People usually associate the word locksmith to locks and keys. While this is true, a locksmith does not only handle locks and keys. Locksmiths are trained professionals who handle different specialized tasks, such as installing, adjusting, and repairing security devices.

With the technology evolving and innovating these days, locks have also evolved to more modern and sophisticated ones. This means a locksmith needs to undergo extensive training to master and be able to work on modern lock and security systems. There are at least four different types of locksmiths - residential, commercial, automotive, and emergency locksmiths.
