In 1945, Raymond Deuel with his friend, Gil, founded GilRay Tools. Their partnership was short, but GilRay's reputation was on it's way. By 1960, Ray needed a larger building and built the one we use today at 1306 McGraw St., Bay City, Michigan. The early 1980's brought David Deuel, Ray's son, on the scene. Dave had vision to expand beyond sharpening to manufacturing cutters for the Locksmith industry. Some of our customers have included the well-known FRAMON MANUFACTURING CO. GilRay will restore the cutters to their original print specifications. Of course, the diameters become a few thousandths smaller with each sharpening. They also sharpen Chisels, End Mills, Hole Saws, Spur Bits, and Wood Auger Bits! Dave became very knowledgeable about Key Machines and became a great help to thousands of Locksmiths worldwide Source: http://gilraytools.com/home

The SOPL has a comprehensive training program with robust online proficiency testing with state approvals, it has a social network and social media platform packed with feature rich resources and communication systems, a live virtual classroom and a clean and professional discussion forum void of censorship or patrongage. But what makes this all interesting is that it is peer driven and the power to succeed is in the hands of the actual locksmiths not a centralized minority group operating with a broken 1950's model of command & control. Some have said bridges have been burned. Sadly, these are the same individuals who were dragging down the industry, crushing the forward momentum and opportunities of the locksmith. One thing that can be said in any walk of life and particularly in the locksmith industry, is that when someone is succeeding you will always have those who will try to prevent them from doing so. For the most part it is done out of ignorance, but some do it because they don't like the idea that others can achieve what they cannot. I have seen this behavior in many locksmiths in the field and on particular industry forums. The ease at which they bad mouth others or tell lies long enough that they become truth not only to themselves, but others is endless. So when someone says that "bridges have been burned", look at it as a good thing and embrace it with enthusiasm. Those flames are beacons in the night to help you avoid the tragedy on the other side. There are bridges in life that lead to nowhere and should be left behind. The SOPL has built a new road to travel, one with unlimited potential and opportunities for the locksmiths which is affordable, exciting and original. Those claiming bridges have been burned do so because they are left standing on the other side, numb and lifeless looking across the abyss at what they worked so hard at trying to pull down and failed. Burn Baby, Burn! If you are a locksmith looking for a complete electronics and basic electricity course, then this is it! Plus it is completely FREE!
Free is good, but when you compare all the collected resources the SOPL has assembled for you, there is no comparison. There are many hours of repeatable online webcasts that you can participate in at any time and play them back as many times as you need.
