Who Would Be a Good Fit?
This position is well suited to someone who likes figuring out why something isn't working and how to fix it.
You don't need to come to us already knowing how to be a locksmith. We can teach the locksmith-specific skills to the right person. What is harder to teach is mechanical aptitude, curiosity, attention to detail, reliability, and a genuine interest in learning.
The locksmith and commercial door industry is incredibly varied. One day you may be repairing a lock, the next installing an exit device, troubleshooting an access control system, adjusting a commercial door, or working on an automatic operator.
If you already have experience in the trades and are looking for an opportunity to expand your skills into a specialized career with plenty of variety and problem-solving, we'd like to hear from you.
