who are the best locksmith suppliers

US lock is high priced on many of their items but they have some items that's hard to get elsewhere.

I am in the south and use Hans Johnsen Company / Dallas /

Clark Security Products is great, they also have the free CRUS Aviator software that lets you lookup parts (and pricing) to order online. You can also track order status and history online faster than calling someone.

Security Lock Distributors are Ok (they are on the way up I hear).

Wilco repeatedly sucked flat out, they seemed to backorder anything worth more than $50, and stock as you order like they have no warehouse. (The Oakland CA office, I'm in the Silicon Valley)

what is so private about suppliers. your "trade relationships" has absolutly nothing to do with anyone else. if they are not qulified? they can't buy from your supplier anyway.. sometimes I think you carry this "secret" thing to the extremes.

You don't teach anyone how to pick locks either unless you've known them for -- what is it -- two years? Honestly, why even take the time to respond to someone by telling them that you aren't going to answer their question? If you have nothing to say, wouldn't silence be golden?

I use several distributors, but IDN Armstrong's is my favorite.

In other words you buy from retail sources because you have no NY sales tax ID number.

then, why is it not a good question to ask?

There are two more suppliers that should be considered: Bell Security of Bloomfield, NJ and Mayflower Sales of Brooklyn, NY City.

You nitwitt, if you would go get a sales tax ID then you wouldn't have to buy from retailers who will sell to your end user customers, because few if any legitimate wholesalers will.

he didn't really say but, the guy could have been a locksmith or another qulified person just looking for opinions for a good supplier. that was my take on it..

We are in the lock industry. I was just curious what others think.

noted, your question was on-topic. hope that some of the responses gave you the info you were looking for. try a google search for locksmith supply in your area.

g'day to ya

whatever makes your boat float. but he was on-topic for this group.

if your supplier will sell to anyone, then IMO you need a new supplier. mine wont.

Jesus Christ, quit buying your locks from HD/Lowes etc and you won't have to worry about them selling to your retail customers.
