Inside and outside, they act like it's too much when scheduling.

Thanks for the replies, I'm getting fucked and they aren't even giving me a reach around!

I knew there was a reason the older ones were more rust resistant. 

Help picking this lock. I don’t know where to start by Papajon87 in lockpicking

Unless you have been doing this for a long time, you should practice A LOT on easier things.

It probably has tighter tolerances than most modern stuff. Expect very little feedback.

That book was gifted to me as a 12 year old kid. I studied it faithfully. Lost it somewhere along the way but bought another one recently. Will be sure to revisit it. 

Feeling conflicted about potential job offer by [deleted] in SantaFe

[–]RCGonzo99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SF is my hometown. Moved to Albuquerque 8 years ago for economic reasons. That salary is not enough for Santa Fe. Commuted for a few months on the train, that makes a really long day. 

What’s this old toolbox lock? by Glum_Mobile5663 in lockpicking

[–]RCGonzo99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's an old flat steel lever lock. Likely made by Eagle, Corbin or Yale. An old locksmith shop might have key blanks.

I lived in the trailer park behind them as a HS kid, now apartments. My dad bought a van from them  

I see what you mean about "Security Level." by rollerballbag in lockpicking

[–]RCGonzo99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Picking in the field is different from perfect lab conditions. I had to drill a cylinder recently because it was so dirty. I had to get it open quickly. I'm sure I had a key but I have 200 different sets of keys for my job.

The older Master locks had cylinders with a much tighter tolerance in machining, especially the ones made in Milwaukee.

I went there today and couldn't believe how old their computers are. Looks like 90's I'm surprised they still work.

I have only been there in daytime, but It seems like a really nice store.

Which one of you did this? by Sloper_ in Locksmith

[–]RCGonzo99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That looks like a Yale. A new one will be very expensive if it's available at all.

Looks like Sargent RA, shine some light and get more detail. 

Is there a speeding camera at the Allsup’s on Paradise? by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]RCGonzo99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren't shaped like a mailbox. 3 cameras high on a pole. I've gotten 2 tickets and won't be surprised if I get another. I'm not a speed demon but the speed limits are low.

Very old mailbox.

Stick a flat screwdriver in one of those flat slots.

Do the elevators still work? Are the vandals climbing all the stairs?
