Does anyone know of any UK apprentiships in lockpicking or a locksmith who is willing to mentor a newbie. I'm not trying to find a cheap option to starting the trade, just concerned about my limit of knowledge.

Have a search around the forum and you quickly see that these dont really exist anymore in the uk and if they do they very few and sought after. Most people start up on their own to geti n the trade just as i and many others on here have. This forum is full of mentors who are willing to help on all sorts of aspects of locksmithing and lockpicking subjects. :D

Or write to and visit as many locksmiths as you can. You might get lucky.
