What is a locksmith?
It is interesting that many people have no idea what a locksmith does, let alone that we exist. Though one of the oldest professions ( yeah, along with that one ) Locksmithing has never been precisely defined in modern terms.
Once an element of blacksmithing, iron mongery, sometimes also the farrier. Curiously in Europe, especially the UK, locksmiths also are sometimes the cobbler.
Locksmithing has remained similar for hundreds of years, but following the industrial revolution, that began to change. Since the 1980s, another revolution in technology has been transformational to the locksmithing trade. Not much shoeing horses in a modern lock shop, though you are welcome to hitch your 4 legged ride outside !
Today, locksmiths are responsible for supplying and maintaining mechanical, electro-mechanical and electronic security devices for home, industry, automotive, and utility applications. For new construction and remodeling, locksmiths are the preferred source for designer door fittings as well.
