We will give you the training and support to become a highly skilled locksmith. In addition, we will train you in a proven system that will allow you to build and run a successful business.

The Training

Our full and professional locksmith training programme will give you a high degree of competency to tackle a majority of your domestic and commercial locksmith work unaided. Of course, our technical support is always there to help you through any situations where you feel less than confident.

Your comprehensive training takes place at our specially equipped training facility based at our Head Office in Exeter and covers all aspects of the locksmith trade.

You will complete between two and three weeks of theory and practical training covering all the fascinating and challenging aspects of locksmithing. Our trainers will work with you to ensure that you are confident at each stage.

After successfully completing the training, you will also be offered the opportunity to spend a few days with an experienced locksmith for some hands-on training with real customers. We also pair you up with an existing franchisee (through our 'buddy system') for further support.

As a LockRite locksmith, you will be qualified to open, pick, drill, replace and repair all manner of locks. You will also be trained in all the tricks of the trade including bypassing mechanisms, broken key extraction, how to cut replacement and duplicate keys, install digital locking systems, and repair and replace uPVC locks.

Further training courses and ongoing technical support ensure that you continue to improve your skills and increase your confidence.
