For most of us, getting locked out of our house or our car is a pretty miserable experience.

But for Wayne Winton, a lock without a key is a thing of beauty.

When you pick your first lock, that's one huge dopamine rush.

The second is when you open your first car, then when you open your first lock, that's one huge dopamine rush. The second is when you open your first car,

then when you open your first safe, and when you open your first bank vault. When you have this

some of the greatest minds in the world to keep people

soulmate. That's about the level of joy I get. Winton is one of around 15,000 locksmiths in America

that make up a multi-billion dollar industry.

In his line of work, every day looks a little different.

Oh, I love it. I love it.

I want to be able to go unlock a jaguar that nobody else can open and then go crack an antique safe and then go re-key a home for a domestic

violence victim. I've just had so many interesting different adventures. A locksmith never

It's a whole song and dance.

And they say, oh, we need a new lock, new this, that.

And it's going to be, you know, $1,500 to $2,000.
