Tips for new locksmiths
My advice to new locksmiths ? First , make sure you have some financial cushion , because the initial setup costs can be significant , and the first few years can be challenging as you establish yourself in the field . Having some extra money saved up can really take the pressure off . It ’ s often when new locksmiths run out of cash that they feel forced to give up .
Do your homework on what you need and have a clear understanding of the costs involved . Talk to other locksmiths about what you ’ ll need in your first year . When you ’ re not working , invest your time in research and training . Read architectural ironmongery and lock catalogues , learn different methods of entry , and familiarise yourself with the products . Gradually build up your skills
over time . And , of course , come and train with me ! I offer courses that will give you a solid foundation and ongoing support as you grow in this profession .
Just Be Kind : Train With South UK
What I love about locksmithing is that every job brings something new . I always feel like I am learning , and it ’ s incredibly satisfying to be skilled at something and to help others . It ’ s a humbling experience . However , what I dislike is that some people can be overly critical and negative , which I ’ ve heard from my students . It ’ s disheartening – but I suppose this happens in any competitive industry . It doesn ’ t hurt to just be kind to people . Come and train with South UK Locksmithing Training , we ’ re a friendly bunch and offer a relaxed ‘ hands on ’ approach to training where no question is a silly one .
