We get dozens of requests per month from locksmiths who just joined the forum and want/expect immediate full access to our Advanced Topics areas.
We simply do not have the time or a secretary on staff to verify information or to call your shop, or city/state you have a business in or to call or email ALOA/SAVTA to verify you are who you are, so please be patient and follow the rules to get Advanced level access like everyone else who is a member here. We get it, some of you have been locksmiths for 30 years, and you don't need to be jumping through hoops, but it is what it is. This is a community based forum where folks add content and share information, it is not Clearstar, and it is not a free online reference library for locksmiths or safemen. All members are expected to post and contribute, and that opens more doors and gets you higher access around the forum.
We are protecting the public trust by not having certain information be in the open, and we hope you can respect and appreciate that.
Emailing moderators or admins with your details and expecting or demanding to get in, is a sure fire way of not getting in.
Please read the other posts in this area for a full run down of how one gets access to the Advanced Topics such as High Security Locks, Bypass, Safes, and Automotive.
Thank you,
