The Key Role of Locksmiths Today
Locksmithing is one of the most important and versatile industries over its lifespan . In recent years , it has morphed from the mechanical to the digital . Even the job description has changed .
As Suresh Peri , Head of Commercial and Technical at Mul-T-Lock highlights , locksmiths are now responsible for the entire security systems for a whole range of clientele . And as the world continues to evolve with technology , the demands will increase .
As the old adage goes , you can ’ t really know where you are going until you know where you have been . And nowhere can this be seen more than in the locksmith industry , which has changed tremendously , especially in the last 10 years , since the development of smart phones and electronic technology .
Today , professional locksmiths do so much . They are the go-to technicians for installing , repairing , rebuilding and modifying mechanical and electronic locking devices .
They are expected to design and install complex master key systems , keyless security systems , access control and cloud based or mobile smart security solutions that are capable of remote monitoring .
Locksmiths are as responsible for homeowners looking for specialised , stylish hardware as they are for companies with high security needs to safeguard employees , materials , equipment and valuable data .
And there is no doubt that as society ’ s security needs continue to evolve , the role of the locksmith will be to stay on top of the new technology that meets the industry each year , without losing sight of its core skills . The locksmith of the future will have a mastery of both mechanical and electronic locking systems .
