Default Locksmithing? Isn't that kinda like Knife Sharpening?

They would sharpen knives, scissors and stuff like that.

Today a $10.00 tool does it.


There is no $10.00 tool that can properly sharpen knives and scissors.
This is no tool that an unskilled user can sharpen knives and scissors with.



What happened?
People got smart.
Tools got better.\
The internet exposed the *secrets* of the braindead locksmith.

Isn't locksmithing kind of like that?

These days any idiot can install a lockset.

Carpenters do the project and development housing jobs.
Supers/Janitorial in'juneers do the already built apartment houses.

Locksmithing is obsolete.

What is the point of spending hours rebuilding some lockset,
fabricating pieces and so forth when the entire dammed thing cost
$29.95?


I would not work on a $29.95 lock set. But I should would be willing to
have a good lock worked on.



I can see it for antique's, but no person with half an ounce of common
sense would let a locksmith anywhere near an antique lock.

They would drill it and ruin it in short order.

So what do locksmiths do for a second career?

Sell ice?

BWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
