Lockpickers'' (also known as TOOOL) is a unique group of people based in The Netherlands who partake in the hobby of picking locks.
There are always questions being raised about the ethics of such an organisation but there is a code of conduct that TOOOL members have to adhere to that includes among other things to remain professional in their activities and not to use the skills learned for anti-social activities.
The law allows possession of lockpicking tools in The Netherlands as long as there is no intent on using them unlawfully.
In 2005, the technique of lock bumping was brought to public attention when members of TOOOL first drafted a white paper describing the technique,[1] then went on a Dutch national television show, Nova, to describe the technique to the general public.[2] TOOOL has since cooperated with consumer groups in testing the resistance of various locks to the technique.[3]
