Locksport?

Don't even know what it is. Care to elaborate on your involvement in locksport? It makes me think of a speed competition for picking locks, or designing locks that would be super tricky for masters to pick within a certain timeframe.

Am I close?

Your logic is sound, I could be swayed to your opinion.

but, have you considered that maybe he's trying to skirt the first rule of fight club and is actually talking about tropskcol ?
 
Yes, locksport is mostly picking locks, and many people also modify locks to make them harder to defeat.

I've been doing it for a couple of years, but only met one other person in the Bay Area, actually a coworker, who is into it. I'd like to meet more folks who do it so we can trade locks.

It's really fun getting a lock open, but people think I'm a weirdo for sure. I mean they think I'm more of a weirdo.
 
If you're good with a lathe, all you have to do is cut the sides of some pins in an existing lock. Serrations, muchroom shapes, and spool shapes make getting a lock open much more difficult.

Threading the lock core core also makes it tough when used with serrated pins.

Or if you're REALLY good with a lathe you can fabricate interlocking pins. Skip to 16:50
