There are two common ways that locksmiths remove the shear head bolts or fracture bolts used on automotive steering columns. One is by using a pointed punch and hammer to strike the outer diameter in a counterclockwise direction to loosen them while the other is to grind a slot into the top to act as a screwdriver flat slot to unscrew them. Some locksmith even resort to using an impact wrench or needing to attach a vice grip to a square screwdriver to break the threads free. These methods can often be problematic, and great care needs to be given to avoid damage if the steering column itself has not been lowered or removed enough to provide clearance for these tools between the dash and steering wheel. The Society of Professional Locksmiths recommends a few more creative time saving methods which can help to avoid potential damage. Using an automatic center punch to remove the shear head bolts from automotive steering lock harnesses is very easily accomplished and does not require any steering columns to be lowered or removed. Placing the tip of the tool on the outer edge of the shear head bolt and depressing it while applying counterclockwise pressure will quickly loosen them. Using a rubber pencil eraser against the top of the bolt and continuing to rotate counterclockwise will remove the bolt. Another removal method that does not require lowering the column is to drill into the center of the shear head bolts approximately 1/8th of an inch and then using a hex key like one from the Xcelite Hex Socket Driver Set to be inserted into the hole in order to easily unscrew the bolt. Inserting a slightly larger socket type hex key into the hole, and giving it a gentle tap will allow the hex shape of the key to cut into the drilled circle of the hole, thereby gripping the bolt firmly. To reassemble the column mounting bracket, you can reuse the old bolts and screw them in quickly.

Our product testers have no idea of what they may receive or when. It is another win-win program developed by the SOPL and I love it! ”, Barry Cambell Director of Operations.

The SOPL has been advocating that a "Good" Locksmith works hard to earn the trust and confidence of their clients by providing solutions to their security needs. It is very simple to do. Whatever the problem, automotive, residential or commercial, A “Good” Locksmith delivers the solution at affordable prices. and by giving customers the service and respect they deserve. There is no magic to this and the result is a loyal following of satisfied customers, who by word of mouth will refer family and friends who also will become satisfied customers. There is nothing better than word of mouth advertising and referrals. It worked for Fabrege Organics Shampoo! The commercials for this shampoo were legendary, claiming "If you tell two friends about their product, then they'll tell two friends, and so on and so on and so on". Consider it viral social media without a computer, and it has worked from the beginning of time, still today and long into the future. No search engines or Google places needed! The secret to this is having a passionate about your locksmith services. You have to love what you do and not think of it as just a job. Spending time to "walk" your demographic area to "meet and greet" consumers in your area is the key. Stop the world for a day and using the time to actually "shake hands and kiss the babies" puts the "GOOD" locksmith in the hearts and minds of the consumer, and it has more value than reliance on any search engine or lead generation service can offer. The consumer wants to have a relationship with their locksmith. They can easily connect with a "GOOD" locksmith when searching the Internet if they must by seeing that the locksmiths website is "real, wholesome and organic" (not the Fabrege' Shampoo!). When your website is relaxed and they see you are real, and not the canned, stiff store bought kind, it resonates. When there is a story as to who their service provider is, there is a connection. Having your personal image on your site, a personal video and even having your family part of delivering your message, it hits home. If your looking to earn good clients for life, you have to think of it as rhyme of "churn and burn" to make it happen. Locksmith Mike Galdine of GOOD Locksmiths of Bonita Springs, FL. understands the churn and burn of running a successful mobile locksmith business as well as the rhymes he has been rocking on the microphone since the early 1990's. Mike has a passion for "rapping", but on a specific genre. His passion actually turns out to be a terrific organic benefit. If we look at the amount of connections he has in social media, he just might be the best known locksmith in his area, and who needs Google or the yellow Pages when you are the Locksmith of Rhyme! He has performed with such groups as De La Soul, Inner Circle, Ruby Blue, Mint Condition and others. With original songs that have drawn national exposure, known as Mikey "G" , he prides himself in serving to glorify GOD with his lyrical compositions.... Check him out, then tell two friends, who will tell two friends and so on, and so on!!! It is that easy to find a GOOD Locksmith.

"You get all of me" John Bethea, Johnny Locks Door step service with a smile! Mobile locksmiths bring the walk-in retail store to your door. Your time management is valuable and the mobile locksmith delivers concierge service when the rest of the world expects the consumer to "come to them". Your mobile locksmith is a member of your community and they take great pride in operating a mobile business that they can provide in their neighborhood. Mobile locksmiths exemplify the American entrepreneurial spirit who provide a valuable service when you need them. Their reputations are on the line and they understand this. Consumers often express how "cool" the inside of the mobile locksmiths service vans look. They are a rolling shop, with a variety of equipment, work benches, tools and inventory. Service vehicles come in a variety of shapes, sizes and creative designs. Everything from the jumbo sizes in Sprinter Vans and Ambulances, to the fuel efficient mini or micro vehicles. I have even seen a locksmith responding to a call using a hand truck equipped with a key machine, on a subway! Whatever it takes to get the job done, it is all a matter of skill and ability that measures your locksmith, not the size or type of vehicle they use to service your needs. Consider the value of a mobile locksmith when you compare the alternatives. When you are locked out of your home or automobile, how much is it worth for you to lose time or possible break a window or damage a door? When you need a lock repaired or replace, why run all around town trying to find the right one, or having to settle on buying only what the local retail shop or big box stores sell? Your mobile locksmith will analyze your needs and supply you with professional grade product.
Many larger lock shop operations set up multiple retail locations to make the consumer believe they are contacting different companies when seeking estimates. In reality, you are getting the same company, which limits your knowledge of options or competitive pricing. When you call your mobile locksmith, they should announce the name of their business and their name as well. If they answer the call with "Locksmith", ask the the name of their company. If they do not provide you this information - Hang Up! The mobile locksmith is the entire business. They want you to know who they are! Ask for their name as well and if they will be the person responding to your call. Ask about the cost of the trip or travel charge. If you only need a duplicate key made, the mobile locksmith may not be the most economical choice, but if you ask the locksmith to notify you when they are in your area, they may be able to accommodate you. Remember, the mobile locksmith is a business like any other and has expenses, but they want you as a customer, so give them the opportunity. Also, they cannot "beam" themselves up as in the Sci-Fi movies to arrive at your location within minutes of your call. Ask for an "estimated time of arrival or ETA' and give them a chance to get to you before you call others and end up with several arriving at the same time. You will be charged for the trip charge for the cost of their time and expense of their vehicle to get there! Mobile locksmiths are trained professionals who can install, repair and restore your security hardware with more efficiency and often at lower cost than retail shops. They are shops on wheels with lower overhead costs, which means more value for the consumer. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 a years, holidays and bad weather, your professional mobile locksmith is a good choice. Get to know your local mobile locksmith before you need service and remember, when you need them, they will come to you. That is service! The Society of Professional Locksmiths supports the mobile locksmith, solopreneurs, micropreneurs and Mom & Pop shop operations.
