ALOA 2024 | South Point Hotel & Casino | Las Vegas, Nevada 35 208A: Access Control Made Easy (AM) HALF DAY Russ Anderson Class Content: 30% Lecture/70% Hands-On Class Limit: 20 In this course, we will begin with an overview of the site survey of an opening to determine what you should consider, including codes, fire rating, frame type and door type. We will also go over the type of lock operation and how the door should function under certain conditions. The focus is choosing the most correct solution based on customer expectations, opening conditions and function as well as budget. By completing this course, attendees should be able to: • Identify any underlining factors that may cause an opening not to function properly. • Identify customer expectations when choosing a solution. • Identify how to match the proper solution with the opening • Summarize how certain codes can impact solution selection • Take in consideration customer budgetary restraints when choosing a solution. • Perform hands-on application of budget-friendly solutions 209: Spiking Electronic Locks Lance Mayhew Class Content: 50% Lecture/50% Hands-On Class Limit: 16 209R1 Lab Fee A - REQUIRED: $295 for book. If you do not own, you are required to purchase. 209R2 Lab Fee B - REQUIRED: $215 for Valkyrie. If you do not own the Valkyrie, you are required to purchase. 209R3 Lab Fee C - REQUIRED: $25 for probes. This class covers how to do electronic safe lock spiking, which can be used to "hot-wire" many locks and open them through the spindle hole. The class is a mixture of hands-on training and conventional classroom instruction. Students will start by building their own probes using the provided tools and materials. Then, during the lecture portion, they will use their new probes as they learn how to spike sample locks in several different ways. We will cover different aspects of electronic locks, including circuit board construction, component identification, spike targets, and the different types of spike circuits and how to use them. LA GARD and SecuRam swingbolts are used to teach the main principles. Other locks will be available for students to practice with if time permits. Lab Fees — This class requires each student to have their own textbook and Valkyrie in hand on class day. The full Lab Fee applies to students who do not have a textbook and/or Valkyrie, in which case they will be provided, and (along with the probes made in class) are theirs to keep. Students who bring their own textbook and/or Valkyrie will have their Lab Fees lowered accordingly. 210: Medeco3/X4 Factory Certification Class Clyde Roberson, CML, CMST, CAI, and Peter Field, CAI Class Content: 40% Lecture/60% Hands-On Class Limit: 30 This is a combined and accelerated factory certification class for both Medeco mechanical security technologies — Medeco3 High Security Cylinder systems and Medeco x4-SFIC, LFIC and conventional key control retrofit cylinders, including an overview of the newly launching MedecoB retrofit SFIC cylinder. Students will be taught the design and operation of Medeco technologies, cylinders, interchangeable cores, cam locks and other Medeco specialty cylinders. Hands-on exercises will be used to disassemble and re- assemble a cylinder, decode keys, write pinning sheets, pin cylinders, and fully combinate an M3 cylinder and x4 SFIC. General Medeco master key principles, servicing techniques and tools, key cutting, and an overview of Medeco’s full product line and key control solutions will be covered. Time will be available at the conclusion of the class to take the factory certification exams to become Medeco officially factory certified in both technologies. 211: Professional Lock Picking Harry L. Sher, CML, CPS, CAI Class Content: 20% Lecture/80% Hands-On Class Limit: 25 211O Lab Fee - OPTIONAL: $150 for DAME Video This class covers the “theory” of picking, and with the goal of students being able to demonstrate to some degree the skill, using the kinds of locks that lend themselves to the technique. For an experienced technician, picking is the fastest and least destructive method of opening a lock. Speed through those lockouts and increase your profits. The student should be familiar with the construction and operation of pin tumbler cylinders, disc tumbler cylinders and terms used in the ALOA Glossary of Terms pertaining to cylinders, keys and master keying. 212: SFIC - Small Format Interchangeable Core Josh A. Armbruster, CRL, LSFDI, CAI, and Asst. Dennis Krucinski, CRL, LSFDI, CAI Class Content: 55% Lecture/45% Hands-On Class Limit: 20 212R Lab Fee - REQUIRED: $72 for SFIC Student Manual 212O1 Lab Fee - OPTIONAL: $78 for SFIC: Advanced - hard copy book by William Lynk, CML, CPS, ICML, CMIL, CAI, M.Ed. 212O2 Lab Fee - OPTIONAL: $78 for CD-ROM version of SFIC: Advanced by William Lynk, CML, CPS, ICML, CMIL, CAI, M.Ed. Prerequisite: Students should already have an understanding of basic master keying and the ability to pin conventional cylinders. Have you ever struggled to calculate the pinning for an SFIC? Perhaps you've needed to service a customer's SFIC system but just didn't know where to start? Maybe you've been asked
