What it doesn't show is time to get there and costs for the keys and equipment.

I agree but at £120 for a basic unlock job to £220 for a single duplicate key and near double that for two it wouldn't take long to get your money back if you lived in a city or big town, i imagine he also picks other locks when necessary i have seen those picks used on house door locks and padlocks.

Bloody hell, is this even a legitimate thing?

When I was was ten years old I asked for a lock pick set for my birthday (I think my parents were just glad I wasn't into anything serial killer-ish), I spent months perfecting the skill as a party trick, eventually easily opening Yale locks and such.

I haven't practiced in a long time but it looks like there's some serious money to be made here...

Yes, how do you think the dealer would have got in and programmed a new key.

I was quiet into this as well a few years back. Didn't get to far but came in useful a few times.
Don't try and take a set of lock picks into HM parliament....

So much this. Not to mention having to know how to do it.

Indeed - you’re not paying for 10 minutes he took to do that, but the 10+ years of training and experience he has that allowed him to do it in 10 minutes.

Plus it looks like he has quite a lot of expensive kit that not many others will have.

 

[Chippy_Tea]

In the videos he often mentions taking people on and training them i wonder if he is going to try a franchise type business i guess there must be a lot more demand than i thought.

 

[JockyBrewer]

Or maybe there is less demand, and it’s more profitable to make a video about how you can make £420 in 10 minutes if you just buy my training course.

I would have said that was a good bet but he hardly ever mentions it and he makes a lot of videos.

 

[MashBag]

10 mins sounds good, but I'll bet he doesn't have a full diary of appointments.

And that van is v. well kitted out.

There's a joke along the lines of a mechanic who charged £150 for a job fixing a car.
All he did was hit the engine with a spanner.
When the car owner asked how the £150 was calculated, the mechanic said, £20 for the spanner and £130 for knowing where to hit the engine.

 

[MashBag]

I do know a locksmith who opened someone's boot, to retrieve their keys. The women refused to pay £80, so he dropped them back in the boot, shut it and walked off.

Woman got angry, but called him back. Promised to pay.

This time the bill was £160. She paid.

Anyone tried the tape on the window to get in the car?
My Mrs Nissan won't let you lock the car with the keys in it...it beeps a lot.

Same here as soon as you open the door it beeps loudly i often wonder how they lock their car keys in the ignition.

Do you mean packing tape?

 

[Clint]

Yeah...plaster a load onto the window in a crisscross leaving some pulling tails down the door then pull the window down.

 

[MashBag]

I like your thinking. Does that work?

 

[Clint]

Plenty of videos on YouTube...dunno if they're real.
