You're The Expert

What sort of skills do you look for in a locksmith? Also, I know most people who go into this are introduced to it by a parent who was a smith before them, but this is not the case for me. Would this put me at a disadvantage? Any other suggestions for getting started in the profession?

Locksmith work is a kind of tricy work you can say. You must know about all the locks and how to repair those locks whether the lock must be jammed or broken.It's not compulsory to say the parent is a smith so the son might be.If you are well tained in repairing locks and making the new keys for broken locks you can be locksmith.

so I am not a certified locksmith by any sort of definition, but my carpentric excursions of course involved replacing dors, and often folks didn't have keys, so I had to use the skills that I aquired as a 10 year old when I lost the keys tomy grandparents house.

You tube wasn't around then, but i t is now. Lots of lock-skills there. in the last 50 yerars i've acquired a lot of lock tools which would proalby get me arrested now as laws have changed as to what tools you may possess without legal certification

But basic lock-picking and rekeying has been 9.9% of my eendeavours, and alwasy related to carpentry related door replacement.

But in this day and age of high-tech keys, best and economically rational to leave it to the pros. Kinda like leaving anything beyond the two-wire electrical solutions to the pros
