🔐 DAY 5️⃣ — THE FINALE! 🔐

Five days. A whole lot of locks. A whole lot of keys. And probably a few moments of “WHY is this thing not opening?!” 😂🔑

Today our Fundamentals of Locksmithing students wrapped up the week with cam locks, key impressioning, hands-on practice, and plenty more locksmithing knowledge added to the toolbox.

And because you can’t survive five days of locksmith training on keys alone… BBQ was on the menu! 🤠🍖

Congratulations to this group for putting in the work all week long! 👏🔐 You came ready to learn, practice, troubleshoot, and keep trying until everything clicked — literally. 😆

🔐 DAY 4️⃣ — FOL AUGUST 2026!

Today was all about MASTER KEYING! 🔑🧠

They worked through master key systems, cut master keys AND change keys, and put those key machines to work. This is definitely one of those days where the phrase “just make me a key” takes on a whole new meaning. 😂🔑

And after all that brain power? 🍕 Blaze Pizza to the rescue! Because apparently master keying requires pizza. We don’t make the rules. 😆

One more day to go! 🎉🔐
