Welcome to the Toool website
Toool is the The Open Organisation Of Lockpickers, a growing group of enthusiasts interested in locks, keys and ways of opening locks without keys. On this site you will find information about us getting together to practice our skills, about the conventions and championships we organize and lots and lots of information about our hobby. Toool presently has chapters in Amsterdam and Eindhoven.
This website is in English because most of the information on it is in English and because we found that the majority of our visitors is not from the Netherlands.
Chapters
The Amsterdam and Eindhoven chapters of Toool both meet every two weeks. Please check the gatherings page for more information. This is the dutch Toool website, but there is also Toool USA. They have their own website at www.toool.us.
Upcoming gatherings
- Amsterdam:
- Eindhoven:
