So, you have a customer with a Series 1000 Simplex. The door is locked and the person with the combo just quit his job. There is no key override. Do you know how to bypass this lock?? Well, if you came to our October LSA meeting you would. The amount of information that is put out at our meetings is invaluable. And, it’s FREE+all you have to do is show up. For the ‘smiths that have been doing this for 30 or so years, we need you to show up to help out the newbie’s. At our last meeting Ray showed us how he opened a Series 1000 Simplex. We had some real good partici-pation from Ray, Sal, John, Steve and others. Thank you. This meeting we will have a small slide show of how you open the simplex lock. I invite all members to also bring in slide shows or pictures on other topics to help train others on subjects of locksmithing that you may be good at but others not so much. Having members develop something like it to discuss at each of the meetings would be great. It does not need to be a long presentation. 5 minutes, maybe 10 is fine+longer if you like. Let me know your thoughts. I would also like to go over what I call a 'rusty nail'. This is where we talk about the basic skills we use every day to do our job more effectively; things like: how to use basic wood working tools, the difference between sheet metal and wood screws, and other basic knowledge tips for locksmithing.

The last half of the meeting will be a tool review. This is where you bring in a tool that you are really good at and use every day or are not quite sure how it works. We have over 450 years of experience in this organization and chances are someone here will know it’s use. The National Locksmith Magazine did articles on new tools and reviewed them. The concept is good, and this is what we will be doing this month. Whatever you feel would be beneficial for the group, bring up. They don’t have to be new tools, things like the original tool caddie is fine. Ideas for tools to bring in are: tools you may have bought used that did not come with instructions, or if you have a favorite tool that you use a lot and would like to demonstrate its use, bring it in+like the Lishi. Also, if you have a tool that you are not sure of how it works bring it in, someone here will know how to use it+ “don’t be shy, everyone

here has bought a tool that they did not know how to use at first, including me.” We need lots of participation. I would like to see everyone bring one thing in. We might not have enough time to go around the whole room, but then again, we just might. f you know the cost and where to get it bring that up also. See you Thursday.

ROGUE’S ROW — OCTOBER LSA MEETING PIX ROBERT ROVINSKY, CPL - OFFICIAL LSA PHOTOGRAPHER


“Kill two birds with one stone” is a popular idiom that says that it’s possi-

ble to solve two problems with one device or one action. With this inaugural

column I figured I would apply this idiom to the topic at hand: scammers.

What if you could educate existing and potential customers about scammers

AND showcase your business at the same time? Furthermore, what if you

could do this from the comfort of your home office or couch? Turns out you

can. Facebook has made it very convenient to communicate with our neighbors

and communities. If you have not already joined your neighborhood or com-

munities Facebook Group(s), do so. Once you are part of the Group (s), do

your best to relay what you know about scammers and how your neighbors/

community can protect themselves from being scammed. Use the opportunity

to introduce your company and offerings as well. Inform the consumer AND

promote your business. You know, kill

two birds with one stone.

November's Meeting: The subject is How to Open a

Kaba Series 1000 Lock. We will give some details about the lock and continue where Ray Sinai, CML left off at the last meeting.

Ray’s Ways —

“What is Networking All About….

Why Join the Locksmith Security Association ?” -by Ray Sinai, CML LSA Newsletter Editor; Past LSA President


Last month I submitted a question to the membership via the newsletter. I was in need of Dexter keyway cylinders. Since Dexter has been extinct for more than two decades, it seems that all of the (aftermarket) manufacturers have ceased producing the Dexter keyway cylinder. In response to my request, I was given a full box of Dexter mortise cylinders by our Vice Presi-dent, Jim Whidden. I offered to pay him for the cylinders and he refused my money. This is the true essence of Networking. Forty years ago, when I started my locksmith career, there were those in the trade that wouldn’t give me the time of day. They didn’t want their “trade se-crets” to be known. I realize that it is a different time now, you can get most information regarding our trade via the internet, as long as you know what you are looking for. It is also about the human con-nection, fellow tradesmen helping each other. In my effort to give back to the Locksmith Security Association, I have a few items that might be of use to my fellow locksmiths. If you are interested in any of these items, please let me know. I will be happy to bring these items to the next meeting, but I since my van has limited space, I can’t bring them all unless I am shown some interest. Here are a few items that I am willing to part with for no charge.

♦ I phone model 5 ♦ Black and Decker router, mainly used for wood ♦ Various (used) combination padlocks ♦ Rubbermaid plastic 3 tier 4 - wheeled cart (great for moving tools and materials on jobs in large

facilities) ♦ Master shop sign / clock ♦ “OPEN “ sign for shop ♦ Lab brand .005 bottom pins (various sizes), new in packages ♦ HPC code books ♦ Various plastic bins for storing parts ♦ A large collection of AL series Schlage levers – take offs, great for parts (used) ♦ A large collection of Kwikset residential knobs and deadbolts – various finishes (used) ♦ A large collection of Kaba / Unican parts for L1000 lever and 1000 knobs (used) ♦ Numerous Adams Rite electric release faceplates (new)

Sorry, you must be an LSA member to receive these items. If you are interested in any of these items, contact me and I will bring to the next meeting. I can be reached at [email protected] or 248 321 4896. See you all soon.
