Lockforce: The Sky’s the Limit!
Our Leeds and Bradford technician Carl Traviato got his week off to a flying start when he was called to a particularly
interesting job…
‘Roughly
70% of my jobs are to get people back into their property following a lock
out…however this one was a little different!’ For when I received a distress
call to open the locks of a HELICOPTER, I knew it was going to be a day that
challenged me to the very core of his locksmith mettle! I wasn’t wrong…
On
arriving at Leeds Bradford Airport, I quickly realised that this wasn’t
going to be a standard lock job on the vehicle’s door. Indeed there was no lock
to be seen at all? I eventually located the contraption beneath the seats of
the chopper and began the process of meticulously picking the lock…not before I
had to ask the airport’s staff to manually remove the seats so I could gain
access…regretfully, despite what I’ve been told through a lifetime of Bond
films, there was no ejector button to speed up the process.
However,
after an hour of painstaking picking, I was in! I like to think I helped enable
the James Bond of Leeds make his flight over to London that evening with his
heli-locks in order!’
So
the next time you’re locked out of your helicopter or private plane…look on
Lockforce to help you out. PS.
For those who remain ground-bound, you’ll be happy to know that we still do
plain old house locks too!
