Very nice setup. I closed my business and retired in 2020 after 34 years doing lock work. I’m always impressed watching other locksmiths doing a great job for our industry. Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work. 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@84locksmith]

Thank you 🙏😊🤝🤝

[@theOneRizzolliMick]

I, too, thank you allot, Sir. I too partake in this love for our industry, this isn't just about money. It's the commitment of being available 24/7 always with a smiley face, and the joy of knowing you have made a great work. 🤝 ⚜🗝⚜

[@dragonladyz290]

Honestly, most of the locksmiths I've met are highly intelligent, organized people who are honest and friendly. I really like your setup! The "missing" fan, that already has a switch (and most likely the wiring) reminds me that I have a few things like that myself. My suburban work vehicle I am a LED lighting specialist, installing on commercial property, private property, and automotive (fleet) applications. I have three switches that are for future"upgrades" such as lighting for night installs. However I discovered they aren't all that necessary or needed all that often... Someday I might even finish those"projects"....

How can someone get started in this industry

[@DG-br6zi]

Can you teach me ?

[@sammorris9609]

Ty for this video. You have a very good van set-up for locksmithing. I am a retired locksmith. Owned my own business for many years, then became prison locksmith, then working for someone else till retiring. My vans were well supplied but back then all my cabinets were wooden. I had so much work that I had to give work away to other locksmiths. Seeing your van tour really makes me miss locksmithing. One of the few occupations that I really enjoyed. It was always interesting to see peoples reactions when you opened a car or home or safe. I also learned that I was not a business man, because if I could have done it all for free, I would have, because it was just fun. I wish you the best Sir on your continued locksmith career. Thank you

[@user-xt3vf1ty5x]

I love watching your TikTok video. Am aslo a locksmith as well. Great job

[@munozinni]

Those are great labor rates I wish I tought about it first…in remodeling and home repairs you run in issues like that where people want to pay whatever they want to pay and they don’t know how hard is to start a small business and take care of your customers and delivery quality jobs I do love how professional you treat each of your customers and that’s a plus keep up the great work 👋😊👋

[@Redbonnet98]

I enjoyed the video! It's great to see the ins and outs of your van. Your organization skills are impressive. Keep up the good work! I always look forward to your content.

[@agonzalez4358]

Your van looks great 👍 thanks for taking the time to share.

[@MattCraftVids]

Your TikTok is really satisfying to watch

[@paulfarmer1605]

Warched you for a long time. Keep up the good work!!

[@lakelandcarkeys]

looking at picking up a similar van, thanks for the ideas

[@adicarmeli5446]

Wow that is impressive, very well organized and maintained! Real pro!

[@84locksmith]

Thanks 🙏

[@michelerandall8131]

Thank you for sharing! I just took over my dad's locksmith business and want to organize our vans better. Love your setup with the work bench right up front. I bought similar drawers to the ones you have for transponder keys for all of our transponder keys and key fobs. They work great. I also like the Dewalt drawers you have too. We have all Adrian Steel and someone, myself included, always forgets to lock them before driving.

[@jasonhilliard8522]

I never knew how technical this was .I'm an old marine that welds. I enjoy building stuff and working on my own equipment I have no idea how to open a lock.i just use my torch 😊..I have really enjoyed these videos. Much respect to the business you have built. It is very interesting Semper fi

[@jcob893]

This is cool! I work as a bag boy at a supermarket, people always lock their keys in the vehicle. I always help unlock the vehicle but using a shim, wire and stuff like that. But this is super interesting!. I always feel good helping a person get back in. How would a person start something like this? The business? The education side of it

[@pjmoody]

Awesome setup Alex. Thanks for sharing

[@odinseye8835]

Awesome set up and great content. Thanks for sharing and look forward to more content

[@tyzxcj34]

Awesome bro! Love the videos showing the work you do.

[@UmamiPapi]

Love your organization and those latching drawers.

[@GardenBoat]

Thank you so much for the ideas 🙏 I work for another company right now and was wondering how to set up their van without putting too much money and work into a setup that they would take with the van when I eventually leave. The tstak system is 100% my solution and I never thought of it. Happy to say my van is nearly completely organized and set up and when I leave it will almost be an empty shell 🤘🏻

[@ZubairKhan-vs8fe]

Your work space is very very neat. I would have loved to see a video of you building your vehicle up. The workspace is very very neat. Please do more videos. Especially on the equipment that you use

[@sdym7178]

I’m glad I run to this - Thank you for those plastic bins - I have some will buy more - I’m redoing my van tomorrow after 5 years

[@sdym7178]

Oh yes van is done and you should see looks like just yours but in in Ford transit- ty bro

[@Griffin1996]

I’ve watched all your vids on Tik tok a few times lol. I love your hustle man. Your setup is awesome as well, so we’ll put together and organized, you’re just ready for what ever call is thrown at you! It makes me want to become lock smith and start my own little gig. But I’m doing great where I’m at.

[@84locksmith]

I appreciate it 😊🤝

[@hershal40]

Love the van set up! I would be interested in your inverter setup. I am in the process of building out my van! Thanks!

[@advancedleveldiagnostics]

That is a really nice setup, Thanks for sharing!

[@titanlockandkey6477]

One of the better start up vans ive seen. long ways to go on improvement but thats not a bad thing. Good job

[@dridsa]

I love your van I wish I have one like yours for my equipment, but you forgot the space for the coffee maker and the coffee cup!! 🤣🤣👍👍 Have a nice day, grettings from México

[@odinslockllc]

That’s an awesome setup! My anti-“OCD” (reverse of ocd) was going crazy! I must be living a really sheltered life as I didn’t know dewalt made pullout drawer combos. I need to look into those. My stuff is where I can find it but I’m still extremely disorganized. Thanks for sharing!

[@sandors.5526]

Hi from Europe from Hungary. nice work.

[@HashiriyaSquadron]

Awesome setup. I've always wanted a work van like that. Mine isn't big enough to have a work bench in though.

[@javieraguilar894]

From one locksmith to another, this is a sweet set up!!! 🎉 If you get a chance to do a video on how how run your power in the van, that would be awesome.

[@m_lopez8272]

Looks like the perfect setup to me.

[@geraldskinner63]

Very slick set up!

[@kevinwitt8827]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing. I want to redo my van with a focus on automotive, but I'm not sure how to do it yet. Those Dewalt drawers are cool, but they don't have enough room for my car keys. I'm thinking some combination of drawers and bins on the wall. Keep up the youtube videos!

[@Rodtamara]

I love the van!!

[@84locksmith]

Thanks

[@outdoors445]

Amazing setup. Can you please make an electrical video of how you set it up?

[@johnteague136]

Very nice setup…👍🙂

[@abrizuela2691]

Really nice setup

[@thatguyyouwant0078]

I got that same Alex's bar sign in my kitchen!!

[@chritopherherrera2349]

Wow! This is impressive.

[@johnmelon45]

I would love a video on the electric system of your van! Much love

[@curtiswicker6722]

I’ve been watching your videos and it makes me want to join the field

[@zach2763]

I just discovered your channel -- thanks for the van tour. The Dewalt drawers looks nice. Any worries about the plastic breaking over time? And I'd be interested in that video about how you have the van powered.

[@84locksmith]

Hey, that DeWalt drawers have been holding for a few years now.. I've added some new ones over time.. they are great and not expensive

[@collinallenoilfield]

New subscriber enjoying the long form content

[@titotito-it7bn]

Nice set up by the way!!

[@bossmacnick]

Love the van.... Good setup...

[@84locksmith]

Thanks 🙏

[@bounty9300]

Hello, thank you for this wonderful content, we hope that you will make a video about how anyone can start this business, what are the basic tools that he should start with, how to work, and an explanation about the use of tools, thank you very much❤

[@robertrice6679]

Nice truck setup!

[@locksmithburt7874]

Very nice, I have a medium medium Transit 250 and it is messy compared to your set up, your organized as I am in my dreams 😂

[@simeonhadev4062]

I have the same van and you have Amit better setup than mine good job

[@MrAd2780]

Bloody great setup mate from auckland new zealand

[@JerryLynch2]

Thanks for taking the time to share this video. Nicely organized and professional. What company makes the desk or assembly. I wish you all of the prosperity you desire!

[@Idc99982]

I'm impressed thank u

[@Tom-sm3tq]

Awesome video man

[@84locksmith]

Appreciate it 🤝😊

[@azskyking6542]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I'm about to build out a van. I was starting to wondering about the steel drawers vs. DeWalt drawers but you answered my question. If you had to put a dollar amount on your rig for insurance purposes what would you guess to replace it?

[@kingpollito1]

Ya te sigo en TikTok 👍🏼

[@domicorb30001]

Saw you on tiktok. Came to follow you here

[@Raynolasco9090]

Can you do a video about your electric system? Love the set up

[@EddieG22]

Awesome setup man! You should post more often on here maybe teach us how to be a locksmith 🔐

[@84locksmith]

Yes I want to... I will start to do a video probably twice a week soon..

[@kyleg5141]

Love the setup man you have a rolling workshop, i'm sure that is big money in that van and i'm curious about the weight of it. Auto repair places and towing shops always get scared when they see a van like that.

[@edjovi3677]

Hey love your work am a lic plumber and watch u ever post

[@Tyler-zo6il]

It would be cool to have an LED strip underneath the table with the blue mat, to light the drawers underneath there. Just a convenience thing that could be cool on a switch

[@mardizano]

Do a video on the electrical system in the van

[@groverthetoecutter7874]

I like those desalt drawers

[@joseg.5937]

Nice set up. Which brand is the small box container attached to the wall? Do that open by themselves when you are driving?

[@scottubz]

Live the videos i want to see a in depth look at what tools you use amd how you use them if you could please looking at starting my own business

[@carlosleon5527]

Saludos desde panamá excelente trabajo

[@richardconcha7159]

great setup how did you secured countertop to the van?

[@AmmarAlTameemi]

thanks for sharing all this can you recommend where we can get same Dewalt Drawer from

[@FTRVDenny]

I'm brand new to your channel and would love to see how you are getting electricity. Is it solar/? Maybe you already made a video. If so I'll find out very soon as I watch

[@forthelols8676]

Honestly eaven if i dont work as a lock smith i want one xd

[@Mm56677]

Can you make a video on the battery/inverter setup please?

[@user-bo5xw9lh1l]

Nice 👍

[@farsideofhell7644]

Nice

[@datafreak911]

Hello, thanks for the nice video. Which programming tools you are using and is it enough for everything? thanks

[@jinesfeliciano1342]

hi thanks for the video . do you have the part number for those dewalts plastic tool boxes ???

[@user-xj3eu7be2i]

What brand or what drawers are using on the wall for your transponder keys? And would definitely like to see a video on your power set up. Whole thing looks like a great setup!

[@josereal5216]

Very nice set up.. im currently working with locksmith company for 7 years.. we used the smart pro and autel 608. What do you personally recomend for programer

[@asegarra5279]

Cool set up. How long have you been in the business? How does someone become a locksmith?

[@simpleexpress5794]

I really like your setup.. where did you get the draw setup from?

[@Ronniejamesleo]

I have a locksmith technician coming here to change or fix the wafers in my ignition switch.seems to be a big issue on Hondas.

[@zovirax2012]

❤❤❤

[@megustapescar1]

Hola, te felicito por todo. ¿Se puede contratar un seguro por el vehículo y las herramientas? Hello, I congratulate you on everything. Can insurance be taken out for the vehicle and tools?

[@bjp003pierce2]

Very impressed with your set up. Do you mind answering how much you make in a year?

[@archipiota1]

great setup, you should start a training program.

[@edgarmartinez8821]

Hey awesome videos you have. Did you go to school to learn this trade? Im curious about it and might want to pursue it.

[@user-bq5ck8fd1b]

🏅

[@MyCallOfDuty]

Above the desk, he said that little cabinets have transponder keys who makes those and where do you find them the drawers?

[@MyCallOfDuty]

And what camera do you use very clear looks like a clips to your head

[@tegrity]

How do you mount the boxes for moving the tstack? Also what are those cabinets in the back driver side? Or are they single drawers?

[@nealleffler7522]

I've been looking to do some drawer setup in my trailer once I saw your van setup, I noticed in the back your using the newer style Dewalt drawers Vs the front is the older style, which do you prefer?

[@84locksmith]

So the drawers in the back are actually different they are bigger and they won't work to stack with the ones in the front. Not sure if they are newer or not but I love the ones that are in the front, they are great but they are small so they will work for small parts or tools. The ones in the back will be good for bigger stuff.. hope I was able to answer the question 🤝🙏😊

[@davidkelly3964]

Chris, I know that it gets cold in Idaho in the winter. Does the cold affect your equipment in the van?

[@allaboutworksvlog6529]

Also device that automatic..tnx you

[@casynsides4502]

What company do you order your key blanks from?

[@seananthony9357]

If I bought a van how much would you charge to help me build it out like yours

[@nismonotmugen]

Which app do you use to manage your key inventory?

[@brooklyn7941]

I was really about to say u serious about those rates on that photo lol

[@jimbarbwe1985]

How much do you have invested not including the van? It must be hard starting out building inventory and getting all tools machines required.

[@makeupmommy83]

I went to your website and looked at which cameras you use. Which do you prefer the GoPro or Insta360?

[@capsoulgotthehits6719]

what would you use your soldering station for?

[@N0B0DY_SP3C14L]

Looks like most of your space is taken up with inventory of replacement car keys. Is that the majority of your calls? When you have to pick the locks, are you mostly using Lishi tools?

[@chrismcclain7107]

Hi I’ve been watching and commenting on all your TikTok videos, as I am recently just starting out in the business myself well, mainly just as a side thing for me I suppose as I work at a little car lot but I’ve been dying to know I keep asking but I’m just assuming you get a lot of comments so you can’t reply to everything but I’m hoping you will reply to this but what is the name of your main key programmer you showed there? Basically the one in every single one of your tick-tock‘s? I simply started out with the same dolphin cutter, but then the top don key programmer which so far I’ve only done two keys and it seem to do all right but I just wanna make sure there isn’t any other better options out there programmer wise before I’m stuck with the one I have I would appreciate any and all feedback he truly been inspiration, and I appreciate all the videos and info you already have shared. Look forward to hearing from you.
