Locksmithing is an old trade, but it has evolved over time. Locksmiths in Omaha are trained to service traditional problems such as replacing and fixing door locks, mechanical safes and car locks, but many also install master-key systems, monitor electronic locks and building security systems. A Locksmith in Omaha is more than just locksmithing, it’s a craft, and here is why.
A Locksmith in Omaha is a Craftsman
Historically, locksmiths constructed or repaired an entire lock, including its constituent parts. The rise of cheap mass production has made this less common; the vast majority of locks are repaired through like-for-like replacements, high-security safes and strongboxes being the most common exception. Many locksmiths also work on any existing door hardware, including door closers, hinges, electric strikes, and frame repairs, or service electronic locks by making keys for transponder-equipped vehicles and implementing access control systems.
Not All Locksmiths are Certified and Formally Trained
Licensing is required for locksmiths in less than 20 states. The good news is that all locksmiths in Nebraska are required to maintain a valid registration certificate (or license) issued by the county clerk in which the business is located, and demonstrate a proficiency in locksmithing by passing a comprehensive locksmithing exam.
Job Experience
Employers typically require locksmiths to have at least 1-5 years of locksmithing experience. A Locksmith in Omaha can gain professional experience through a locksmithing educational program or a professional apprenticeship. Some employers may provide on-the-job training programs, which don’t require newly hired locksmiths to have professional experience.
