Q. What makes video such a valuable media?
A. The Locksmith business is very hard to convey in a written text format. You need to see it being done. It is a lot easier to learn any skill of a technical nature. It really makes no difference. Video is by far better. You would ask how have you come to this conclusion? Over the last eight years we have heard from hundreds if not thousands of individuals who have tried to learn these skills out of a book. All of them, without exception have told us the same thing.” I just can't put all the pieces together”. In the 20th century textbooks were just about all that was available. We are now in a completely different generation and things are changing rapidly. We even elect presidents based on digital media. Today's technology can be used in a very positive way if applied properly.
Q.
Is your locksmith program adequate to train our maintenance personnel to maintain the locks in our own facilities?

Q.
How long would it take an individual to become proficient in the field of locksmithing?

Q.
What will we need to purchase tools and supplies.
A. Included is our inventory tool and supply list. On this list we have listed a supplier. However we work on a one on one basis with your maintenance department to determine what specific locking systems and products you will need.
Q. How much money do you believe our company could save by doing our own in house locksmithing, and how many additional tools would we need to purchase?
A. On the average locksmiths charge anywhere from $100.00 to $150.00 per hour in theory. Depending on the services requested. However most of the outside contractors as a rule do not figure jobs based upon an hourly rate. They usually price them by the peace. This explains the visit that was less than 30 minutes costing your company $175.00. Regarding tools, with the exception of a few specific specialized hand tools your maintenance department already has 90% of the tools required.
