I want to learn locksmith skills. There is no formal training that I'm aware of.

The easiest way to pick a lock is to use the fast and dirty method: scrubbing.
Insert Tension Wrench into the Bottom of Key Hole and Apply Slight Pressure. ...
Insert Pick at Top of Lock. ...
While Applying Slight Torque to Your Wrench, Scrub Your Pick Back and Forth in the Key Hole. ...
Repeat Until All the Pins Set.

Just continue to break picks until you skill up. Once you get around 100 or so they don't break so easily.

It's like being a River Boat Pilot you're just born into it.

I break into houses all the time and get paid for it.
It's obviously not as easy as movies show it to be but you can learn watching videos and reading instructions.
I have a set of lock picks, a set of bump keys, and a lock pick gun.
The bump keys work on cheaper locks, the lock pick gun is a PoS and waste of money, and picking locks can be tricky on higher priced newer locks because they have special tumbler pins in them to prevent it.
The easiest way is to use a rake pick while holding tension on the lock with a tension wrench.
When all else fails, drill that shite out.
I order from these places

Also, if you live in a spec house with cheap builder grade Kwikset style locks I can be in your house in 30 seconds tops with my bump keys.

You know I don't live in no spec house.

If a door frame isn't reinforced, I can be in a house in under two seconds with my boot.

I fix a lot of frames people kick in to break into vacant houses. It doesn't seem as easy as me using a bump key and sneaking in quietly.

I didn't mean you specifically, dummy.
Also, not all higher priced locks are what they are cracked up to be. Some are still pretty easy to get into. I wouldn't put Kwikset anything on my house as they are the easiest IMO. Schlage makes some nice locks that can be a PITA to get into.

That's why we got Schlage. And after all, if someone wants in, they are going to get in. Alarm system does the trick.
