This article is from the Locksmithing FAQ, by Joe "Spike" Ilacqua spike@indra.com and Henry Schaffer hes@ncsu.edu, major data collection effort by Scott Anguish sanguish@digifix.com with numerous contributions by others.

05 Where can I get the "MIT Guide to Picking Locks"?

The author of the "MIT Guide to Picking Locks", "Ted the
Tool", has posted a PostScript(TM) version of the Guide which can
be retrieved via ftp from:

ftp.indra.com:/archives/alt-locksmithing/MITGtLP/MITLockGuide.ps.Z

You will need a PostScript printer or previewer to view this file.
Dave Ferret <ferret@works.uucp> scanned/typed in a version of the
Guide, it is a file of the text of the Guide and a collection of
GIFs of the diagrams. This can be found in ZIP and tar format in:

A Web version can be found at The Document Which Was Formerly
Called the MIT Guide
ftp.indra.com:/archives/alt-locksmithing/MITGtLP/unofficial

Mattias Wingstedt <wing@lysator.liu.se> has converted the Guide to
HTML and made it available on the Web at
http://www.lysator.liu.se/mit-guide/mit-guide.html.

Ken Waldron <kwaldron@idirect.com> has converted the Guide to MS
Word format and it can be retrieved via ftp from:

ftp.indra.com:/archives/alt-locksmithing/mitguideMSW.zip

Since this is a zipped file, you will need to set ftp to binary
mode and then unzip it after retrieving it. You may want to start
by retrieving the small mitguideMSE.README file first.

4b. I can't print the Guide!

Try deleting the two lines that read:
statusdict /lettertray known {statusdict begin lettertray end} if
