This course teaches you how to accurately read locks, choose the right manipulation strategies, and significantly increase your opening success rate in the field when faced with complex, high-security cylinders.

2 Day Maintenance Course

A massive portion of a locksmith’s daily revenue comes from ongoing property maintenance, alignments, and component repairs. This practical two-day course is specifically designed to master the mechanical side of the trade, ensuring you can quickly diagnose and fix faults rather than just replacing parts.

It is a highly practical course that adds immediate value to any property maintenance or locksmithing business.

The course also covers critical troubleshooting skills, such as toe-and-heeling to fix dropped doors, resetting slipped mechanisms, and opening jammed uPVC doors with zero cosmetic damage to the surrounding structure.
