The Day Of The Average NY Locksmith

By Steve Barge

This New York locksmith is a mobile NY locksmith. He drives around and answers calls of people who need help with their locks. He is on his way to help a woman who locked herself out of her house. She was a pain on the telephone when she spoke to the NY locksmith. The NY locksmith wonders as he drives to the woman's house if she will keep up her level of obnoxiousness without having a heart attack. He arrives at his destination grabs his tool box and walks up the driveway to meet the woman.

He fixes the lock and jokes with the woman. She asks him what she can do to prevent this from happening again. He says live in a state where this particular lock is not sold. He likes to have fun on his job and when you are dealing with people with lock problems you need a sense of humor.

He drives off to his next job reminding us that he has not had a traffic accident in a whole year and that he lives by the credo that safetiness is next to Godliness. The next call he makes is at a house with another Baldwin lock.

He says the inner mechanism needs repair. He calibrates the bolt slider very carefully because even a thousandth of an inch can make a difference. This can be nerve wracking work because he is dealing with minute details.

The next call is to a parking lot where a woman has locked her keys in her car and she does not want to miss an appointment. The NY locksmith uses a slim jim, a window wedge and window seal pusher. He uses the pusher to clear an opening and slips the wedge to hold the space open. He then uses the slim jim, a thin metal device into the opening.

He then slides the slim jim down feeling for the door lock release. He then pulls the wedge back to see down the door. He sees the release and grabs it with the slim jim hook and gives a yank the door lock springs open. The man is grateful and will not miss his appointment. He even gives the NY locksmith a ten percent tip.

To open a car door he will employ a manual wedge and then a door stop. He can also use an air wedge. He puts this between the door and frame. He can then pump up the air wedge allowing him access with his tool. He can put a lasso tool on older cars that have old style locks. He can use this to pull latch locks up.

He has an auto buster for GM cars that have slide locks. In the NY locksmith's tool box are an array of tools he can help you with when you lock yourself out. Keep your the number to your NY locksmith on your cell phone. And do not lose your cell phone. - 30412
