Locksmithing 101: SFIC Training Part 1: Understanding the Keys, Cores, and Locks

[@Liberty4Ever]

Good video. Very informative. Unfortunately, KZbin made me watch seven ads to see this 11 minute video, which was very distracting.

[@muhdooluhahblungata491]

You mean these unprecedented times.

You're a good instructor - I know a good instructor when I see/hear one, as my instructor at the National School of Locksmithing and Alarms (now defunct), in 1983, was Don O'Shall, author of locksmithing reference books.

Thanks for the encouragement. -PJ

Hello, Can you recommend what type of accreditation a school should have for Locksmith training?

[@Leo-n6h9q]

Very cool. Lock father is awesome and SCORE!!! Alice 😃 lock boss

[@torchofkck4989]

Very nicely done. I think that you should have briefly touched a bit on A1, A2, A3, , variants... When discussing cores & leaving folks hanging for upcoming conclusion video.

[@clksupplies]

Hi, Thanks for your input. You have good points I should have considered. - PJ

[@torchofkck4989]

@@clksupplies, Just one of many ways to do it. Actually, a video of variants... Recognizing, comparison, & choosing (if installing)... Could be anywhere from a brief reference, to a brief stand alone vid.

[@peteo4454]

Never heard of the A1 system.

[@bluespork3248]

Nailed it

I’m not sure what you mean? -PJ

[@kevin.gadgeteastman7531]

[@clksupplies]

You can do it! -PJ

[@michaellawrence1531]

Ive been a locksmith for 23 years, Best original, Best Coremax and Medeco SFIC are all I deal with, A3 is sooo much better, More changes per MK than A2 and A4.

[@ciusesnal4335]

Where can I take this class ? I live in New Jersey

[@aviationnationhd3760]

Probably somewhere in NJ! But i think NJ had a locksmith license requirement.

Great

Cuts should be called out thusly: Tip to bow for SFIC and bow to tip for conventional cylinders. Left to right and right to left depend entirely on which hand you’re holding the key in.

[@sleekkeyservice4837]

Very easy to understand #lockboss

[@ryanokane9965]

Definitely overwhelming and intimidating.. Du to cost and thinking i wouldn't be needing as many tools i moved away from automotive just trying to start up but after this 5 min video i have no idea expens and complexity.. I cant afford to make any financial mistakes purchasing let alone on the job.. Someone mentioned more on differences between A1 A2 A3 and whatever else definitely would have helped before jumping around so much between pins locks barrels and everything else in an actual 2 min video when commercials fin..

[@clksupplies]

Watch part 2 and 3 it should help-PJ

[@michaellawrence1531]

Auto work is the bottom of the barrel !! "I want it done now, I want it done for almost nothing" and always " My Brake lights worked before you made that key for my car"
