    What is the primary hazard when working with gas-powered tools in an indoor space? 

    • Corrosiveness of the fuel

    • Carcinogens in the fuel

    • Temperature of the motor and parts

    • Hazardous vapors or fumes

    Correct Answer
    A. Hazardous vapors or fumes
    Explanation
    When working with gas-powered tools in an indoor space, the primary hazard is the presence of hazardous vapors or fumes. Gas-powered tools produce exhaust gases that contain toxic substances such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds. These gases can accumulate in enclosed spaces and pose a serious health risk to individuals who inhale them. It is important to ensure proper ventilation when using gas-powered tools indoors to prevent the build-up of these hazardous vapors or fumes.

    • Tension wrench and hook pick

    Correct Answer
    A. Tension wrench and hook pick
    Explanation
    Tension wrench and hook pick are the correct tools used to manipulate a lock. A tension wrench is used to apply rotational pressure to the lock, while a hook pick is used to manipulate the individual pins within the lock cylinder. By applying tension with the wrench and manipulating the pins with the hook pick, a lock can be successfully picked and manipulated to open without the original key.

    Explanation
    When using a portable ladder to access an upper landing surface, the side rails of the ladder must extend at least three feet above the landing's surface. This is to ensure proper stability and safety while climbing up or down the ladder.

    • Clamps

    Correct Answer
    A. Threads on the cylinder and a set screw
    Explanation
    A mortise cylinder is joined to a mortise lock by threads on the cylinder and a set screw. The threads on the cylinder allow it to be screwed into the lock, providing a secure connection. The set screw is then tightened to further secure the cylinder in place. This combination of threads and a set screw ensures that the cylinder is properly attached to the lock and prevents it from coming loose or being easily removed.

    A power tool has a 3-pronged plug but the only available outlets are 2-pronged. What should the technician do?

    • Remove the outlet and plug and hardwire the tool

    • Use a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter

    • Remove the ground prong from the power cord of the tool

    • Locate a 3-pronged outlet

    Correct Answer
    A. Locate a 3-pronged outlet
    Explanation
    The technician should locate a 3-pronged outlet because removing the ground prong from the power cord of the tool or using a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter would compromise the safety features of the power tool. Hardwiring the tool would require more extensive work and may not be necessary if a suitable outlet can be found.

They are responsible for ensuring that the technician or salesperson follows all regulations and guidelines, and can provide guidance and support when needed. Working under the supervision of a licensed manager helps maintain the quality and safety standards required in the field.

    When removing a Kwikset entrance set, what should the locksmith remove first? 

    • Cylinder

    • Strike

    • Screws on the inside of the knob

    • Latch

    Correct Answer
    A. Screws on the inside of the knob
    Explanation
    When removing a Kwikset entrance set, the locksmith should remove the screws on the inside of the knob first. This is because these screws secure the knob to the door and need to be removed in order to access the other components of the entrance set, such as the cylinder, strike, and latch. By removing the screws on the inside of the knob, the locksmith can easily detach the knob from the door and proceed with the removal of the other components.

    Correct Answer
    A. Hook
    Explanation
    The hook pick is designed to pick one pin at a time. It has a curved, hook-shaped end that is inserted into the lock, allowing the locksmith to manipulate the pins individually. This pick is commonly used for single-pin picking, where each pin is set one by one until the lock is successfully opened.

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    A standard 5-cut key cylinder typically contains 5 tumblers and 5 springs. Tumblers are the small pins or discs inside the lock mechanism that align to allow the key to turn, while springs provide tension to keep the tumblers in place. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.

  • 14. 

    Of the following materials, which key blank produces the most obvious marks? 

    • Nickel silver

    • Brass

    • Cobalt

    • Steel

    Correct Answer
    A. Brass
    Explanation
    Brass is the correct answer because it is a softer material compared to the other options listed. When a key is inserted into a brass blank, it will leave more noticeable marks due to its softer composition. This is because brass is more easily scratched or indented, making the marks more obvious and visible. Nickel silver, cobalt, and steel are all harder materials, so the marks left on them would be less prominent and not as easily noticeable.

    • Medeco

    • American

    • Master

    • Kwikset

    Correct Answer
    A. Medeco
    Explanation
    Medeco is considered a "high security" brand of locks because they are known for their advanced technology and superior construction. Medeco locks are designed to be resistant to picking, drilling, and other common methods of forced entry. They also offer patented key control systems, which means that keys cannot be duplicated without proper authorization. This level of security makes Medeco locks highly trusted and widely used in commercial and residential settings where maximum security is required.

    • Consists of locking knobs

    • Is not lockable

    • Has knobs on one side of the door

    • Has knobs that do not turn

    Correct Answer
    A. Is not lockable
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Is not lockable" because the passage set is a type of lockset that does not have a locking mechanism. This means that it cannot be locked and is used for doors where security or privacy is not a concern. The other options listed in the passage, such as locking knobs, knobs on one side of the door, and knobs that do not turn, do not accurately describe a passage set.

    • A screw in the lock

    Correct Answer
    A. Two screws from the back of the cylinder
    Explanation
    A rim cylinder is held in place by two screws from the back of the cylinder. These screws secure the cylinder to the door, ensuring that it remains in position and functions properly.

    • Manual flush bolts

    • Fusible link louvers

    Correct Answer
    A. An overlapping astragal
    Explanation
    An overlapping astragal is required on a pair of fire doors because it helps to provide a tight seal between the doors, preventing the spread of fire and smoke. The overlapping astragal is a strip that is attached to one of the doors and overlaps the other door when closed, creating a barrier that helps to contain fire and smoke. This is an important safety feature in fire doors to ensure that they effectively function in preventing the spread of fire in a building.

    Which of the following is a legal requirement for obtaining a locksmith license in the state of Oklahoma?

    • Completion of a locksmith apprenticeship under a licensed professional

    • Passing a criminal background check

    • Certification in advanced electronic security systems

    • Owning a locksmith business for at least one year

    Correct Answer

Owning a locksmith business is not a prerequisite for licensing.

    Pick guns work by: 

    • Crushing the springs

    • Bouncing the top pins above the shear line

    • Clicking all pins above the shear line

    • Bouncing the bottom pins above the shear line

    Correct Answer
    A. Bouncing the top pins above the shear line
    Explanation
    Pick guns work by bouncing the top pins above the shear line. The shear line is the line where the inner and outer cylinder of a lock meet. When the top pins are lifted above the shear line, the lock's cylinder can rotate freely, allowing the lock to be opened. The pick gun achieves this by rapidly striking the bottom pins, causing the top pins to jump and momentarily clear the shear line. This creates a brief window of opportunity to rotate the cylinder and unlock the lock.

    What type of key normally must be duplicated with an end mill cutter? 

    • Paracentric

    • Skeleton

    • Tubular

    • Bit

    Correct Answer
    A. Paracentric
    Explanation
    Paracentric keys are designed with a unique shape that features a side groove, making them difficult to duplicate using traditional key duplication methods. The end mill cutter, which is a type of milling tool, is specifically used to duplicate paracentric keys due to its ability to cut complex shapes and grooves accurately. Skeleton keys, tubular keys, and bit keys do not typically require the use of an end mill cutter for duplication.

    • Rounded on the end, hooked on the other end

    • Pointed on both ends

    • Pointed on the end, flat on the other end

    • Flat on both ends

    Correct Answer
    A. Flat on both ends
    Explanation
    A top pin is a type of fastener used in mechanical applications. It is typically cylindrical in shape and has a flat surface on both ends. This design allows the pin to be easily inserted into holes or slots and provides stability when in place. The flat ends also ensure that the pin does not rotate or move once inserted, making it an ideal choice for securing components together.

    What function describes a locket that permits emergency access when locked, but allows free egress?

    • Closet

    • Passage

    • Communicating

    • Privacy

    Correct Answer
    A. Privacy
    Explanation
    A privacy function describes a locket that permits emergency access when locked, but allows free egress. This means that the lock can be engaged from the outside, providing privacy and preventing unauthorized access. However, from the inside, it can be easily unlocked and opened, allowing for quick and easy exit in case of an emergency. This function is commonly used in bathrooms and bedrooms where privacy is desired but safety and ease of exit are also important.

    In lock picking, the tension wrench:

    • Holds the tumblers at the shear line

    • Raises the pins to the shear line

    • Relieves the pressure on the tumblers

    • Relieves the spring pressure

    Correct Answer
    A. Holds the tumblers at the shear line
    Explanation
    The tension wrench is a tool used in lock picking to apply rotational pressure on the lock cylinder. This pressure is necessary to create tension and bind the pins inside the lock. By holding the tumblers at the shear line, the tension wrench prevents them from falling back into their original position when other pins are being manipulated. This allows the lock picker to successfully manipulate the remaining pins and unlock the lock.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Egress side" because when referring to the handing of doors for a lockset installation, the egress side is the side of the door that allows for easy exit or egress from a building or room. It is important to consider the egress side when installing a lockset to ensure that it can be easily operated from the inside in case of an emergency.

    • Retain the plug within the cylinder

    • Transfer the motion of the plug to the lock

    • Prevent removal of the key in the wrong position

    • Anchor the cylinder to the lock

    Correct Answer
