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?

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
