Looking for help on getting started as a locksmith

[crashandburn]

I was sitting watch a locksmith make a key for my girl friend who has a habbit of loosing her keys. Except this one was a transponder key. On top of everything the guy made the key from scratch. Now this might seem easy to all of you but this sparked my interest both because I like new challenges and because I am getting out of the Marine Corps and need a new line of work. My mind is in over drive and I need guidence. Does anyone know where I can go with this. Who should I talk to about learning more? I'm just full of questions. Help!

There is a ton of info in the first forum on this site. have a read through there and check back next week when you're done. Might look at a course by Foley Belsaw.

Good luck, and welcome to the site!

Wow, making a transponder key from scratch. That's some serious workmanship. First you've got to mould the plastic head, then make the circuit board, then program the circuit board, then.......

J/k.

From scratch is hitching out and mining the brass, etc....thats true workmanship...


Ummm, try going Varjeals Locksmithing forum, look on the left hand side in the grey area under featured picks.
