Earlier this week it was reported that the one man with all the keys at Yosemite National Park was fired, that being the only locksmith, Nat Vince. Don’t worry about Vince he’s already received a number of job offers according to this article. Here
Townhall has some questions about the practicality of keeping a fulltime locksmith on staff at a national park. Here
Who’s gonna turn on the geyser every morning?
He has the only keys to the building with the “Do Not Feed Yogi Bear” signs inside.
NOPE! Lemme stop ya there ! People are stupid! That’s why locksmiths are needed. Changing a lock properly is not always easy. Again people are stupid! People with a bunch of keys is stupid! You might as well just take off all the locks and leave all the doors wide open because govt employees are stupid!Except for the locksmith. He’s ok… unless he too is stupid! In that case, oh well I’ll never be able to go to Yosemite so what do I care? I’m just being STUPID!!!
Yes, people are stupid. That one park has enough specific work to justify a fulltime locksmith seems unlikely. At least if they were good at their job.
By the way: is there some federal or state requirement that this person not just be one or several mechanically adept persons in Maintenance Department aka janitors?
Maybe he could find work at the Panama Canal when we get it back.
Interestingly enough the new modern locksmith specialize in key less entry too. Am I paying for that? Then hell no.
I have keys that will fit any lock in the park including doors.
It’s called a grinder with a 5 inch cutoff wheel and I never went to lock school.
Keep cutting the fat please.
Locksmith, yeah right. He knows how to run a key duplication machine.
