Society of Professional Locksmiths

"I have enjoyed my treks through the SOPL threads. The tone is a bit more friendly than the TNL logs, and more technically locksmith oriented than ClearStar."   Robert Sieveking, Rockford, IL

This is going out to everyone that missed out on a great educational experience last night. If you didn't sign up or participate in the Key Generation Class on the internet last night, thats too bad! Education is "key", and I feel sorry for anyone that doesn't think that way. The things learned here can only help us in our business. In NJ we need CEU's for Licensing, but whether you need them or not, you really should take advantage of what this site has to offer. I can honestly say, after over 18 years of being a locksmith, I learned a few things last night that will not only save me time, but make me money, because we all know that "Time IS Money!"  Professionally speaking my opinion is, that, the next time an opportunity like this rolls around, get in on it. You won't be sorry, I wasn't!

Last night after a very busy day of putting in door closers and panic bars I was really tired but I had to stay at the office computer because I signed up for one of the SOPL virtual classes.  Let me tell you this class was so informative and so clear and so well put together that it really blew me away. I have been a locksmith so long that nothing really surprises me.. This surprised me! It covered all the basics and went into full detail and made this so real and so much fun I stayed wide awake and took in more information than I ever had in any class I was ever in! Everything we discussed was taught from A-Z and it was not even close to boring, it was amazing!
