Is there an ethical dimension to locksmithing?
Yes. Locksmithing is an old craft, and there is a strong tradition of ethical responsibility. A trainee (apprentice) learned about locks and security, and was supposed to have the personal integrity to avoid abusing that knowledge. This “do no harm” concept has been incorporated into the ‘hacker ethic’ which is found at MIT (in the “hacking community”) and elsewhere. If you have any additional questions please contact New York Locksmith and our locksmiths will be happy to help and answer any lock and key question you might have.
