keys
When I was fourteen I got a job working at Taylors Hardware and Supply. As one of my duties there I cut keys. I did this with my eyes and with my hands and with a very fast very sharp very hard disc. Basically I did this manually. I had the original on a guide and the new key on the cutter and went to work moving it up and down with my hands when needed.
There's a point to this hold on.
I got a house, and was getting copies of the keys made thursday evening, but when I tested them on friday two of the copies didn't work so I went back to Lowes to get them redone. I would have done them myself had I something that could cut them, but alas I had to go to Lowes, and this time - because I wanted to make sure the cutter did his job right I watched.
And, instead of the way I used to cut keys I witnessed something which causes me great agony. The guy stuck the original key in a little slit and then he stuck the new key in a different slit, pushed a button, and then started reading some magazine.
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE REFINED CRAFTSMENSHIP OF MAKING KEYS????????!!!!!!!!!
NUMBER 1:
In all my years of cutting keys no one ever came back to the store to return a key that didn't work, and Lowes uses a machine that onlu gets 1/3rd of the keys cut right?
NUMBER 2:
When the machine finished cutting the key the "attendent" didn't check the accuracy of the cut - he just threw the new key in a bag. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR WORK.
NUMBER 3:
While the machine was cutting the key he was reading VIBE. Um, excuse me... unprofessional.
Call me old fashioned - Maybe I am old fashioned - maybe I expect a higher quality service than Lowes can offer. Maybe I expect my keys to be cut right the first time manually.
It's really not a hard thing to do cutting keys - You just follow the old key and make the new key look like it.
Maybe I took this a little to hard.
Maybe I'm thinking about this a little too hard.
Maybe I see the replacement of the way of cutting keys by hand with a machine with a button on it the advancement of society to the point of losing something.
Cut keys by hand - you'll learn preciseness, patience, pride, and a whole sleugh of other things.
If anyone finds an old key cutter please let me know. I will use it to cut my own keys from now on and if anyone wants it done right the first time it will get done right the first time.
