Training Swansea?

Postby Gold-e-Locks » 17 Dec 2004 14:09

Can anyone give info on a locksmith course in Swansea? I've since lost full contact details. I think they came under Locksmiths 24-7 UK Ltd, is this the same company as justlocks? Has anyone done the Swansea course, how did it go?

this is nothing to do with justlocks or 24/7 locksmiths course as this is in northampton.
either pm don braidwood for his details, or go to www.rapidlocksmith.com or go to www.24-7locksmiths.co.uk

don will give you details of his course, my own one is rapid and i teach on 24/7 course.

Hi
Firstly I would like to point out that Justlocks & 24-7 locksmiths UK LTD, is nothing to do with 24-7 in Swansea in any way shape or form we have no connection whatsoever nor will we. If he decides he is incapable of choosing a different name or simply feels he may benefit by using the 24-7 to trade as fine, what you have to ask is just exactly what does he teach, what picks does he teach with, what exactly is covered on the course, what manuals will you recieve, will you be offered a 100% refund if you are unhappy with the course?
Regards
ken

ive had some interesting chats with don, and in fairness he has traded as 24/7 locksmith for a while, i dont think hes trying to cash in on anything, just a coincidence.

i do however know that with 24 years experience in upvc and ally doors, that dons planning on putting together a good upvc repair id and opening course, which im sure will benefit alot of us.

glad to see someone else opening up this side of the job as training scarece in this area and needed

i believe so, but not sure , with no disrespect to don, i think he will do better with upvc as this is an area im told he excells in.

ive not met anyone yet who has done his lock course, im not sure what he teaches, or how long hes been at it.

im sure don will enlighten us.

I think you'll find a lot of companies trading as 24-7 Locksmiths. There's one advertised in my YP too...
