We at Locksmiths Training 4 U offer an informal and hands on intensive training course that will give you all the skills required for everyday Locksmithing. Our courses vary as some are one day, others two day and our advanced courses are 4 day, however we can tailor any course you desire to suit your needs, we also offer a discount for additional courses you book at the same time as placing a deposit, we also offer a discount for returning students who wish to improve in other areas and also discount for group bookings. On all of our basic courses you are given the knowledge required to succeed in each task and with practice in your own time, after the course you will improve further, our advance courses are designed to give you all the practice you need with extra guidance and even more knowledge to make you ready to perform the tasks immediately on leaving the course. Of course you never stop learning and should you have any questions after leaving the course we are only a phone call away and always ready to help if we can. Please note, before booking a training course anywhere, please ask how many students each tutor trains on the training courses, its normally between six and twelve, here at locksmithstraining4u our ratio is four trainees to one tutor, unless otherwise requested by you, or if you choose to do one to one tuition at a premium, another thing to note is most other courses have a fixed programme, we can alter our programme to cater for your needs, so what ever field of Locksmithing you wish to learn we can make a course to suit your needs.


Our training centre has porches built inside it to re create how you will come across locks fitted in the door, with all the same problems, awkward door frames, handles etc, we have many Mortice locks wall mounted to test your lock identification, unlike most other courses in doing our smaller classes you will progress much faster, we never exceed four students per class, the course will move at your pace not ours, if you require more time on lock bumping, that’s what you will get, our only aim is to get you achieving what you came to achieve and so far we have a 100% success rate at doing that.

We also have a upvc door fitted, so all the most common doors you are going to come across are in place to recreate how you will come across doors working as a locksmith.

This allows you to use all the tools in the exact situation they will appear to you when you start out as a locksmith, this is a much better way to learn as you will carry out all the locksmith tasks as they will be, rather than making do on a bench and using a vice which really does not replicate how awkward things can be in the real world working on locks fitted in doors.

We often get people coming to us for training who have already attended a locksmith training course elsewhere, but have not been shown how to open locks properly, they have been shown the very basics which are not enough to open a variety of locks when it comes to non destructive entry, many people have not been shown anything of any use at all, it is hard to understand how students can make a living as a locksmith when they have not been shown the skills the require to do so.


Why choose us over the other training schools out there, the answer is simple, our small classes, many courses have up to six people at a time, some many more with only one tutor, ask yourself these questions, how can the course tutor teach everyone in the class at the same time, especially as each individual learns at a different pace to one and other, its not possible, many other schools have nice comfy chairs for you to sit in and pick locks, but when you begin trading as a locksmith are you going to be taking a nice comfy chair with you to all your jobs, many courses class raking a lock the same as picking, it is not, it is raking a method that works on cheap locks only, single pin picking is much more difficult and many courses avoid it because they cannot do it, let alone teach it, some courses will give you lots of paperwork to read rather than show you hands on, they will quote things like lock bumping and many other skills but only cover them very briefly, sometimes you don’t even get to have a go yourself, which makes it very difficult to learn, these things have given locksmith training throughout the uk a bad reputation yet due to their high advertising costs they still get a good turnover of students, the best way to learn anything is to do it yourself, in performing a task hands on yourself you will understand and progress much faster and to a higher level than being told what to do or shown alone, this is what makes quality training unbeatable.

The new skills learnt on our courses will guarantee you success at the door as you become a locksmith, in having our real life doors in the training room you get the feel for exactly what you are up against, rather than doing training in a vice where many courses go wrong, practicing in a vice is nothing like practicing in a door.


We have trained many large company’s, the latest being Stockport homes.
