Sound Familiar?
-
You have been handed expensive imported hardware with no instructions and had to guess your way through it.
-
You have spent twice as long as you quoted on a door hardware job and still were not happy with the finish.
-
A builder has called you back to fix a defect that cost you more than the job paid.
-
You know specialising is where the money is but you do not know where to start.
-
You have watched other carpenters get the high-end jobs because they had skills you do not have yet
If any of those hit home, you are exactly who this course is for.

A Job Without This Knowledge Could Cost You Thousands
Every time you take on a luxury door hardware job without proper training you are gambling with someone else's expensive property.
One wrong cut on a $10,000 door costs more than this course. One defect notice from a builder costs you more than this course. One lost repeat client costs you more than this course.
Tony spent 22 years learning this so you do not have to. Everything he knows is in the Lockcarpentry Masterclass.
