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 be it watch repair, gun repair, guitar playing or locksmithing. 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. Do you have financing for any of your three complete courses?
A. We have Financing for all three of our full courses, The Basic course, Advanced course and the Advanced Plus with tools course. You will find this information at the bottom of the course description page.
Q.
Is your locksmith training programs adequate to train our maintenance personnel to maintain the locks in our own facilities and or become self employed?
A. Yes, we started producing locksmith instructional media in 2000. In the last eight years we have had hundreds if not thousands of Individuals, School districts, Government agencies, and Property management companies purchase our products for this purpose.
Q.
How long would it take an individual to become proficient in the field of locksmithing?
A. It has been my experience; if a person has the proper skills it does not take long for one to be proficient in this field.
Q.
What Licenses do I need?
A. Each state or country has its own requirements. You
need to contact the city you live in and
apply for a locksmith business License If your intent is to become self-employed.
They will inform you of what your location
might require if anything. That's all there
is to it. Some city's require a background
investigation and some do not. Some require
a contractors License and some do not. Some
require a state License as well as a business
License and certain insurance requirements
and some do not. They are more concerned
about your criminal history, licenses fees
and taxes.

What will we need to purchase tools and supplies.
A. If you choose to purchase the Basic course or Advanced course included is our inventory tool and supply list which includes suppliers.
Q.
How much money do you need and what would my
income potential be?
A. As little as $1,500.00 and as much as $5,700.00 this is a hard question to answer. I can only share with you my personal experience. I started with $4,000.00 which I used to build out my van and purchase tools and inventory leaving virtually no operating capitol and still was able to bring in over $3,000.00 my first month in business. I have known other Locksmiths to start out with much less and still do very well. Your income potential is determined by you ability to market your business not so much as how good of a locksmith you are. I have seen just an "ok Locksmith" make upwards of $10,000.00 in a month. It really is all about good marketing, big accounts, and your willingness to give good service to your customers. Always remember honesty, courtesy and integrity is always the best rule.
Q. How much money do you believe our company could save by doing our own in house locksmithing and what tools would we need to purchase?
A. Then again, this is a very hard question to answer. On the average locksmiths charge anywhere from $100.00 to $150.00 per hour. Depending on the services requested. Most of the outside contractors as a rule do not figure jobs based upon an hourly rate. They usually price them by the peace. In regards to tools; With the exception of a few specific specialized tools your maintenance department already has 90% of them.
