Mobile locksmiths sure need to fit a lock inside of their service vehicles, right? Did you like the video? Do you have any more video ideas? Let us know here in the comment section!

Great video. A bit overwhelming for a noobie into locksmith ing but a wealth of knowledge. I agree, go out and make your service known and what you offer and offer service and products. You can’t open a business and expect and wait for customers to just walk in, go out and introduce yourself, pass a 1, 000 cards out, make signs, advertise.

Heard you mention a double cylinder. Did this for long time and I hated to install doubles. I was always afraid if someone got caught in their own place when there may have been an emergency like a fire and they couldn't find they key. What I did was offer as an alternative the single cylinder deadbolt and I would install a sheet of bullet proof Lexon over the window in their door so it couldn't be smashed and the deadbolt opened.

09:27 It's not ripping anyone off. You are solving problems. A new lock or key is solving the problem you were called out for. Identifying the lack of additional security solutions such as peep holes and kick plates and having the material and ability to complete the job without an additional call out fee is simply solving a problem for a customer that they didn't know they had until you suggested you could fix it. As long as you quote a cost and bill it after they agree you did nothing wrong. Quite the opposite from ripping anyone off.

I would like to have a van like this here in Brazil

Nice video. It's damn near how my van was setup, tools and all.

thanks for the video, i was surprised that 3/4 of the vid passed and you were still showing things in regular locksmiths of houses, auto locksmith is the title, most of this was mute, i would of realy liked more on legal auto locksmiths and lishis you need, cheers, Mal in BC

Since you have a good size van. I see a huge upscale opportunity to add an exterior lift and lower rack system for exterior home doors. I mean just a few varieties as a standard mid to upper grade security level must haves.

There are many devices and some I never saw before

What are some suppliers who will send out starter packs? New mobile locksmith seeking guidance and pointers.

How would you rate the lucrativeness of this business? Obviously I understand that every business differs with area and density, but for someone in a pretty dense area thinking about starting their own locksmithing business for mainly car and home lockouts, key copying (analog and digital). Would it be worth it to do a one man band for a while until getting enough to get employees?

8:24, you mentioned double cylinder deadbolt, does your fire code allow those on residential applications? They don’t where I’m at. It’s a lawsuit waiting to happen I guess cause kids lose the key inside or they can’t get out in case of smoke and fire. Every State and local AHJ has their own rules though. I was warned early on to not offer them in residential but it’s fine in commercial applications. We’re not even allowed to rekey them on a home but I know locksmiths do. I will rekey those locks if it’s not on the door. Thanks for sharing. Cool channel🙏🏼✌🏼.

Where would suggest learning the trade? I’ve seen a couple online tech colleges… they worth it?

[swittykoh]

[kevinkoepke]

Thanks Uriah. Great tour! It's nice to see how different locksmiths outfit their vans.
Have you ever considered insulating the van from the hot Texas weather?

Question... how do you make a key for a newer Chevrolet SUV if owner can't locate original key?... what device can be used to make a physical key...not copy
