Questions to ask yourself before locksmith training

Our locksmith training courses are varied - ranging from 1 day refresher courses to 5 day intensive courses. But before you start our high quality training, it's a good idea to ask yourself a few things:

Which locksmith services will you offer? This includes uPVC door locks, composite and Euro cylinder locks as well as door replacement services.
Are you planning to be a 24 hour emergency locksmith?
What will you include in your service? MPL locksmith training includes auto locks, safes, access control and electrical security.
Will you specialise in residential or commercial work - or both?
What services are needed by the customer?
What area radius will you cover? Will it be a single town or a 20-30 mile radius?
How many locksmiths currently operate in your chosen area?
What's the neighbourhood like? Is there a high crime rate? Is it an upmarket area? You'll need to ask yourself this question to determine the amount of potential work you could get on a day to day basis.

We have over 38 years experience

Before offering you all the information you could need on our range of locksmith training courses, we'll do our very best to answer many of the questions which we're regularly asked by those interested in attending. There's every chance that you've looked at a number of different locksmith courses and, above everything else, will be wondering What makes the MPL Locksmith Training Courses different to any others and whether you can actually make a decent living working as a locksmith?

We can answer these questions with 100% confidence:

There isn't an easy way to make a living today. HOWEVER – our locksmith training course differs from many others currently being offered. We specialise in the uPVC side of the market with our sister company MPL (www.multipointlocks.co.uk) being the biggest uPVC door lock distributor in the country. We have been working in this industry for many years and we certainly know where the gaps are in the market.

Many locksmiths are simply unable to tackle easy uPVC jobs

This, therefore, means that there is a lot of work out there for those locksmiths who have the right skills...those which we will teach you. A replacement uPVC door will cost a customer at least £300 whilst a new uPVC door mechanism may only cost them £100. With this in mind, it's obvious which one they're going to choose unless it's absolutely essential that they replace the door, and, as such, they will be looking for someone to fit this mechanism for them. Over 80% of doors when you walk down a street are uPVC – uPVC doors fail each and every day and need repairing.

As such, if you're prepared to put in the time and the effort to market your business once you've trained, (something which we will help you to do!) you will reap the benefits – and you WILL make a decent living from your locksmithing business. We're sure of it!

All Aspects Covered

Of course, in addition to uPVC, we will fully train you to tackle wood doors and aluminium doors as well, ensuring so you can attend any job you may get called to with confidence. Above all, however, we do our best to make sure you are equipped with the skills to attack the gap in the market and carry out those jobs which others are unable to, creating a demand for you and your business.
