Welcome all to the site.

Unfortunatley you wont be getting access to the advanced section just yet kangauzy as there are a few criteria you must forfill before you do and you wont be able to do that soon.

There is plenty of good info in the public sections however and im sure you will find stuff that interests you more than safe work.


Trav90,
We do read this page and we welcome new members with it hence its existance, who did you do some training/work experiance with that has given you some certificates that they say are equal to MLA training?

:D Hello everyone! :D I am new to this forum. Lockpicking has been a hobby of mine for several years. I'm employed in the automotive industry and I would like to add this service (lockouts) to the business.

Hey all,
Looks like a great site for a beginner. I am hoping to get information on what it takes to be a locksmith and if the effort and money are worth it.

Great site.

Welcome to the site.

With the sort of questions you two are going to be asking how about filling out your place of residence on the profile page, your answers will need to be country and region specific.

Hello all

Today, on an impulse, I bought an ABUS 65/40 padlock with mushroom pins, and opened it first try.

I feel that I just have to tell someone...

Seriously though, congratulations on a great site. As a rookie, I learn more every time I visit.

Keep up the good work
