Locksmith Security Network

LSN Podcast — Locksmith Security Network | Episode 32 | Hosted by Wayne Winton

What if you could add smartphone-based access control to a door without running wires, installing a control panel, or spending an entire day on a complicated installation?

In this episode of the Locksmith Security Network Podcast, Wayne sits down with Christian Khoury and Ryan Hales from Kindoo to explore how their approach to access control is making electronic access easier for locksmiths to install, sell, and service.

Traditional access control can require power supplies, control panels, readers, wiring, network connections, electronic strikes, exit devices, and extensive installation time. Kindoo takes a different approach by integrating the technology directly into the hardware, creating a simpler, smartphone-based access control solution that can dramatically reduce installation complexity.

The conversation covers how Kindoo was founded, the problems they saw with traditional access control systems, smartphone credentials, battery-powered access control, retrofitting existing doors, electronic locks, surface-mounted strikes, and how locksmiths can add access control services without necessarily becoming experts in complex electronics and networking.

Wayne and the Kindoo team also discuss the business opportunity for locksmiths. Access control can create new installation opportunities, commercial accounts, recurring revenue, and ongoing service relationships while giving customers a more convenient alternative to traditional keys, cards, and fobs.

Whether you’re a locksmith, access control technician, security professional, integrator, facilities professional, or someone looking to expand your security business, this episode offers a look at where access control technology is heading and how locksmiths can take advantage of it.

LSN Podcast — Locksmith Security Network | Episode 30: Tim Coleman from Wesco | Beginner Locksmith Course To Builds Real Skills

Hosted by Wayne Winton

New locksmiths don’t fail because they can’t pick a lock. They fail because they skip the foundation: how locks actually work, what tools belong in the van, how to rekey without creating a liability, and how to stay legal and professional when the customer is stressed and the job isn’t textbook.

In Episode 30, Wayne sits down with Tim Coleman From Wesco to walk through a locksmith beginners course built for people who want to do this trade the right way — not the “watch a 12-minute video and buy a Lishi” way.

This conversation is for:

-People considering locksmithing as a first or second career

-Apprentices and shop owners who train new techs

-Experienced locksmiths who still get calls from “new guys” who were never taught pinning, impressioning, or customer verification

Topics typically covered in a solid beginners course (and what this episode unpacks):

-How keys and pin

-tumbler locks actually function

-Rekeying knobs, levers, and deadbolts without wrecking the cylinder

-Key duplication vs. code cutting — and when each one matters

-Basic bypass techniques used ethically and legally

-Tool kit reality: what you need day one vs. what you buy after you get paid

-Professional habits that separate a locksmith from a liability

Whether you’re just starting or you train people who are, this episode is about building competence before you build a reputation.
