FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Trade Magazines, Other Locksmiths, and Suppliers, and Trade Show classes Unfortunately at present time I can not recall the last Show or Class I took. Elsewhere on Here tells Why I have (Believing to Be HAD) a poor memory due to a brain infection I Had in Jan 2010! or on FaceBook.com, God's Wisdom, Files Look for Hello Everyone!
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
When I was a child in Southern California and saw the locksmith rekey the lock I wanted to become one. But when I was old enough to pursue it as a career. I either Had to be a Licensed Locksmith, Work for one, or went to a California locksmith school. and to go to School you had to be a licensed locksmith! so in CALIFORNIA it's a catch 22 situation, You need a license to become a locksmith and You need a license to go to school to become one! and You couldn't get one unless you already were a locksmith.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Due to a disability Mostly now just unlock cars/ trucks, and copy keys, install New Locks. Takes me TOO Long to rekey locks. so if customer is in a hurry (where used to take me 1 to 2 hours to rekey a house with 4-6 locks (Keyways where you stick the key) from time I pulled up till time I am driving away. now taken me about 1-1/2 to 3 hours Per Lock Cylinder Down from 4 hours a lock and giving up for a simple Kwikset lock back in March 2010 after I got out from the hospital. PLEASE Do not let this detour you from hiring or calling someone to do the Job!
