After completing his apprenticeship and being exposed to many facets of the locksmith trade, including Automotive Locksmithing and Safe and Vault opening and servicing, Aaron moved into a challenging sales role with a specialist commercial locksmith company. With a passion for all aspects of locksmithing and security, he continued to train in areas including safe opening and servicing, government security, architectural hardware specification and electronic access control systems. After more than three years in varied sales role, he was offered a teaching position with the Locksmithing Department at NMIT, which he readily accepted. The new role allowed for exposure to daily use of traditional locksmithing techniques including the use of hand tools to cut keys, silver soldering, machining and fabrication of new components. Continuing to teach at NMIT allowed Aaron to complete a Bachelor of Science (Security) in 2013 at Edith Cowan University and continue to refine his skills, knowledge and craft. https://www.thekeyholesurgeon.com.au/workshops daily 0.75 2024-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ab288f1039da7105063e26/1622030109192-XDKWS07WA46E3V4HG86C/padlock+workshop+locksmith+jacksons+antique.jpeg Workshops - Aaron offers a workshop experience like no other where participants make their own brass padlock and cut their own key using original techniques and hand tools that have not changed since the early 1800’s. Using parts made by Australia’s oldest operating lock manufacturer, Jacksons of Launceston, participants mark out their parts, hand drill and file them to make a working lock. Once the components are ready, the next step is to hand cut a key to suit, using skills that are slowly becoming lost in the Locksmithing trade with the ever increasing use of technology. https://www.thekeyholesurgeon.com.au/contact daily 0.75 2021-08-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ab288f1039da7105063e26/1622031332946-R921FFAME611FKOK0T5O/Lost+Trades+Fair+Locksmith+The+Keyhole+Surgeon.JPG Contact Us - Contact us to request a quote for a project, enquire about a collaboration, or simply say hello. aaron@thekeyholesurgeon.com.au + 61 438 044 269 PO Box 287, Niddrie, VIC 3042, Australia Facebook Instagram https://www.thekeyholesurgeon.com.au/media daily 0.75 2023-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ab288f1039da7105063e26/1641267580289-XWC81GPKJQXL7ZQ50FC8/Restoration Media - Restoration Australia (2021) Series 4, Ep 6 "The Lawns" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ab288f1039da7105063e26/1622119675041-0BR9449W8D7X0HAF4W6L/International+Specialist+Skills+Report+The+Keyhole+Surgeon.png Media - International Skills Institute Fellowship (2018) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ab288f1039da7105063e26/1622119968673-TQICLHIRDYLC01K9HB5U/BBC+padlock+making+keys+antique+lock.jpg Media - BBC News (2015) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ab288f1039da7105063e26/1627973105711-MFV12CVB574XF8AG526Q/Smith+Journal+Magazine+The+Keyhole+Surgeon+Melbourne+print+media.jpg Media - Smith Journal volume 25 (2017) https://www.thekeyholesurgeon.com.au/ourwork daily 0.75 2021-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ab288f1039da7105063e26/1627973966241-XUU8VY3QZC2C3PME1BOX/IMG_2258.jpg The Keyhole Surgeon - Our Work Cut keys for padlock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ab288f1039da7105063e26/1627974187982-K0142A5A86OL3SU0EJ80/IMG_0744.jpg The Keyhole Surgeon - Our Work Manufacturing springs for rim lock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ab288f1039da7105063e26/1627974402470-QWUNARBBCSQNYKS9GLWH/IMG_6132.jpg The Keyhole Surgeon - Our Work Making keys for vintage furniture https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ab288f1039da7105063e26/1627974590585-9AAK1XS0D5V8BE5TYN3N/tempImageZ8wk93.jpg The Keyhole Surgeon - Our Work Picking open locked trunk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ab288f1039da7105063e26/1627974725151-L6IMGMXC3PPMHISRE5WI/IMG_0672.jpg The Keyhole Surgeon - Our Work Restoring rim lock https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ab288f1039da7105063e26/1627992814356-FCE9B8LWN8LKKOTL6XTM/IMG_3980.jpg The Keyhole Surgeon - Our Work Repairing lock parts
