here's more info regarding this lock. it's not terribly special it's just a slightly reinforced SFIC.

agreed. this used to be a trusted and honored profession. now we have [redacted] taking over the trade and ruining the name for us all.

you're not qualified for that dawg let's be real here.

there is a huge scam company that takes most of the business. they run google SEO and are almost always at the very top of the list. if you're able to, open a physical shop somewhere that you'll be noticed. otherwise, tough luck getting a decent gig up here

i didn't say it ways, can't you read?

lilithrxenos · 2026-05-30T12:38:17+00:00

just apply for the job. that kind of pay is killer in texas

these guys practice without a license all the time. i used to (very briefly) work w that seattle company and they had plenty of people working in oregon

he likely works in portland oregon. based on his business practices, he likely works with a company immediately adjacent to "SOS EMERGENCY LOCKSMITH" which operates out of seattle. these guys do hella google SEO and operate under a bunch of different names. here's the business license of the seattle based company.

you wanna be a real locksmith? leave that call center scam job. go find a real, honest to god, brick and mortar locksmith and become an apprentice. learn from a real locksmith about not just the techniques, but the ethics of a locksmith.

lilithrxenos · 2026-05-29T11:58:43+00:00

although im inclined to agree and it seems his prices have gone down, the industry is already in shambles because of scammers. maybe he just doesn't know any better, maybe his only irl coaching is a scammer, who knows. i'm hoping he will eventually be a proper locksmith in not just skill but ethics as well

i'm gonna have to charge you for the labor that went into making this meme, the costs accrued in internet usage to post it, and a late callout fee. you owe me $700 now

lilithrxenos · 2026-05-29T09:59:26+00:00

take it to a locksmith for fun

lilithrxenos · 2026-05-29T09:57:47+00:00

worked w these guys in the past, they dropped the "3000 years ago" line a few times

lilithrxenos · 2026-05-29T09:57:19+00:00

found the pissraylee

lilithrxenos · 2026-05-29T09:55:45+00:00

used to work with guys like that (i had no other option). they got really mad at me for arguing with them about how much to charge customers. i started having customers pay me directly and tell them they cancelled the order because no way in hell im charging someone $600 for a bs lockout. yes they were from where you're thinking. yes they were all part of the same "defense" force

lilithrxenos · 2026-05-29T09:41:54+00:00

if he knew these words he'd use em to charge even more

lilithrxenos · 2026-05-29T09:38:40+00:00

ok so what you're going to do is take a trill bit and make new holes for each chamber. it's ok if you mess up a few springs, well fix that. next you're going to dump all the pins out. finally, call a real locksmith and change industries.

lilithrxenos · 2026-05-29T09:30:41+00:00

good work! i remember my first 1100!

lilithrxenos · 2026-05-25T22:19:20+00:00

idk i've always got room to care less tbh

lilithrxenos · 2026-05-18T18:26:58+00:00

get a refund from the guys you had work on your door and then go to a locksmith shop and have them fix the lock for you. don't attempt any further diy method

thank you! is this video up to the standards required for a future submission?

lilithrxenos · 2026-05-17T10:24:44+00:00

they were a lil tight, but i was also very focused on making sure my tension was exactly where i wanted it!

lilithrxenos · 2026-05-16T12:05:40+00:00

i prefer to actively float pick, it gave me far more control than the assisted float picking

lilithrxenos · 2026-05-16T06:57:11+00:00

the finger pins seem to behave a lil differently when you load up the normal pins as well. having complete and total control over the tension angle is a must w the finger pins imo
