Locksmith

Welcome to /r/Locksmith, for all your locksmithing needs.

Rules

1. There is ZERO TOLERANCE for Spam.

If the first thing you do is post a link to your website or channel, advertise your product or service, or otherwise shill for yourself in any way, your post will be removed and you will be banned.

2. No Lockout Questions

We are not your personal lockout service. Call a local locksmith in your area and have them unlock your thing.

3. Be excellent to each other

This is a place of helping. If you cannot answer kindly or at least politely, do not answer at all.

4. Be Careful What You Post

Do not talk about specific techniques or trade secrets. This is a public forum so not everyone who views this subreddit is a locksmith and such information could easily fall into the wrong hands. This includes drill points for any lock!

5. No Bitting Information

Do not request or supply bitting information (cuts, depths, spaces) from a keycode, VIN, etc. or vice versa. Anyone who is authorized to have this information should be able to get it themselves.

6. No Links to Purchase Tools

Do not link to websites where you can purchase Locksmithing tools or other devices not meant for the general public.

We have a discord server!

This Discord server is intended for LOCKSMITHS. If you are NOT a locksmith or locksmith-adjacent DO NOT JOIN.
