I would love to get licensed but i dont need to in Kansas. Would it be beneficial still for me so it makes me look more professional?

[@LeeRiverGuy]

I’m 68 yrs old. Live in small community in lake county. Retired from government job. I did mostly carpentry till my knees gave out.
They sent me to the lock shop for my last 6 yrs, unfortunately the person with the most experience retired before I got there. The guy that wasn’t knowledgeable at all.
I learned how to do things on my own, we use the best lock system and I got very good at it.
I now live in lake country, and do the odd job here. Learning curve for residential locks has been interesting at the least.
Wish I would have had the opportunity to learn more.

[@jondoe9581]

Sounds a lot like the VA in Massachusetts locksmith shop.
The current ls was a carpenter, and as a vet and a locksmith the VA hospital is on an "un official" hiring freeze, so I have no way to get in. Also the current locksmith is just about to retire, thats life I guess.....

[@MetaVizions]

Thank you for getting in detail about the pace of population size. I want small town lifestyle but I need big city clients.

[@therationalanarchist]

[@tykaneshiro5209]

[@stanmarsh2499]

[@Carnivorous-Vegan]

State of FL keeps rejecting me, citing numerous past convictions for breaking & entering.

[@24hrMrLocksmith]

In Florida, if you have a pulse you get approved?

[@therationalanarchist]

Tell them that you are clearly good at the job and that it would be detrimental to the economy to keep you unemployed. See if the go for it.

[@stanmarsh2499]

Really? I wonder why they would deny you?
Seriously, you gave up the chance at several careers when you got caught. Move on.

[@John-td3ke]

Hi, I from Singapore , I am interested to be locksmith as career switching.

[@jimsutton4456]

Is there a reasonable way by inspection to determine if a B60N lock is a 5-pin or a 6-pin unit?

[@24hrMrLocksmith]

Insert a pick or a blank key and you can counts the bottom pins. Also, SC1 Lishi can count
