==What Lockwiki is==
 
;A resource for security professionals
:Quickly finding information when in need is troublesome. Resources are scattered throughout the Internet, often in the form of message boards or e-mail lists that are difficult to search. This site aims to provide a centralized resource for security professionals to obtain accurate information about a wide variety of locking technologies.
 
;A resource for beginners
:Starting out in this field is complex because of the various technologies available. This site aims to provide a centralized resource for the development and study of budding security professionals.
 
;An unbiased, full-disclosure website.
:As a citizen it is unclear what lock technologies and brands actually provide security. All manufacturers represent their products as "high-security," but few stand up to professional attacks. This site includes unbiased information involving the security measures offered by various products and their effectiveness in the real world.
 
==What Lockwiki is not==
 
;Lockwiki is not illegal
:Lockpicking and safecracking are entirely legal under the right conditions. Please visit the [[Legal_Issues|Legal Issues]] section for more information.
