1. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

2. Nice one.
   Got a silly question for you. Was it you that once got a drunken woman back in to her house and she refused to pay and you locked her back out 😆and the neighbour ended up paying just to get rid of her?
   If so, could you please let me know the video title or send me the link?
   Many thanks, Joe.

   1. I wish that was me! I’d like to meet the guy that did that, sounds awesome 😂😂

   2. It’s just someone I know told me the exact same story, but I know for a fact that I’ve seen it on YouTube.
      If I ever find it again, I’ll send you the link 😂

   3. @JoeNunes345 I’d love to see that! Magical 😂

3. Yes Fortress..You got some Doe all these tools you got 😂👍👏💸💸💸 Another great Video

4. always like your tips and tricks so I thought I would pass one on..the wire in this pick needs a rub on some 320 wet &dry {the flat end} have a great day m8

   1. Interesting pal, you mean the underside of the flag but that’s hitting the pins??

   2. @Fortress Locksmiths yes the flat tip that hits the top of the pins also check if the wire is parallel to the brass I found you have to adjust this in the handle

   3. @Jon Dean yeah I’ve found you have to do this with the Yale Platinum pick as well making sure it’s parallel

5. I am actually thinking about becoming a locksmith and that’s how I found this video. This guy is awesome. It’s a good thing my delicate ears aren’t offended by profanity haha. Great video.

   1. Cheers Tom glad you enjoyed it! Subscribe to my channel as my training course will be up and running shortly 💪🏻🔑

6. wouldnt an epg open it?

   1. An EPG with a suitable blade has the potential to open it, but a dedicated tool you’ll have a much better success rate

   2. @Fortress Locksmiths What epg is best, im just starting out after doing a 4 day course, is it the Kronos one?, what are the main tools to buy you recomend for a newbie pal, and is it worth advertising on checkatrade, or just having my own website and try getting it high on the search rankings?

   3. @FORK HUGH what 4 day course did you do mate? Cause realistically they should have told you all this 😳

   4. @Fortress Locksmiths UKLA, i was the only one on the course with zero experience though, all the rest were builders or joiners etc who were familiar with the tools and the technical terms, ive never used a drill before, when i asked that the “teacher” or whatever they are called how to use one he looked at me stupid and it knocked my confidence and they were flying through things so fast, when i stopped to ask a question that the more experienced people knew, he would be annoyed at having to explain to just me, so i stopped asking questions and ended up half understanding some things, and some things not at all, i paid a grand to do the course and i felt like i was hindering him by asking him to explain things a second time, i stayed over in a hotel to do the course and i was glad when it finished to be honest.

   5. @FORK HUGH I did that course too mate. I was probably a little ahead of you going into it because I’ve done a bit of carpentry. I know what you mean though.

7. As a joiner who now and again has to break in to composite doors..would this tool help me get in as not much experience in breaking into properties…if a novice could use this tool what’s it called and how much ..thnx

   1. @Fortress Locksmiths would love to learn about it..make my life a bit easier…where r the courses and how much

   2. @Rod Maclennan based in the NorthWest pal, and website is getting published next week so everything you need will be on there

   3. @Fortress Locksmiths Is there anything in Scotland

   4. @Rod Maclennan no mate it’s my own course that I’ve designed myself

   5. @Fortress Locksmiths ok thnx..love the YouTube videos

8. What’s the name of that dedicated tool…it looks a great tool to have

9. Have you any videos on how to break into an Assa single lock or Assa double lock..thnx

   1. I haven’t Rod, you struggling on one?

   2. @Fortress Locksmiths don’t really have anyway of breaking into these….would like to hear any advice tho

10. I’ve got the gj, but can only pick the internal easy side. Any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong?

    1. Not really pal the internal side should pick more or less the same as the external side, the only difference with the external is it has the locking cam feature and more drill protection. The pins are the same although might be a different binding order

    2. @Fortress Locksmiths it’s driving me fucking nuts! Thanks for the fast reply! 👍

11. Looks like fun

    1. Great fun 🤩

12. Cool video.

    1. Cheers buddy 👌🏻🔑

13. With the Ultion and ABS cylinders being used everywhere now, picking tools are gonna be extinct in the next 10 years.

14. Is this guy speaking English? Stop mumbling!!

    1. Sorry Brian I’ll speak the queens now just for you

    2. @Fortress Locksmiths Ha! I had to… I was thinking of “The Expendables” when I watched the video… I just had to!

15. Gotta love abit a vimto lad!!!
