About Me

I'm a full time locksmith running 'Island Locks Ltd' which incorperates TLC - The Locksmith Training Company, and The Locksmith Shop. Most of my time is spent doing locksmith related things but I try to have a break away from it now and then like popping down the gym to relieve some stress!

The LTC web site takes up a lot of the time I would normally have spare, but I love helping people who are intersted in the trade, or those already doing the job. By running this site, I hope it helps people find informal and helpful advice.

Note: If you have a specific question, idea, or comment, please use the Forum area or the contact us page. Thanks.

Hi Jay - meeting you hosted was absolutley fantastic. This meeting was very technical, lap tops, micro-scopes, key impressioning, de-coding 114 levers, car lock demos going on. Stu was busy, he is a great instructor and has a gift of passing on his knowledge, just like yourself and believe me I'm so grateful to you guys for all the t echniques and info I've learned is invaluable. Anyway, once again Jay, thank you very much for a great meeting.

All the best.

007 Dan, Westside Locks (can't wait for the next meeting!)

Hi Jay
Thank you for your welcome message.
Seen your videos on YouTube, very impressed. Made my own Fortress PreLifter after seeing yours, thinks it needs a bit of tweeking though as the wire gets stuck when bolt enters the lever gates!

Hi Jay,
I did a three day course with you last year. Since then things have gone well and I've found the site really helpful. I'm now looking to joining the ALOA or similar association and was wondering if you could advise me. Thanks Jay.
