A Locksmith Shop Owner, 18 May 2000
By T. A. Thompson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Locksmithing (Craftmasters) (Paperback)
It's the biggest locksmithing book I've ever seen, and packed with useful information. It's a great book for teaching my new locksmiths and I use it for reference all the time. Also good for preparing for locksmith licensing and certfication. The many pictures and drawings make the book easy to understand. A lot of good reference materials, like key blank list, depth and space charts, lockset function charts, supplier addresses, glossary. In short, it's the newest, the biggest, and the best of the locksmithing books.

Excellent book, 10 Jan 2004
By "gurt12" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Locksmithing (Craftmasters) (Paperback)
I am new to the study of locksmithing. I have worked a lot with locks and have always wanted to learn more. I read this book from cover to cover and found it very informative. I felt it went into detail a little too much with specific models of locks and key cutters, but could be helpful. All in all though, I did learn a lot and would recommend this book to anyone who wants to get started in locksmithing.

A Pretty Decent Book, 23 Aug 2000
By Thomas Nitschke - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Locksmithing (Craftmasters) (Paperback)
I found "Locksmithing" to be a very good book for beginners and for pros. It gives information that I haven't found in other lock books. It's easy to understand. A lot of decent illustrations. I like it. I recommend it.
