Locksmith Industry To Become Regulated

Have you or has someone you know fallen victim to a rogue, un-trained locksmith and been charged 100’s of pounds for a sub standard job?

Well there is a good chance this has happened to you or someone you know because the locksmith industry is unregulated meaning than anyone can advertise as a locksmith regardless of whether they have been trained and are in fact competent , most of these amateurs go after the emergency call-out market and simple ‘break’ into your home or business by any means necessary, usually using drills, hammers, even crowbars, whereas a trained locksmith will use what’s know as non destructive entry

This has been a problem for years and locksmiths have featured on consumer affairs programs such as BBC’s Watchdog a number of times over the year so the government is launching the first-ever registered and regulated qualification for the locksmith and security industry in Autumn 2019. The new government qualification is scheduled to take approximately 3-6 months and will contain an in-depth and robust training and learning program to have you ready to begin a career as a locksmith.

  1. Lots of cowboy locksmiths online saying this regulation is bollox because they haven’t heard about it (yea government is contacting every cowboy and handyman in person…FFS the mentally of these people…. ) If would be great to see these guys faces when they realise the truth…….

    1. Well said Steve…. We got this information direct from the training centre selected by the government to run the qualification…. It’s government regulation, it will be required by law not amount of moaning by cowboy locksmiths with stop it coming in…

      1. I’m not in denial I’m just not a fucking idiot… This is just Train Locksmiths trying to sell another course, another worthless piece of paper because you DON’T NEED a qualification to work as a locksmith in the UK FFS

        1. Obviously you sound like the type of ignorant unqualified cowboy that the industry is desperate to get rid of… i see you left no last name, no business URL.. I assume your’e one of those rogue locksmiths using pre-paid throw away mobiles and scamming people up and down the country.. Genuine, Professional locksmiths are looking forward to this coming in next year…..

  2. I can confirm that this is definitely a thing, it’s happening and it’s welcomed… OK it’s not ideal because even someone competent and professional like me who’s been working in the industry for years still needs the new qualification… but hey if it get rid of cowboys like Adam bring it on,,, I’m not worried,, more work for me when the cowboys are gone
