Semi-Retired Local Locksmith – 25+ Years Experience

Bob Parnell, Locksmith

I’m a long-time professional locksmith with over 25+ years of hands-on experience. Recently semi-retired and now taking limited local jobs by direct contact. I focus on simple, honest work — no sales pressure, no unnecessary hardware, no runaround. Common jobs I still take: • Lock re-keys • Lock replacement / upgrades • Home &amp; apartment lockouts • Deadbolt installs • Gate &amp; garage side-door locks Because I’m semi-retired and working fewer days, I offer lower cash rates than most full-service shops for straightforward jobs. ✔ Calm, professional service ✔ Clear pricing before work begins ✔ Cash preferred (helps keep rates down) ✔ Sacramento area When reaching out, please start your message with: “I saw your Patch ad.” This helps me keep my schedule organized. Thank you. Call or text: (916) 6 2 7 - FIVE 2 2 FIVE Please include if desiring service on a commercial or residential lock and your general location.

When I first got into management in the early 80s, restaurant managers were awarded bonuses based on hard work. They received a percentage of the profit. In the 90s, that changed. If a manager got a bonus, it was more a matter of hitting the numbers just right. They had to hit those numbers in order to make a bonus. What I learned from the change in the bonus structure is this: In the past, if a manager did their best and made a profit, they got a bonus check in return. The restaurant industry's bonus incentive in the 90s became more about avoiding complaints and meeting requirements. For example: It would start out at $10,000 and it would drop from there based on what goals were met.  We can rebuild America by bringing back the old bonus structure. It would be simple: If a manager fails to build sales or make a profit three months in a row, they are demoted or fired.
