      Huge Potential Opportunities for Trained Locksmiths in Scotland

      Burglary and vehicle crime remain constant concerns in Scotland, with residents and businesses seeking effective security measures to protect their properties.

      While a beautiful and generally safe place to live, Scotland is not immune to criminality. As such, crimes such as vandalism, robberies, and break-ins remain a cause for concern. Scottish Government published statistics show that while Scotland enjoys the lowest crime rate compared to England and Wales, rises in certain crimes have become notable. Theft offences have increased, with over 111,000 offences nationwide in the 2023-24 crime statistics alone.

      With such a large number of crimes occurring in Scotland, such as theft and burglary, skilled security professionals, such as locksmiths remain an essential asset. Being a trained locksmith in Scotland provides people with a chance to do something about this and protect the communities they live within. Trained locksmiths remain a crucial part of home and business security, providing a robust deterrent to potential acts of crime within Scotland. As a locksmith, you take on many essential security responsibilities for clients.

      Residential locksmiths primarily focus on creating high-level home security solutions. Services range from installing high-security locking systems to repairing and replacing damaged or broken locks. Emergency access remains a key service for residential locksmiths, as well, providing access when keys are lost or locks break unexpectedly. Commercial locksmiths handle services like securing office and commercial premises, installing access control systems, and fitting master key systems.

      While challenging, locksmithing is a rewarding career path for people in Scotland. There has never been a greater focus on home and business security, and becoming a locksmith allows you to help improve living and working conditions. You can build a long-term reputation and a career path that will remain in demand for decades to come, especially as advanced security systems grow in demand.

      Create a pathway into a stable career path, either as a self-employed locksmith or through another locksmithing company. To build the skills you need, MPL Locksmith Security & Training provides everything you need to get the ball rolling quickly. Now, you can build a career whilst making a difference in the cities and communities of Scotland.

      I completed the 5 day city and guilds ncfc course.The teacher was Marc. He was very helpful, knowledgeable, and engaging. Ethan from the shop was also very helpful, I contact him regularly for products. Chelsea from HR was also brilliant in advising about the course.The good thing about MPL is that once you get certified from there, you are a member of the trade club at the shop, which gives you 10% off from all products.Another advantage of studying locksmithing at MPL is that you get City and Guilds accreditation. It's currently the only centre in the UK that offers the highly respected City and Guilds accreditation.

        Relaxing in Scotland when not Locksmithing

        Working as a locksmith in Scotland comes with its own unique challenges, from navigating historic buildings with intricate locks to attending emergency call-outs in remote areas. The profession demands patience, skill, and often long hours, leaving little time for relaxation. However, taking time to unwind is important for reducing stress and maintaining focus.

        Scotland is blessed with a wealth of opportunities to relax and recharge, whether it’s exploring breathtaking landscapes, enjoying a traditional ceilidh, or simply spending time with family and friends. Here are some ways to unwind in Scotland you may find helpful.

        Client testimonial

        Bonny Scotland contains many amazing sights and sounds, both made by humans and by nature! For a good idea of some of the best places to start for things to do in Scotland when not locksmithing, we recommend the following:

        Fire up your mind with a visit to the National Museum of Scotland, a stunning building, filled with diverse collections. which take you on a journey of discovery through the history of Scotland, the wonders of nature, art and design, science and technology, and world cultures – all under one roof.

        Just 25 minutes from Glasgow, this stunning spot on the map offers a wide range of indoor, outdoor and water-based activities, as well as great shopping opportunities, food & drink and exciting family-friendly events.

        You’ll want to keep coming back to this museum time and time again. Set next to a classic Victorian park by the River Kelvin in Glasgow’s west end, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum houses a staggering 8,000 objects in over 22 beautiful galleries.

        A true icon of Scotland and has dominated the skyline of the capital for centuries. Unusually, it’s set atop an extinct volcano. It takes the title of Scotland’s most-visited paid-for attraction.

        A leading science and technology attraction located on the banks of the River Clyde. Featuring interactive exhibits, a planetarium, an IMAX cinema, and the iconic Glasgow Tower, offering visitors a fun and educational experience. 

        Sit back and relax on one of Edinburgh’s bus tours. Hop on and hop off as you like and discover the magnificent sights in Scotland’s capital, from the historic Old and New Towns to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Palace of Holyroodhouse and much more.

        With over 1,000 animals from every corner of the globe, a visit to Edinburgh Zoo is a fantastic family day out. Meet the penguins at the famous Penguin Parade and get closer than ever before to chimpanzees on the Budongo Trail.

        We have trained individuals from across the country to become skilled locksmiths and build successful businesses, including:

        Frequently asked questions

        After your initial 3 or 5-Day training, it can usually take a further 12 months to become an experienced locksmith. You will always be learning on the job, and have to keep up to date with the latest products and industry related regulations such as lock standards.

        The easiest way to begin your new locksmithing career is by attending our comprehensive 3 or 5-Day Locksmith Course which is perfect for beginners who are looking to learn how to become a locksmith within one week. Many of our students have gone on to set up their own locksmithing businesses immediately after completing the course.

        Whilst you don’t need any qualifications to train, you need a desire and a commitment to learn. It always helps if you come from a manual job or background and that you’re used to working with the tools you’ll need.

        If you are new to locksmithing and aren’t familiar with the tools and manual work, we suggest you undertake our comprehensive 5 day City & Guilds/NCFE Specialist Courses as this will provide you extra time and any additional help you may need.

        Our courses vary in price subject to course detail and training days required. Please to call us on 01924 693293 with any questions on the latest prices and availability or fill in our enquiry form.
