What does it take to become a certified locksmith?

by **Chrispy** » 19 Oct 2005 22:30

Depends if you want to be successful or not. :wink:

And of course other things like training, education, licensing, registration, purchase of equipment, etc. (depending on where you live)

You can just buy my mobile locksmith business on ebay for $10,000. That's all it takes! :lol:

Naw, really, the answer to your question will very from place to place, so you'll get a better answer if you fill out your profile with a location.

Cheers!

Check your state regs. Legally, it often takes nothing more than a business license, though sometimes it takes more.

Practically... you gotta know stuff
