Locksmith

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

  1. No spam Advertise your trinkets elsewhere. Don't link to locksmith supplier sites either.

  2. 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.

  3. Don't be a dick

  4. 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.

I'm not a locksmith but I use to have a drawer that looked like that! Gotta love old houses and inheriting all of the keys that all the previous owners had over the years.

It always feels good when you finally get rid of all the previous owners hoarded brass.

I swear some people are pauper dragons, couldn't find gold or silver to hoard, so they just hoarded the next softest metal they could find that wasn't lead.
