This review is from: Locksmithing and Electronic Security Wiring Diagrams (Paperback)

This book is an excellent resource for someone like me who is in the door and hardware business. I had it only one week before needing to reference it on a project. If you want to learn about hardware wiring diagrams and how to draw them this is the book for you.
