Locksmith Training

A page the old site opened and never filled in.

The old site carried this heading and nothing under it. Rather than quietly drop it, here is what we can say honestly today, and the rest is for the shop to write.

What is true today

Every locksmith here came up through an apprenticeship in this shop. Andy Leung sponsored every one of them. Isaac holds his journeymanship and trained David Reid, who is apprenticing now. We are certified under the Security Services and Investigators Act of Alberta. See Certification.

If you are looking to get into the trade in Calgary and have a question about how the path actually works, call or text us. We are happy to talk about it, the same way Andy did when a hobbyist phoned him asking for old locks to practise on. That story is here.

At your service,
David Locksmith (since 1982) 24 Hour
