Locksmithing
Locksmithing
Locksmithing is the profession of creating, installing, or maintaining locks, safes, and related mechanical access control technologies, such as alarms. Locksmiths use various methods of compromise to open and remove locks for customers. Because of the nature of skills used, locksmithing is restricted to licensed or certified individuals in certain states and countries.

Licensing and Certification
- See the Legal Issues page for specific licensing laws.
Many countries, provinces, or states require that locksmiths be license or certified. The level of training and experience required varies, but many places require that an apprenticeship or training program be completed. In more extreme cases, a diploma from an engineering college is required. Currently, the majority of states in the United States do not require licensing or certification, but a contractor's or business license is usually required.
