Locksmith Colorado Springs
My First Locksmith Job
Locksmith Colorado Springs – My first locksmith job, for several years I worked for other locksmith doing locksmith services. Locksmith training and education is an on the job training event. Well most of you know that a full time job providing locksmith services educates you quickly. The truth is that locksmith work is a derivative of the equipment you use and skills you develop over time.
I decided to learn about locksmiths service 30 years ago. I was invited by my mentor who took me under his wing for two years.
Locksmith Colorado Springs – My first locksmith job, my mentor sucked, he loved to do all the work himself and allowed me to watch. I watch him organize his truck, I watched him looking at books, I watched him open a car within 120 seconds when he was called upon as an emergency locksmith. I even influenced him to go and open another car for $50.00 dollars so I could see him do it again. Watching was like reading a book or watching YouTube training videos. The truth is that locksmith work requires steady hands. He finally gave me a lock he had in a bucket and told me to pick it. Well learning to pick a lock is like picking your nose deep enough to clear late night snot build up. It takes little time and or skill. The job requires picking and picking with the right tool. When I finally picked it I did not know why it opened. Shortly after a client called and I could hear my trainer asking how he was found. The client reported locksmith near me in Google voice audio.
Locksmith Colorado Springs – Then he told me to pick a Kwikset Lock. I was told that it required 7 steps. I can’t put all those together in my head. I did fine with the pins but turning the lock was not working. Finally it worked again by accident. Next I was required to pull a cylinder from the lock. I was very nervous and shorly after I was listening to “Au You Pissed On The Toilet Seat” my hand shaking I jumped back with my hand pulling out the cylinder set. Then all the pins and springs fell out. My mentor said “you should never allow this to happen.” It took him 20 minutes to put it back together.
Thanks to the Google gods new calls were coming in. and a friend in locksmith Colorado Springs was offering me also. I have plenty of teachers.
Locksmith Colorado Springs= Three weeks later I got my first a mother and daughter who called for a 24 hour locksmith screaming for SkyHI Locksmith and wanted me to open there old van. What was funny is that they were parked in a Home Depo parking lot. Why not ask a Mexican or home depo person to get the door open. Well just to be safe I called my trainer I told him that I could hook the keys on the dashboard. He responded with “Stop You Idiot” The pecking order was again being established as who was stupid. He told me not to pull the key chain through the door that the result would be a torn door seal. The keys will rip the seal and the job will be a disaster. I quickly turned over the long wire releasing the keys I redirected to the door handle hooking it successfully. I pulled gently until I heard the click of a door latch. Success – I opened the door and requested a five star review before asking for payment. Call Benny today SkyHi Locksmith Colorado Springs Residential, Commercial, and Auto Call Today 719-636-3777
