Why become a locksmith?

Get yourself a trade job

When I was younger my mother always told me, get yourself a trade job and you’ll never be short of work.

Although things have changed since then, mother knows best and there’s plenty work out there if you’re a hands on guy like the staff at locksmith Belfast.

5 Benefits of becoming a locksmith

As with all work there are some strong reasons to become a locksmith:

·It’s a people job: You’re out, your about and you’re always interacting with people.

·Every day is different: You’re here, you’re there, you’re everywhere.

There is no typical day for Locksmith Belfast, you never know what today holds, let alone tomorrow

·The money’s good: Generally, the money for the amount of work you do can be good.

·Your Schedule, Your Time: You’re the boss, you choose your hours. If you have family commitments or just want some flexibility then this could be the perfect job.

·You make a difference: People like locksmiths, do them a good price, help them out when they’re in need and you will have made that persons day!

Locksmith Belfast have made many a persons day and it goes a long way, remember – service with a smile

5 Disadvantages of becoming a locksmith

Late night calls: Unfortunately, due to the type of work, you can’t help when someone is locked out, and a lot of the time, someone will be looking for a local locksmith, in the early hours of the morning. No beauty sleep in this game!

·The waiting game: You are at the mercy of someone getting locked out, or wanting to change or upgrade their locks, so you could spend a lot of your day, just waiting for the phone to ring.

·Quiet spells: The worst thing for someone self employed is when the phone’s not ringing. This can happen a lot if you’re a locksmith.

·People not paying: This one is more common late at night. A common occurrence is someone whose had a few beverages, lost their keys and needs to get in, calls you up. And after quoting your price and doing the job they spring it on you they have no money. That ones never fun.

·On call 24/7: When you’re self employed like ourselves at Belfast Locksmith, the week really merges into one. You could be out every day of the week as you’re on call 24/7. Due to locksmithing being an immediate need, you may find people don’t want to be booked in for appointments, they want to see someone ASAP.

Generally locksmithing is an enjoyable career, the flexibility and the money can be good, but be prepared to work for it and have certain privileges (like sleep) taken away.

the preferred way of becoming a locksmith is to train by taking courses accredited by the Master Locksmiths Association (MLA). The MLA is recognized as the authoritative body for locksmithing by the police, the Home Office, the British Standards Institute, and the Association of British Insurers. There are beginners’ courses lasting from one to five days for people with no industry experience, and advanced training courses covering the latest locksmithing tools and specialist techniques.

There are many other companies who offer such courses and you must choose a company who will not only deliver the course but who offer help and advice.  Remember to also check the company out before taking up a course as your qualification may not be recognized.

What’s included in a typical beginners course? A beginners 5-day locksmith course will be an ideal way to start your career. This course will cover subject such as:

Types of locks currently in use & terminology.

How much does a locksmith earn?

When you work for yourself you can expect to get a salary of approximately £16,000 to £30,000. A locksmith career salary depends on a few factors; how many hours you work, how many days a year you are available, if you are available at night and if you have a specialism for example if you are trained to take on auto locksmith inquiries. What we have learned at Belfast Locksmith is that the more experienced you become in locksmithing the more jobs you will feel confident to take on, and the more jobs you take on the more money you can earn. Earnings are dependant on area and competition. So if you’re thinking of becoming a locksmith, do your research, get quality training, and go set the world on fire!
