Avoiding Lockout

Many people had the stressful experience of being locked out of their home. However, there are many things that can be done in a situation like that without having to call a professional locksmith in order to bail you out. In order to provide a solution for these types of situations, a protection backup plan must be made. However, it should not come on the expense of your home security.

The first thing to do to prepare yourself for a lockout type of situation is keeping extra keys. Keeping an extra key in your wallet for example can be a great backup plan in case your main set of keys are lost, forgotten or misplaced. One of the disadvantages in a plan such as that could be the fact that you might not have the wallet with you at all times.

A second solution would be hiding a set of keys in a safe place. There are many small key boxes in the market that can be purchased in order to put keys inside them and hide the box in a place where it will not be noticeable to the public. A good example is a lock box that many realtors use. Most of these boxes work with a code that would need to be used in order to access it.

If you are in a fairly close relationship with your neighbors, a good idea would be leaving a copy of your key with them as well. It is a safe solution where you would know that the key won't fall into the wrong hands by mistake, something that can happen if you hide it in the wrong place. The only disadvantage with this solution would be the availability of the neighbor in that particular time of emergency.

Last but not least is the ultimate solution of upgrading your locks to a key-less entry lock system. One of the growing technology nowadays for home security is the use of key-less entry lock systems. These types of locks completely eliminate the need to manage the keys to your home. With tyes of locks such as keypads and bio-metric systems, you won't have to worry about tracking your keys ever again!

High Security Locks for Discounts

Often I would hear stories that customer would tell me from previous experience calling a professional locksmith to do a service. I got a call recently from a customer who needed the locks at her home changed. During the time I was working on the locks, she told me about a time she was locked out of her home and had to call a locksmith for a lockout service. She said the technician was able to come and get her inside her house in no time. However, that was not why she was telling me the story. The point of the tale was what the technician actually told her while unlocking the lock. He mentioned that upgrading the locks on the doors surrounding her home will give her a major reduction in her home insurance payments.

As she was telling me the story, I understood why she had called to have her lock changes to an upgraded lock system. Monthly insurance payments can be expensive and many professional locksmith and security companies know that insurance companies do reward home owners for having good security features on their home such as high security locks and even a deadbolt lock!

Most of the time, people will go to the hardware store to buy locks. Most don't know, but the locks being sold there, have a particular grading system on them. This type of grade system was specifically implemented by various professional institutes and associations to further give the customer information about the product he/she about to purchase. The grading system is very simple divided to 3 different grades 1, 2 and 3 with 1 being the most secure with the highest quality. However, most homeowners do not comprehend the difference between these types of locks. This is when a professional locksmith comes into the picture.

Most insurance companies will have policies where they would offer discounts if you have a particular lock system installed. Just to be on the safe side, it is always recommended calling the insurance company first and see if you qualify for a discount in case a high security lock was installed in your home. Most of the time, if the insurance company will confirm they offer such discount, they will require having one of the locksmith companies they work with to come and do the installation or at least inspect the installation and product if was done by a different locksmith technician or company. This process may sound expensive, but will save money in the long run on monthly insurance payments.

Working Under a Dashboard with Bi-Focal Glasses Tip

A problem that I'm sure many locksmith technicians had came across before, was looking up when are under an automobile dashboard while wearing  bi-focal glasses. Although during the years I ran into many different solutions, the following is the one I found most effective.

To be honest, wearing the bi-focals glasses upside down is not very effective and wearing them on the end of your nose is not very comfortable. Also, for those locksmith technicians who are getting old (like me), crawling underneath is not really an option, and even if they could looking up far enough to see what they need to see would be very difficult.

My solution was to have the lens duplicated on the top with the same or just a shade weaker, prescriptions lens cut. I can now see through the center of the lens, or if it needs to be magnified by the bi-focal, I can look through either the top or the bottom of my glasses.

Ford 10-Cut Ignition Tip

Like most locksmith technicians, using a roll pins to prevent the ears from spinning on a ford 10 cut ignition is a nice way to repair the problem. However, I have found that a .350 lab pan also works well. Simply align the keyway face plate (use a blank key) and drill the proper sized hole. Put in a dab of superglue or Loctite then the lab pin and the job is finished.

although the role pin is very secure, I have found that the lab pin works just as well and only takes about 10 minutes to do the entire job. Fast, simple and easy. And best of all, we all have pinning kits on the truck, so there’s little hunting for the right part to do the job
