You really responded to a comment about a skeptical locksmith and ended by saying that most baby boomers were sheltered and spoiled.

@@nullobject7966 But if he is a locksmith with 42 years that is this ignorant isnt it a good thing to warn potential clients of his lazy incomitance? They saved someone an unnecessary destructive entry. Is Billy's money more important then the clients that he is under serving?

Or as they say, if you think your the best and that you know everything, it means that you don’t, but if you can acknowledge that you may not know everything, you are better at that same thing
Yeah, sadly experience doesn't guarantee skills... I noticed in my own field of work (10-15 years of experience), that there are some of people who constantly try to learn and improve (I am one of those), but many people tend to just get by with what knowledge they already have. It is a sad state of affairs, but that is unfortunately how it is.
I hope everyone becomes more savvy to the inner mechanisms of locks and locksmithing in general. You should strive to educate folks rather than to keep them ignorant so you can continue to rip them off.
... i've seen shocking work of experienced and certified people on sites ... worse than our students that have no experience but just follow book instructions and demonstrations for the first time
Wild that locksmiths charge extra for not being able to do their job and instead having to resort to destructive methods. You'd think that having to break out the drill would mean the cost is discounted.
Billy represents an entire generation of locksmiths that never learned how to locksmith but charge you like one when they show up with a pair of harbor freight boltcutters
I bought an old safe at an auction... 4 locksmiths each with decades of experience all offered to cut it open with a torch or grinder... which I could have done myself. found a 96 year old guy with real experience that told me how to figure out the combination on a phone call. Billy you can't fake real experience, 😂😂😂
Hey, it could very well be that he's got 42 years of experience. Plenty of locksmiths out there who just install and switch locks, and if a pick is more complex than a quick raking or a jiggler, they just drill it or cut it.
@Dont_click_this_profile Please tell me; does it bring you joy to be a predator preying on the desperate? Does it make your parents proud to know that you are a thief who specifically targets the most vulnerable people? Do your children brag about you to their friends and say that they want to grow up to be just like you? PLEASE consider your life choices and become better.
That's the same logic applies to really any thing in life. I've seen people say "well I've been doing this for years 20 years." Yeah well that means you've been doing to wrong for 20 years. 😅 People sometimes fail to see the possibility of different ways of doing things other than what they have been taught. You are never too experienced to learn something new.
For real. You might not know this, but the vast majority of people who have been playing basketball for 20 years are not in the NBA. Meanwhile, there are kids with less than 5 years of experience who make it. Talent and skill are what matter. Time is just a common way to get those, they are no guarantee by any means.
Billy just admitted he has spent 42 years of his life being mediocre at his craft and has learned little to nothing through his life’s work. If I were guilty of the same, the CIA couldn’t even get the confession out of me, yet here Billy is.
Yeah... Like that time i went to that restaurant and ordered a Poutine. Waitress came back with fry with gravy and grated cheese.

Honestly I wouldn't expect an everyday locksmith to know about weaknesses in locks. His job is to make keys, rekey locks and drill doors open. He isn't payed to do party tricks at your front door. But not knowing the weaknesses then calling it bs is the real problem with his comment.

I suppose if you had to call a locksmith, you probably don't have the key. So it as not like you can even use the lock anyway. 🤔 Edit - Apparantly I need to clarify, as so many did not understand ... Yes, the lock may be worth saving if a key is locked behind it or if a replacement can be made. Yes, many people keep spares in their home. Yes, my argument seems dumb if we assume it is a lock for your house, but the lock shown in the video isn't the kind normally used for a front door. Imagine you have a shed with the lock from the video. Would you keep the key inside of it? No, it would be in your house. If you had to call a locksmith, you probably couldn't find it. Unlocking it is not going to make a spare key magically appear, so the lock is useless.
@@AkaRyrye83 Because they are locked out of their house and need to get inside so they can get their spare key and then copy it. It's a lot cheaper to copy 1 key than replace all locks on your house.
It's like the Locksmith scene from Police Squad, where the locksmith is making a key but the grinder grabs it and throws it into the ceiling. The camera looks up and the whole ceiling is covered in keys stuck into the plaster. Obviously the locksmith has been doing it wrong for years, decades even. But he kept doing it. Wrong. It IS all just a comedy shot. That show has one of the funniest lines ever written. Crook asks "who are you and how did you get in here!?" And the locksmith replies "I'm the locksmith, and I'm the locksmith" cracks me up every time
My experience is lots of people seem to make the claim "fake" simply on the basis of not understanding how something could be done or not wanting to believe something.

A lot of people especially their generation tend to think just what they learned 42 years ago will always stand and will put no effort into teaching themselves new locks and ways of opening.

@@bobaorc7839It’s interesting how people rationalize hating groups of people by making the most random observations and spinning the narrative. Sheltered and spoiled? Even if you did write off all the pain and hardship they endured throughout their lives (tensions of nuclear war, conflicts arising from the cold war, violence and riots committing by both sides during the civil rights movement), how could the same not be said of our generation? It’s as Orwell wrote, “Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.” We need to stop pretending like a generation can define someone, you’d be surprised to find intrinsic behavioral patterns inherent within humanity itself. You really responded to a comment about a skeptical locksmith and ended by saying that most baby boomers were sheltered and spoiled.
@@bobaorc7839Reframing may be a useful tool to help with your generalizations, along with a history book and the realization that not every person in one generation is the same, nor has the same views. In fact, the world is large and full of different people, even two of the same age.

Yeah, sadly experience doesn't guarantee skills... I noticed in my own field of work (10-15 years of experience), that there are some of people who constantly try to learn and improve (I am one of those), but many people tend to just get by with what knowledge they already have.

Billy is the kind of guy to charge you $150 to get the lock opened, then immediately breaks out the drill.
You mean charge you 150, and then an additional 100 for the drill. Plus another 40 to replace the lock.
I suppose if you had to call a locksmith, you probably don't have the key. So it as not like you can even use the lock anyway. 🤔
Edit - Apparantly I need to clarify, as so many did not understand ... Yes, the lock may be worth saving if a key is locked behind it or if a replacement can be made. Yes, many people keep spares in their home. Yes, my argument seems dumb if we assume it is a lock for your house, but the lock shown in the video isn't the kind normally used for a front door. Imagine you have a shed with the lock from the video. Would you keep the key inside of it? No, it would be in your house. If you had to call a locksmith, you probably couldn't find it. Unlocking it is not going to make a spare key magically appear, so the lock is useless.
@@AkaRyrye83 Most people have a spare key in their house
@grimdagoblinmain if they had a spare at home why would they call a locksmith?
@@AkaRyrye83 Because they are locked out of their house and need to get inside so they can get their spare key and then copy it. It's a lot cheaper to copy 1 key than replace all locks on your house.
