Is your locksmith an ex-burglar?

November 26, 2013 admin Locksmith Features

Believe it or not, the locksmithing industry is not regulated in any way by the Government. This means that anybody can trade as a locksmith irrespective of their competence, background or motivation.

Whereas other areas of the security industry are government licensed (e.g. door staff, or even keyholding companies) the government sees there being no need to regulate the locksmith industry.
