This is a locksmith community, meant for actual locksmiths. Non-locksmiths will be tolerated, for now.
If you just show up at people's houses and step number 1 is to drill the door lock and then sell them shitty replacement hardware at 1000% markup, go fuck yourself somewhere else.
Rules
No spam Advertise your trinkets elsewhere. Don't link to locksmith supplier sites either.
No lockout questions Call a local locksmith, we're just little people in your internet box, we likely can't affect your physical location in any meaningful manner.
Don't be a dick
Use your brain Don't post trade secrets. Absolutely no drill points or bitting information. Wouldn't want to aid with thefts and break ins.
Honestly, some people don't know what immobilizers are. Working in IT we vastly overestimate a user's skill.
Job posting: admin staff with working knowledge of Word, Excel and power point.
New user to helpdesk: how do I change the colour of the graph I just made?
One time a gentleman brought in a doorknob that wouldn't turn. I had to demonstrate for 5 minutes that it wasn't broken, he was just holding both sides of the knob while turning it.
Big oof
