More review soon.

This book would be ok for the novice but if you have any experience at all do not expect too much. I grabbed one of these to find the title was misleading. Re-printed info you can find on the web. It would have been better titled beginning locksmithing.

After reading The Complete Book of Locks and Locksmithing, 6th edition, one would think that this book continues the study of locksmithing to a higher level. In fact, it really offers little information at all other than spec sheets from other sources.
For instance, Chapter 18, Drilling and Manipulating Safes is just six pages long. Paragraph 3 says "To learn about safes, read all you can about them, and take classes when you can."
This book was a real letdown. Save your money.

Having read the author's previous works, I looked forward to the release of "Master Locksmithing". Unfortunately after receiving my copy I found that the book lacks depth, with about half of it being nothing more than copies of lock manufacturers product information sheets.



The book lists the author, Bill Phillips, as the president of the International Association of Home Safety and Security Professionals. However attempts to locate this association online only finds a defunct website / domain name.

"Master Locksmithing" offers nothing to anyone with more than a basic understanding of locks and locksmithing. It certainly does NOT provide the information one needs to become a master locksmith.


Disappointing! Lacking in substance and depth.
