I had that installed but found it to be not very useful.

One program I use a lot in the business is a free one called Sailforms. http://www.sailforms.com/

You could use it to keep track of master keys in a key box, perhaps use it to keep track of inventory in service vehicles, pretty much anything you need a portable database for.

I use it to keep track of service vehicle inventory. I created input fields for the different things I wanted to keep track of and once it is inputted it is very quick to see at a glance if I have 2 Duro 5000 series closers on the truck. I often be on the road and my boss will say "do you have 6 SFIC KAA?", I can quickly pull over and quickly give him an answer. The other techs usually have to stop and scour their truck to provide an answer.

Another very useful program is ElectroDroid. I use the free version every day when installing electronic access control. It has pinouts and wire codes, voltage drops, battery calculators and much more. http://demisoft.altervista.org/_siti_interni/electrodroid/

Here are a few screenshots from my Nook Tablet.

What do you think would make more useful Cledry ? Electrodroid is also standard issue for everyone in the company that has droid or compatible. the voltage drop and pins outs make this one of my favorites as well. i like your lite db there . If every truck in the fleet was accurately maintaining one of those lists and the dispatcher had access then you would have something very powerful.

I found a few dead links, plus these are all things I could just bookmark in a browser myself easily enough. Things that might be handy in an app are things like door handing, programming for electronic locks, drill points for various locks, key blanks that can be used for other purposes. Programming for transponder keys.

I saw an app for safe technicians that I think I'll buy. It gives a checklist for common lockouts and a progression of combinations to try.

[HeadHunterCEO]

I just double checked and you are the first complaint of dead links i have had this far.i found none. The app is nothing but consolidated links to programming electronic locks /safe locks. i appreciate the feedback though.

I'll reinstall it and give it another go. I was sure I had a bad link or two, but I'll test it again.

Reinstalled it and I must say a cursory look proves me wrong regarding the dead links. As such and for what it is, basically just links to information it functions well and it is free.

I have most pdf files preloaded already and GOOGLE finds the links generally without too much trouble, but the app makes it quicker. You might want to include a link to Digilock programming, I can never remember the procedure so I am sure others will have the same trouble. Another thought is put all the various tech numbers in the app and make it so clicking will dial the number.

Sorry, it is called Safeman's Helper.

Sorry, it is called Safeman's Helper.

Thanks. I looked it up and it doesn't sound very helpful from the description--from what I can tell, it only gives you numbers to try based on what you think the combo might be, which is good if you can't add the numbers in your head (i.e., if the customer thinks the combo is 20-30-50, it could be off by one or two in either direction, which should be easy enough to dial without needing a list). What would be great is something like Grudge's graphing software in Android. But Google might not want to accept the liability if someone were to use it criminally...

I like that idea in reference to the contact # and will incorporate it on the next update.
I checked out that safe app when it first came out but I won't be shelling out 10$
For something that really can be done in your head easily.I started writing an app that randomly spits out the most common 250 safe combos out there .I may load it onto my phone and not publish it . Or just read it out of the book they are written down in .
An app is not always the most effective way to solve the problem and a sheet of looseleaf and a magnet seemed like a better solution.

There is a useful locksmith application that 'can' run on an Android device....but not 'natively'.

The DOS version of Genericode runs fine under AnDOSBox. The only major problem is the native Android keyboard's lack of function keys (F1 ~ F12). That can be remedied by the addition of a free Japanese keyboard (sorry, couldn't find a better replacement yet), and by then adjusting the keyboard height to fill the bottom half of the screen, full width, and enabling the AnDOSBox resize to fit the screen width.

This solution isn't for those with poor vision or pudgy fingers. But, Genericode offers a long list of professional locksmith utilities, and can be made to run under Android on a smartphone, with due diligence and some patience. It also runs really well on an HP Touchpad converted to Android.

Genericode is a very expensive program though. I think it is close to $700. I think a better alternative if you have web access is a Blackhawk subscription. You can look up blanks on Ilco's website. Have JMW, Ilco, Silca, jet catalogs in pdf. Most manufacturers offer programming instructions in pdf as well.

I created a flat rate multiplier on Excel and would like to see something similar for smartphones. Something where you would enter your hourly rate, pair it with the tasks on a pre-entered list and it figures it up (including pre-entered tax) and it sends to a wireless printer for you. The only thing i have seen that was close was a work order/invoice app. Anybody want to develop this for smartphones I would be willing to work with you. I'm not very good at bidding work so the times where I don't know what to charge I refer to the Excel File I created and it works great.
