Locks are a crucial part of every home and business. They protect against unauthorized access and theft, and locksmiths are the professionals responsible for keeping them in working order.

They work on a variety of locks and can install, repair and replace them as needed. This includes window and door locks as well as security safe locks.

Master Locksmiths

Locksmiths install and maintain locks, keys, safes and security systems for buildings and vehicles. They also design and create master key systems (keys that only work in a certain lock).

Locksmiths may also install access control systems for doors, alarms and CCTV systems. They may be paid by the hour, but their income depends on how well they do their work.

Some locksmiths specialise in a specific area, such as commercial and automotive security. Others work for a variety of industries and offer a range of services.
