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.

This website is in English because most of the information on it is in English and because we found that the majority of our (web) visitors is not from the Netherlands.


Organisation

Toool was founded in 2002 in Amsterdam. In 2006, a local chapter in Eindhoven was founded. They both have regular meetings (once every other week). Members of Toool are welcome in both cities. People from abroad are welcome too to become a member. Especially from Belgium as there is no lockpicking group in Belgium. For Germany, see the pages of the Sportfruende der Sperrtechnik.

There is also a Toool in the USA. This is actually a seperate entity, although Toool NL and Toool US have strong bonds. Toool US has their own website at www.toool.us.
