Not unlike defusing a bomb, the practice calls for incredible precision -- listening and feeling for the acute signal that progress is being made. It could take minutes, hours, days. Even weeks. Tools break, fingertips turn purple with pressure. Grips falter. All for a series of tiny mechanisms, hidden within the confines of a piece of metal no bigger than a few inches. It's rigorous and demanding, but for the locksport community, it's all worth it to hear that final click. [/QUOTE]
