Be careful, sometimes lockies will get thier panties in a knot if you ask them to make a bump key.

this guy has been helping me alot. i dont talk to much about it because it belongs in the advanced topics. i try not to look like a goof so i ask here first.


if i could see the looks on your faces most of the time i would ask here ether

[bpc293]

i didnt mean it in a bad way you guys are great. i get inbarest easy. i'm use to being the boss not the noob

Just ask for whatever key form you want cut to the deepest cuts for that lock, his machine will tell him the rest or if its a manual or semi auto machine his paper work will.

thanks but can you think of some commen locks that i didnt mention that i should get. who needs bump keys i'll send them for what ever he charges me $1 + shipping. shrub and sfgoon are free

Thanks for the offer but i think postage to the uk would cripple you and also we have differant locks.
For that very reason i cant help on locks either but if your mates with him just ask what the most commong keys he cuts are and get them, he wont stock keys that he doesnt sell much of at all, the racks that have loads of the same blanks on are the ones you should be getting.

Is it for business? if so just look around at what you want in the local shops and on places, if its for hobbying just get ones for the locks you have.

when the guy has time he will help me in any way he can. but he runs it buy himself so some days he dont have time for my dum questions.

[Shrub]

Dumb questions are only dumb if youve asked and been told the answers before a few times, if you dont the answers they arent dumb.

I step aside then and let those that know the us market answer.

[bpc293]

thanks srub i keep telling him i'll work for free on saterdays for training
and he tells me when i'm ready im buying it lol. he wants me to take the late night lock outs for him he lives in a nice place and hates coming down to the geto at night. but how do i learn to do that with out shadowing him around.

[Shrub]

Go for it, turn up early one morning and tell him your there to help in anyway for no charge, hell not send you home im sure.

Good luck, its the best way to do it imho.

[bpc293]

i could at least work the counter for him hes has to trust me he's gave me a couple expensive locks at a time to take home.


i'm puerto rican i should be a lock out specialist all ready

Hey even if you clean the toilet and brush the floor you get a repotoir (sp?) built up and any trust there is improved on.

Offer to clean his windows, brush his floors, restock the shelves, wash his van etc etc it all puts you good in his eyes.

[bpc293]

it would be worth it. i dont think anyone could really become good with out hands on and a supervisor kicking you in the but once in a while

[Shrub]

Its also the fact your showing willingness, your eager, sensible and trust worthy,

There will soon become times when its 'im off out on a call, ;look after the shop for 20 mins' then your in.
