Deadbolts for Dollars - Easy Money In Your Spare Time is geared towards individuals who need an extra source of income and who desire to work for themselves. David Calvin, author of a number of books covering focused aspects of the locksmithing field, has been a locksmith for over 25 years and writes about the locksmith trade primarily for people wanting to earn money doing lock related work. Deadbolts for Dollars makes the case that anybody can learn to install, repair, tweak, and replace deadbolts for friends, neighbors, and family members. Because many business start-up costs are often high, you may want to consider becoming an expert in deadbolts, and doorknobs, exclusively. Your most expensive tools will be a nice drill and a lock jig. Other tools, like hammers, chisels, hole saws, spade bits, drill bits, and screwdrivers you already own. How much can you make to show up at a neighbor's home and replace their deadbolt? Try a $45 service call, the price of the deadbolt, and some labor on top. This book details a step-by-step, fully illustrated, deadbolt installation which alerts you to pitfalls and shortcuts. But, more than that, you get tips and tricks that only a veteran locksmith knows. You also get tips on lock malfunctions, breakage, repairs, and where to buy nice quality deadbolts available to locksmiths. This book also discusses when to use drive-in bolts and when to use standard ones. There is short section on advertising and pricing, as well as ideas for making sales. What are you waiting for? David can teach you to walk into a friend's home, look at the bolt bore (which is usually not bored correctly), and walk away with $75 and up. As always, David provides the book purchaser with his email address and website and is always happy to help with any questions new business owners may have. $9.99 is the price for this book; but you will make ten times that on your first call, even if you do not install a deadbolt!!!!
