To Be A Locksmith In Los Angeles

I recently locked myself out of a home I was house sitting for

. Had I been in Los Angeles, where I usually reside, a locksmith would have been as easy to find as graffiti. And so, being as how I was out in the countryside and not in Los Angeles, I tried my hand at being my own locksmith. Making my way toward the garage and making some "Custom tools," I proceeded to pick the lock to the home and retrieve the misplaced key. I must confess, however, that locksmiths have their trade mastered, for I never even came close to budging the lock to the home and eventually was forced to give in and break a window.

Ever since the experience, I've thought extensively on what it would be like to be a locksmith in Los Angeles. As far as image goes, a person couldn't ask for a better place to work their craft. More than that, something tells me that in Los Angeles, there are more than a fair share of homegrown locksmiths who happened to learn their trade through less than legitimate means.

From my ordeal, I started to wonder, what does a person need if they want to become a locksmith in a place like Los Angeles? Certainly it takes more than just the ability to pick a lock. Maybe not. And do they do it the old fashioned way, picking it with the tiny metal hook and bar we've all seen from the movies? Maybe there's some expensive machine, some kind of digital skeleton key that analyzes the lock and picks it all by itself?

Whatever the case may be, I'd love to be able to be a locksmith in LA. Something about getting a call in the early evening, showing up to a house with a handful of precision metal tools and going to work on a lock while the distressed bystanders watch in awe. It seems like the right fit for me. That's one of the reasons why I love innovative new online entrepreneurial companies. With the options available now online, who knows. Perhaps one day, I'll finally break down and learn those strange occupations that have always been intriguing to me, and market myself as the detective, locksmith, writer I've always wanted to be. I guess until then, I'll keep dreaming.
