Terry started Locksmithing when he was 15. His dad didn’t want him to get into Locksmithing, but was still willing to pay Terry $.50 per lock he master keyed. Since then, Terry runs the most successful locksmith company in British Columbia. His company, Mr. Locksmith, has been operating for over 15 years and is rapidly expanding. Terry has a passion for locks, but when he is on the job he has to separate his hobby from career. A hobby locksmith will spend hours tinkering with a lock to figure out how it works and how to defeat it. Terry states, when you’re on the job, that’s just not cost effective. When the customer needs in, we have to be able to get them in as fast as possible.
