The purpose at LockInfoNet is to provide useful information about locks and installation to the general public. Who makes up this LockInfoNet web thing? Mitch Peifer, a locksmith with over twenty years experience with Central Safe And Locksmith Company in Washington, D.C. I hope this site answers a lot of common questions concerning lock identification and terminology in the hope of preventing even more screwed up doors and lock installations from coming into being. The information and installation articles provided on this website are not intended to amount to instructions, but to show what various installations involve, and will hopefully provide some useful information for someone attempting an installation. Perhaps the information provided here helps you decide you do not want to try to install or replace something yourself, thereby keeping you from making a mess of things. Hopefully you will at least be encouraged to buy a better quality lock even if someone else is installing it for you. Feel free to contact me by e-mail if you have any ideas on what you would like to see, or if you have any problems with the site.
