Quick answer: A 2-day foundational, hands-on workshop in Klang Valley for people entering the locksmith trade with no prior experience. You learn how locks actually work and leave able to operate basic locksmith tools, then — if you choose — enter the documented MyLock dispatch pathway.
Who this workshop is for
Complete newcomers to the trade — career-changers, renovators, handymen, or anyone wanting a foundation in practical locksmithing. No electrical or mechanical background is assumed. If you already work as a locksmith, this track is likely too basic — look at our Automotive or Advanced Locksmith tracks instead.
What you’ll learn (2 days, hands-on)
Five blocks, bench-based
How locks actually work
Pin-tumbler and wafer mechanisms, and the common failure modes you’ll meet on real jobs.
Key cutting & duplication
Cutting on a manual machine, and duplication technique that actually turns.
Pin systems & rekeying
Rekeying basics and how master-keying logic is built up.
Residential troubleshooting
Stuck locks, worn cylinders and simple lockouts — the bread-and-butter calls.
Non-destructive entry concepts
Safe, non-destructive approaches for basic residential door locks.
Taught on real locks and real machines, not slides.
