"Learn how to cut keys and become a locksmith. You can charge a small fortune to people who lock themselves out of places. Only downside is you have to be rather reactive to any calls you get"

this is op here, good idea, but dont u need some serious skill for that? im actually pretty good at cutting keys, having quite a bit of basic experience, but as i understand it locksmithing is a pretty serious trade. but i guess i could do just basic stuff?

As a professional locksmith here I would recommend you take classes first, you can take them through the mail with certain universities. After graduating you would want to find an apprenticeship with a good locksmith in your area. It is not a profession you could just jump right into without schooling and training. Also the tools and machines needed are pretty expensive.

is there much of a future for locksmithing with everything becoming electronic ?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75720066


Yes,for the foreseeable future there is because all locks require installation and usually most electronic locks have key overrides. Electronic locks can fail to work in all the same ways and more as your standard mechanical lock as well.
