You will also find an all-new chapter on frequently asked questions and a complete registered professional locksmith examination. Written by a master locksmith and experienced author, the Seventh Edition offers detailed coverage of the latest techniques for lockpicking and fixing, safe opening and servicing, auto lock releasing, and electronic and high-security mechanical lock maintenance. You will also learn how to conduct a home security survey, get hired as a professional locksmith--even start up and run your own locksmithing business.
