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.

[@curlyq1269]

[@Level3workbench]

Thank you for what you do

[@breached7288]

Awesome educational video. This helped me to understand a lot about SFIC. #lockboss

[@usernamemykel]

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.

[@clksupplies]

Thanks for the encouragement. -PJ

Very easy to understand #lockboss

[@marlenaparamore9714]

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

[@buz375]

These locks are #1in my opinion #lockboss

[@kevin.gadgeteastman7531]

This is great info I have now been working with a lot of cores but we are using Yale. And I am still learning sooooo much and u can’t hurry through this because I’d the different key ways will screw u over🧐. Thank you for the lessons # lockboss

[@clksupplies]

You bet! Thanks Kevin- PJ

[@kingboxing2481]

Thanks I learned a lot is it possible that you make a video on explaining Key cloning thanks

[@clksupplies]

Sure!-PJ

[@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.

[@bryanmckeehan3892]

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.

[@ciusesnal4335]

I live in New Jersey . I want to take this class

[@polarbear7334]

I learned alot #lockboss

[@jaybig360]

I’m having a hard time pinning ic cylinders fast. Any suggestions? Thank you

[@vernondollhopf3249]

Never thought of saving the chips #lockboss

[@kevin.gadgeteastman7531]

Great video but damn this is intimidating so I will need to process it slowwwwwlllyyyy 🤣#lockboss so much to learn 😞

[@clksupplies]

You can do it! -PJ

[@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"

[@tonygarlington4663]

Do you have any videos on LFIC core locks?

[@clksupplies]

Yes pls search lfic on our channel -PJ

[@chrismckinney1849]

I'm taking on-line courses I know basics but there doing stuff I've never heard of?

[@clksupplies]

I’m not sure what you mean? -PJ

[@buz375]

Where do our comments go #lockboss

[@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.
