I think that in the first picture he's saying " after you've drilled all the locks use this screwdriver to open them ".

Following a very interesting chat last night with one of this guys trainees followed by a little bit of digging, this guy who is advertising his course on ebay in dagenham essex, was trained himself as a novice only 9 months ago at MATRIX training.

So unlike the start of this thread stating that he is big within master locksmiths association, he is not , ive also checked out MLA who also dont know of him.
It seems that this guy was a pure novice 9 months ago and is now training.

The alarm bells ring when you see statements in their ads like;
Fully qualified locksmith following our course
picking of BS3621 locks between 11am and 12

the shock for me when chatting to this guy who trained with them is that he was told you dont need to be non destructive, and you dont need curtain picks and bs picks.

this guy has now booked a lock fitting course with matrix and looking to book a bs course with myself, as well as wanting to cover alot of the basic bypass methods not covered on his training course.

it may be a good basic intro course, i cant say other than from comments recieved by a guy who took it, you can decide this, but dont be fooled into this qualified locksmith statement, dont be fooled by the master locksmith services name which is nothing to do with the master locksmith, also worth remembering that this guy too was a novice just 9 months ago. association at all

Nice digging Pinky, Once again its people like this guy who give Locksmiths a bad name, due to their lack of understanding and pull out a drill before a pick.

I keep seeing matrix advertising in the national papers, are they any good. i assume they must be expensive to keep up there current advertising run.

3. Over £1000 worth of general and specialist tools. (manual tools, high power cordless drill)


Says it all, there are a lot of specialist rotary picks around the owners name is usually Duke, i bet he/she doesnt even know what a P+C is or even how to actually pick a lock properly,

£20k in 12 months i think it says, wow thats a good business plan, 0-20k in 12 months of trading, must be worth the 5K he wants for the business (without transport!) just to follow his plan,

His user name also says a lot to me, they sit there selling copied cd's all day on ebay :roll:
